Somewhere in our evolutionary scale there was a person who invented the faux sideburn. If you don't know what I'm talking about, you probably have one and think it is a real sideburn. What I'm talking about is the long hair that comes down from about your ear level and hangs down as if it were a sideburn. This is not okay. You see it a lot on women who choose to have short hair (more on that in a moment) and you also see it a lot on young people who can't grow sideburns, but the most prominent place that I've seen it recently is on "emo" people. I've actually been seeing it more and more on "adults" and I'm wondering who said that it was an okay thing to do? If you can't grow a sideburn, let alone two, you should just deal with it, there is no growing your hair long and pretending you have sideburns. This action reminds me of the Sierra Mist commercial where the guy has a beard comb over. What would possess you to think this is okay? Listen emo guy, I feel for ya, you're probably the only person in the world that life has shit on, and I know that must suck, because no one else has ever had their heart broken, or had uncaring/mean/violent/abusive parents, or simply parents who did not understand them, or didn't get their music, or whatever the fuck you're so "fuck the world" (although you would probably say "ftw") about, but there is no need to subject he rest of the world to looking at your poor excuse for sideburns. A person's hair says a lot about them, and as you are always saying you are being pigeonholed, maybe you shouldn't pigeonhole yourself into the douche bag category right off. On to the women who have this hairdo. Listen, ladies, I love ya, every single one of you, but having a man's haircut isn't helping your case. Realistically there are very few women who can pull of the "man cut" and each of them is divinely attractive. So, when you see a picture in a magazine of the most beautiful women with this mando, don't think it works the same for everyone. If you are unattractive, and especially if you sort of look like a man anyway (as most women I've encountered that have the mancut do) don't go to the extreme and make your sexuality even more ambiguous. it sucks that for some reason you were dealt a card that makes you a Shim, but you have to deal with that the best way you can. The responsibility lies on your shoulders to figure out how to make yourself look like an attractive woman, and to let people know what you are, don't put on camouflage. Finally I want to say to the kids with F.S., don't worry, there is help for you. There is a new invention called the razor, or even scissors, or even just ask your barber to hit those up too and you will be saved the embarrassment of living with F.S. If I haven't been clear enough yet, let me just say, no one is fooled by your sidetrickery.
