From envy to scorn
I never believed it.
Our "Curly Girl" Guru, the "Tie" of Casa Gustie, has insisted for ages that there is a bias against women with curly hair. That women whose hair has a natural spring to it are somehow deemed less beautiful. As someone who has always envied fully developed curls (rather than the sickly, frizzy waves on my own head), I didn't believe her.
Doesn't everyone want curly hair?
But last night, I picked up the current version of in Touch Weekly to check out their take on fashion and style at the Golden Globes. And there was the slur on page 27 - under a photo of the gorgeous Melina Kanakaredes.
"The CSI:NY actress' corkscrew curls are so tight, they look like they're about to snap."
Um, nevermind that her hair is THAT CURLY naturally. So the moral of the story for US is, apparently, you can go curly--as long as they're long and loose. No natural tresses allowed.
Curly Girls need love, too, in Touch!
