Back in elementary school, one of the most
dreadful things to happen for anyone is —
wait for it — getting your hair chopped into bangs.
You're such a failure at making decent introductions, Marcia. For reasons unknown, bangs were awful and we would try to grow them out as soon as we could, pinning them with hairpins(preferably Hello Kitty ones. Or am I just
old?) and brushing them unconsciously.
Take note of the use of past tense. I remember when I was in second grade, I had these absolutely dreadful layered bangs and I still shudder whenever I think of them. Or look at them.
Ugh. How I've managed to live with them for over a year is still a mystery I pondered on whenever I'm not reading
Sherlock theory blogs.
However, like fashion and other things, some hair trends just never die and would always come back to haunt you like Moaning Myrtle and her wails. Bangs are one of them. This time around, it's blunt, razor-sharp bangs. And a good thing too, because any of those "feathered" bangs or pin-up bangs or any bangs in vogue lately are just awful. Besides, why are there so many names for bangs anyway. What's the point are you trying to file types of bangs into a periodic table of elements for hair or some shitz. I
obviously have too much sugar while writing this.
And who had started this whole freenzy over bangs? Rooney Mara, obviously, requires no further introduction on this blog(I should just stop calling this blog
Style Abuse and renamed it as
Dedicated to Rooney Mara or some cheesy name you use when writing a blog about your wife.
Yes, Rooney is my future wife we're engaged GET WITH DA PROGRAM MA SISTAH) Her role as
Lisbeth Salander in
The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo not only comes with
(Oscar) best actress nominations but also a set of
drop-crotch pants structured bangs. It's pretty, it's flawless, it shows off her eyes and cheekbones(that can rival with
Benedict "Cucumber"'s.
Nusardel Oshana you better be reading this. Anyway). And it
literally goes with
everything. Designers took note, and soon those bangs are on the runways of Versace and Calvin Klein, fall 2012. (
Funnily enough, Donetella was also inspired by David Fincher's
Fight Club(he who direct
TGWTDT) for
her fall 2000 collection but that's just me being a smartass) Effortless and gorgeous, now
that's a beauty trend with staying power.
