Honestly, I don't care what Miley Cyrus does. She can wear her underwear over her pants. She can run around in little short-shorts. I don't care. She's practically an adult. Are we going to ask the same question next year when she's 18 and officially an adult? Will people stop caring then? It just seems like faux-concern.
Are Jennifer Lopez and Marc Anthony so important that they need to travel with a guard dog? The dog probably needs therapy from working for them. Who wouldn't?
All I took from this whole column is that it's been so long since The Real World San Francisco that a sit-com where teenagers regularly break into song has co-opted the name Puck for a character and presumably the character isn't a drugged up messenger boy. Wow.
@bluebears: Thats what I think of when someone mentions Puck from Glee. It makes me giggle a little to think of a little "knavish sprite" causing all sorts of mishaps in love.
Uggh, Zac's hair tip sounds terrible, I hate having a wet pillow. True story: when I used to go to bed with wet hair in elementary school, I would wear a santa hat to bed to keep my pillow dry.
@bluetrain84: I take a shower every night and go to bed every night with wet hair. It's no big deal really, you just have to remember to wash your pillows every month or so or else they get all stained and gross. Sounds gross, but I can not sleep with dry hair.
@wooden_shoes: I applaud you for your ability to do this, I wish that I could because it would save me a lot of time in the morning. We are like polar opposites: you can't sleep with dry hair, I can't sleep with wet!
@bluetrain84: I shower at night, but I blow dry it before I go to bed otherwise it looks haggard in the morning. And while cute, just-got-fucked hair might look awesome for Zac Efron, my boss gets prickly when I wear ponytails so I'm not pushing my luck.
@HannahBethD: Hang on a mo... Your boss spends time developing strong feelings about ponytails? Unless you're a hair model, I'd tell your superior to go suck eggs. Nicely. But still. Eggs.
@A Small Turnip: My boss has many strong opinions on a great number of things, which she is not shy about sharing with whomever happens to be listening.
And yes, it has been decided that ponytails are unprofessional. So the days when my Medusa hair just won't cooperate, up in a ponytail it goes and I hide in my office so she won't see it.
@HannahBethD: Jaysus, girl. You've got amazing self control for not pantsing your boss mid-soliloquy, which is what I would be sorely tempted to do. Ponytails. What's next? Picking on kittens?
You keep on with your bad be-ponytailed self, H. Do it for me.
@whynotshesaid: @EsmereldaFitzmonster: @A Small Turnip: It is infuriating. No lie. I get that because I'm the PR flak, I should look professional at all times. OK, no problem. But she really doesn't understand that my hair will do whatever it wants whenever it wants and a ponytail is the only reliable method for keeping it under control.
I'm tempted to let come in with it in its full Helena Bonham Carter-esque glory one day and ask which she prefers.
Oh, and my boss is a serial micromanager. Ah, work life!
I dunno - I don't care about Miley at all. That's a pretty iconic movie (and a pretty tame movie, at that), 17 years old is not 12 years old - when I was in school, for Halloween a guy came to school dressed like Tom Cruise from Risky Business, and I don't think anyone freaked out about the fact that he was dressed as a john. Why do our standards always have to be so stringent?
@laureltreedaphne: When I was 13, I wanted nothing more than to dress as Julia Roberts' character for Halloween, so I confess I'm mostly just jealous. Well, the part of me that's still 13.
@laureltreedaphne: When I was 12, I decided I would go as a hooker for Halloween. My mother wouldn't let me, so instead, I went as an 80s hooker, and she didn't know the difference.
WTF, 12-year-old self?
I was also doing it to impress my boyfriend at the time. We wandered around for like, an hour and then went back to his mom's trailer, and she scoffed at us.
@boxspelunker: Hah! I love that story. I had a friend whose mom let her go as a geisha when we were like 10, which I think a lot of neighborhood parents were a little taken aback by.
Haha. I do Zac Efron's hair thing because I go to work way too early to shower in the morning. I don't have sexy Zac hair when I wake up though. I usually spend the first 15 minutes at work undoing the tangles.

Halloween!
A time to dress up like hookers
It doesn't matter that I'm 12, right?
