You may be optimistic. Equally as likely, a new glam for "stick
figure chic" will be born, heralded by critics as "so organic, so
unexpectedly and modernly primitive that the art world will
never be the same."
Next, Soho and Tribeca "Ink In" events, where the marginally
famous but utterly untalented apply tattoos to each other, again
hailed by critics as "expressive of an underlying social pain
which traditional art has never expressed so expressively."
I find it best to nod and smile.

Most women have long hair because they think it
distracts from their flaws. Short hair means
either that she's confident, which is always sexy,
or sometimes, it means that she simply does not
have any flaws.
