Our looks. Yeah. I don't care about the homeless, the burgeoning unemployment rate, my parents' vanishing retirement account, my husband's job, my child's health care, the next Depression... it's all about my 'do and manicures! 'Cause we wimmins, we're not real bright! We just wanna look pretty for the mens!

What complete crap.

I can't believe it! I want to stay in my house and provide my kids with shoes that fit, so I haven't seen my hair stylist (normally about $100 a pop) since April. I look terrible... in fact, I finally broke down and purchased a $10 box of hair color so I can do it myself tonight. I'll push the haircut a few more months. But I'd rather live in my very mediocre house with horrible hair than live in a box with an awesome "do".

The last time I did have my hair done, my stylist mentioned how slow business was. She said that women were coming in for cuts but forgoing the more expensive treatments -- and that was back in April!

This doesn't surprise me. Even though it is considered to be a respected paper, most of what I read in the NY Times is total BS. They so often use anecdotal information to come to a conclusion. I have stopped reading this paper.
