The Holiday Season is upon us and, as predicted, we’re still wearing face masks to keep ourselves and others safe from the spread of the Covid-19 virus. Masks are now a part of everyday life, so it makes sense that consumer mask design continuously evolves to create products that are more comfortable, effective, and — very important — stylish. Previously here on The ‘Gig, we reviewed a line of fashion and lifestyle accessories from Pomchies, a certified woman-owned company with an interesting back-story.
This Rock Your Hair Moisture Madness conditioner might be a great haircare product, but don’t try to tell that women aren’t initially buying it just because they are attracted to the rad Hot Pink packaging. Because I will not believe you.
Spotted at TJ Maxx in the Financial District, NYC.
Yes, It Exists: This Inflatable Pink Wig was spotted in the Flying Tiger shop on Third Avenue near 73rd Street in Manhattan. Sells for just $6.00! What a bargain!
Lasts night, after innocently clicking on a way old picture of 1980s UK dance band Kajagoogoo (I very much enjoyed their hit single, “Too Shy”) I accidentally discovered the website, Don’t Judge My Hair, and had to bookmark it immediately. This is a hilarious picture-based blog dedicated to poking the fun at (often clueless) people who have outrageously ridiculous hairdos. I can get on board with that. Enjoy!
Update: Sadly, this site is not longer online as of 10/24/11 – Bummer!
I realize that wearing a scrunchie in the hair is verboten in accepted fashion circles. But fuck that: I have very long hair that needs to be tied up on my daily commute through the PATH train wind tunnels, or if I am in any kind of breeze at all, otherwise I’ve got my hair flying all over the place and sticking to my lipstick and all kinds of unacceptableness. So, the scrunchie is pretty much a part of my daily accessorizing ritual, as it keeps the hair tied back neatly while adding a little splash of color to whatever outfit I am wearing.
