Stuff White People Like #104: Girls With Bangs.

{click link above or picture to enlarge}

what do we learn from this?

and how it relates to me.

a) "...White people love women who wear their hair with bangs that hang straight down."

I'm pretty sure this statement, in reference to me, is true.

b) "...For white people, this simple haircut makes a bold declaration by saying that the wearer is artistic, deep, and has probably dated a guy in a band you like"

artistic? maybe

deep? deeper than the arctic ocean

dated a guy in a band you like? wouldn't you like to know.

c) "Throughout the world, many cultures feature ceremonies to announce that a girl has become a woman. For white people, the haircut-with-bangs is an important symbol that a female has completed her transformation from a nerdy girl to a cool woman."

in 2006 i went for some real side sweeping bangs.

in 2007 i was talked into the bangs.

in 2010 i still have them

[because i haven't cut my hair since february, disgusting i know. and because i like them. and because i don't want to grow them out. and because no one has told me they hated them. ummmmm, do people hate them?]

d) "When you are introduced to a group of white people, it’s a good idea to befriend the girl with the bangs. She’s probably the most popular."

probably a good idea. and probably true.
