"Good And Bad Hair": Because You Can Get Away From Watching This At Your Cubicle Today

Have you noticed we haven't posted any videos today? That's what happens when you put the New Economy in the hands of the Old Economy, folks. Anyway awhile ago when we were going through all that nastiness with Glamour and Anglo beauty standards industry — the Relaxis of evil! — we found this clip from the Spike Lee production School Days and then yesterday I was watching Something New, a Christmas present from my sister. In the movie the white guy asks Sanaa Lathan to get her weave cut out and she does and then her mom, who is not exactly neo-soul on the whole issue, balks. I would get a clip of that movie for you, but this is actually funnier.

'Glamour''s Suze Yalof Schwartz Hates Black Butts, Cannot Lie

Remember when that Glamour editor told luncheon full of lady lawyers that like, having black hair is one thing if you're, like, Allen Iverson or Sir Mixalot or whatever, but in the corporate world you needed to keep your politics out of your hair i.e. not be black? Okay, so then, remember how our sister site Gawker outed Glamour "Suze on Style" blogger and executive fashion editor Suze Yalof Schwartz as the probable culprit? So guys! Today on "Suze On Style"
I think I've truly seen it all now - check this out: The Brazilian Butt Enhancer. Seriously, I've never met someone who wanted a larger rear, have you?
Ha ha ha ha so you're blogging to us from the year 1957, Suze? Anyway, we consulted the writer of the original American Lawyer piece, Vivia Chen, on the incident for a reaction as to, you know, WTF. More »

'Glamour' Editor To Lady Lawyers: Being Black Is Kinda A Corporate "Don't"

The latest issue of Glamour advises readers use Kimble leave-in conditioner followed by a flat iron followed by a curling iron followed by spritzer and augmented with hair extensions to achieve "Mary J. Blige's loose beautiful curls." Um, how about time better spent solving the mortgage crisis? Well, a recent slide show by an unidentified Glamour editor on the "Dos and Don'ts of Corporate Fashion" at a New York law firm shed some light on the topic, according to this month's American Lawyer magazine.
First slide up: an African American woman sporting an Afro. A real no-no, announced the 'Glamour' editor to the 40 or so lawyers in the room. As for dreadlocks: How truly dreadful! The style maven said it was 'shocking' that some people still think it 'appropriate' to wear those hairstyles at the office. 'No offense,' she sniffed, but those 'political' hairstyles really have to go.
