Thought I was through with blogging, but this hair thing has been obsessing me so -- yes, I know it's irrational but maybe talking about it to you will help me let go of the irritation. 
How come I only noticed a few weeks ago? How long has this been going on? Did the Pope recently issue an edict saying you can't anchor a cable tv network unless your hair is below your shoulders...you can't make a commercial for this year's automobile unless your hair is long and almost -- but not quite entirely -- straight?Women are ironing their hair again?...we might as well be back in the '80s.
And what's the word I'm trying to remember (I once heard that the nouns are the first to go, and that's true) -- aha! extensions! That's the word! I've been dealing with hair for more than nine decades now, and I happen to know it takes at least a couple of years to grow hair down to your shoulders, so we're talking hair extensions, right? or did everyone on TV suddenly decide to wear wigs? I can't tell just looking at them -- what do you think?Maybe I haven't been paying enough attention. Maybe it's been happening over a period of a few years and I just never noticed?
And why does this whole thing irritate me so?
