Just blow drying long hair takes a half hour, much less the time spent straightening/curling it or anything like that.

I guess this is why I don't blow dry my hair. The thought of just standing there doing that for any amount of time makes me want to claw my eyes out.

I'm with megan. my hair looks great, has lots of body when dried with a round brush, but I can't stand it.

I wouldn't even own a hair dryer if the former tenant of my last Brooklyn apt didn't get a promotional one sent to her in the mail years after living there.

Seriously! I give mine five minutes tops. Really I just try to dry my bangs and let the rest of my hair fend for itself. And my hairdresser knows I'm like that and cuts my hair accordingly. Yeah, it looks great when she totally dries it and flatirons it or whatever but I think it still looks good enough air dried.

Ha! I will just sit in the corner clutching my hot comb, flat iron, 3 1/2 inch barrel curling iron, 1 1/2 barrel curling iron, hair oil, styling paste, and various and sundry other styling products. If I let my hair air anything after I washed it, things would not be pretty.

Having said that, I agree that most of the stylists on this year's Shear Genius are less than impressive.

SYTYCD soon! Unlike the folks on SG, these fools have been mostly turning it out this season.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

My hair dryer, round brush, radical cream and hairspray are with you. I cannot air dry my hair or it is skeery. But, I have short, thin, fine hair. Blow drying takes all of 5 minutes.

anyone? on the origins of the 4 real hand shoulder thing? I think it is very interesting who does it and who doesn't.

Now, that's a Mia routine I really liked!

Ooooh, Nigel, you dog!

Danger is my middle name, only I spell it R. u. t. h. - Tina Belcher.

Speaking of hair dryers, mine just suddenly sprung to life while I was sitting on the couch watching tv. I heard a wierd noise and went to see what it was and my hair dryer had turned itself on! I couldn't turn it off either! I had to unplug it! WTF?

Anyway, SYTYCD is starting out very well tonight. So far Courtney & Will, Comfort's solo and Katie and Twitch have all been very good!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Mia loves a prop dance, doesn't she? That was hot -- Twitch is great when he really commits.

And interesting that Comfort went to performing arts school. I wish they would promote the dancers as well-rounded like they really are instead of giving everyone a little label.
