Hillary: "Pay Attention To Your Hair"
So I was walking past "Blow," a new salon in the MoJo hood, when I spotted this quote, attributed to Hillary Clinton, taped on the door:
I have to say that in all the years since I've been at Yale, the most important thing that I have to say today-is that hair matters. This is a life lesson my family did not teach me, Wellesley and Yale failed to instill on me: the importance of your hair. Your hair will send very important messages to those around you. It will tell people who you are and what you stand for. What hopes and dreams you have for the world…and especially what hopes and dreams you have for your hair. Likewise, your shoes. But really, more your hair. So, to sum up. Pay attention to your hair. Because everyone else will.
And I thought: That can't be real. But it is.
This isn't meant to be a slight on Hillary, btw. More just a sad commentary on the state of politics in America. More on how Hillary is judged on her looks here.
Comments
Well, I read the speach, and hope you're trying to make a joke as Ms. Clinton obviously was in her speech . . . .
Do we know she was joking? I know it sounds shallow and goofy, but there is truth to it. For instance, a person whose hair is in a more fixed style seems like they might be more organized than someone disheveled. Of course, on closer inspection this falls apart. Anyone can think of a friend who never has hair out of place, but is kind of a ding bat. I'm sure a study has been done somewhere about this.

Yet another reason not to vote for Hillary. As a bald man, I'm highly offended.

Bill Clinton needs to regrow that beard.

Bill is a sexy charmer with or without the flaver saver

Televison doesn't do justice to Hillary's hair. In person, the multi-colors are as perfect as a seal point siamese. As a cat fancier, I was quite impressed by it.
