Posts Tagged ‘Drowning in Hair Goop’

Gentle readers, I realize I’ve been lax with posting for the past couple of months. Fortunately, the very capable Brook has been picking up my slack with her hilarious Project Runway Canada recaps (I’m pulling for Sunny too).

Never is a girl more susceptible to a new hair product than in the seat of her hairdresser.

I have no idea where this bottle of MODE Straightening Balm came from, but it’s been a fixture on my bathroom counter for a couple of years now. Possibly it just materialized one day, half-used, a mediocre gift from the Product Gods. More likely, I stole it from my mother’s bathroom one time when I [...]
