#121-The "Poof"

 (note: I have tried refraining from doing this post because I thought it was my opinion alone that hated these things, but after upwards of 3 e-mails in recent months (most recently Stephany Mirelez) , I have realized I am not alone in hatred of the trend of the Poof)

Although this was before my time,  I have had several conversations with females from the 80's and early 90's  who looked at pictures of their hairstyle from back then at the pictures would look something like this:

 

And inevitably the response from the daughter of the 80's/early 90's is "WHAT IN THE WORLD WERE WE THINKING?" They then recall how they were so positive they were being stylish and trendy at the time. But what once was a style is now considered vomit in the next generation....

And ladies and gentlemen, there is a pandemic in Apostolic circles right now that is being counted as righteousness in apostolic circles. It's called the hair poof :

(Note that as I perused my facebook friend's photo section, almost everyone of them had a photo of themselves with a "poof" similar to that above...but i didn't want to lose friendship over this post so I posted pictures of non-apostolic girls).....

And mark my words...5 years from now (hopefully 3 months from now), you females will be looking at pictures of yourselves with this bumps from hell and be wondering "WHAT IN THE WORLD WAS I THINKING?"

I have heard rumors that in the 70's apostolic women would put oatmeal boxes in their head and wrap their hair around the boxes to create the necessary trendy effect of a poof the size of Mt. Everest....I would have thought we would have learned from these mistakes of our past....

But thanks so such convenient tools as the bump-its:

Anyone can put these mysterious balls of hair aka the poof on their head....

And we are not satisfied with these hair tumors in the back of our head like most, but rather it is much more trendy to put the poof in the front of the hairdo.....

STOP IT!

For the first few months after these hair tumors came out, I was convinced there was something going on inside these poofs....

Like were females trying to hide a tennis ball or football inside their head just in case they found themselves wanting to take part in a spontaneous game of tennis and/or football?

Perhaps these females were hiding contraband in their hair or devil's paint (make-up) in their head...for surely where is the last place someone would look for sin than within one's glory?

but no...the answer was not that anything useful was going on in these storage facilities....

Rather quite the opposite...The poofs are generally as empty internally as the souls of the "poof-perpetrators" themselves...

Here's a hint lady, if your hair trend models after either Snookie or a bunch of polygamists, you probably need to stop:

Seriously, the quicker this trend of "the Poof dies" the quicker I can get onto writing a post about leggings....
