Big pants are in, the kind that used to be called clown pants, only a whole lot bigger, cargo pants 10.0, and an awful lot of people think they are cool, not funny. Other big pants flare extravagantly and pool at the bottom in a way that used to keep tailors busy, but this is, apparently, intentional. It would be hard to avoid tripping on all that fabric under your feet, there being an ample supply for a second pair, so I assume they come with a prescription for an X-ray.
But this is supposed to be about Big Hair, which is, according to some, back. If big pants are your idea of ideal, maybe you buy some. Instant gratification. But if you decide you want big hair that is your hair, not a wig, or a fall, or any other form of help, it isn't going to happen right away.
From a recent New Yorker cartoon:
How To Have Long, Luscious Hair In Two Easy Steps — Guaranteed!
Have short, luscious hair.
Don’t cut it.
Yes, all you newly-minted Big Hair fans out there, it's going to take some time, during which you may find that Big Hair is Out. But while you are sitting around waiting for your hair to grow, put on those enormous pants that are the latest fashion trend and look in the mirror. Do you like what you see? That's really all that matters.
Someone wrote that being in style isn't up to you. It's up to the people who look at you and decide if you are in style or not. Are you okay with that? Think about it. To be honest, I find it a little scary.
Thanks for tuning in.
Keep those comments coming! They are great.
Loved this!!!!!
During the pandemic’s early days my wife allowed me to cut her hair, just a trim of her bangs and ends. What do you know: her hair grew quite long and luxurious. A natural redhead, it was quite the spectacle. Much to my great dismay she withdrew from this arrangement and is now back in the clutches of the hair dresser’s cabal.
