Hair ties... yep, that's a topic

Can I talk about hair ties for a minute? Thanks.

Have you ever noticed that when you need one the most you can't find one? They are like socks, except when you lose a sock you blame the dryer. When you lose a hair tie, you have no one to blame but yourself... and of course the invisible gnomes in your bedroom.

So here you are, with your beautiful long wavy hair... or in my case long hair, and you desperately need to put it in a pony tail because if you don't get it off your neck this very instant you're going to have a panic attack and pull a Britney! But, you search and you search and you search and despite the fact that you bought a pack of 20 the day before YESTERDAY, you have manged to lose every single one of those little suckers in less than 48 hours. Now you're left with the reminder that you just paid $4.99 for an empty misshapen piece of cardboard.

I am convinced that hair ties disappear faster than men trying to avoid commitment. But I digress.

I salute women who are brave enough to rock the short hair cut. Run a comb through it and they look model ready. I wake up in the morning and it looks like I just got out of a wind storm in the desert, with camels that spit on your head and sand collects in your hair and not on the ground. Again, I digress.

So, if you find yourself in a situation where you need to put your hair in pony tail but you can't, consider this: Only women like Halle Berry can rock the short cut, so don't shave your head.
