Just wanted to commend your valiant efforts in the Spiegel thread yesterday. I could only watch slackjawed from a safe distance, but I appreciated your presence in the fray...

Well, since yours ended up not private, my response should be, too! I'm glad you've been enjoying Team Jezebel political coverage and mine. I so rarely get to read the comment threads in any sort of depth these days, but I've been appreciating yours when I catch 'em.

@bowleserised:

Wow hey, I did not know that I could get messages, haha. I thought there would be an alert or something.

I did stop using shampoo in April but I just started again because I went on vacation and my hair got really gross.

But I don't use soap ever, since like 3 years ago and highly recommend!

Don't know! What a small www, though. That forum is where I got the idea to put coconut oil in my hair, + a link to an awesome indian clothing store. I never actually made an account there though, so I couldn't see the galleries.

It is INDEED Long Distance Clara! An early childhood heroine of mine!

It showed, sometimes there's a lag with comments. :D

I was thinking of a picture I saw on that forum when I mentioned the white hair. Great minds think alike!

If you keep your hair long until you are a grandmother, your grandchildren will think you are the awesomest grandma ever. They will write memoirs about watching you brush your long white hair. That's what usually happens, right?

Yeah, I think some people just make a career out of disapproval. Like everything is an extension of them, and if anyone has different taste it's like "HOW CAN THIS BEEEEEEE"

I avoid shitting on my hair by tucking it into my blouse. :D

I'm trying like hell to work "grandes horizontales" into my regular vocabulary and shall let you know if and when I have any luck doing so. Thank you.

One comment read, "Oh I didn't mean you are fat, just that you are ugly" Ha! That whole thing just begs the question: if it really was misunderstood, why not cross-post the issue here in Jez? I doubt many of us knew about this on BISJ. I emailed the first of Stephs rant to the editors, thinking they'd post it here, but no such luck.
