Lulu and Moxley's mom (me) has been very upset since receiving a comment from a disgruntled reader who questioned my smallness of mind for being obsessed with Oprah's hair. It's been keeping me up at night. Maybe this person is right. Don't I in fact have bigger things to worry about than Oprah's hair? Should I instead be writing a blog dedicated to curing global warming or perhaps saving the whales? Am I just a small petty person?I guess what concerned me most is this person said Oprah doesn't care about my hair. Could this be true, I thought? Could Oprah really not care as much about my hair as I do about hers? Did this person have insider knowledge that Oprah doesn't care about my hair or was she just guessing? I mean, did Oprah directly tell this person "I don't care about Lulu and Moxley's mom's hair." That would kill me.
After much contemplation, I reject the notion that Oprah doesn't care about my hair. Oprah wants me -- all of us! -- to live our best lives and if we're all having bad hair days we can't possibly live our best lives. So, listen disgruntled person, I will continue to advise the world of my important world views on hair, including Oprah. Because, if not me, who? Gayle certainly isn't doing it. There are already people on the global warming and whale-saving fronts. They don't need me. Oprah does.
That said, I have nothing new to say on Oprah's Fridays Live. Hair still straightened (bad). Ali still an idiot. Mark still horrendous. Tonya Harding was on yesterday and dare I say I feel bad for her? I am never making fun of Tonya Harding again. Not even her hair (it's too long but her bangs weren't severely curled under so I give her points for that). I decided I like her better than Nancy Kerrigan. They kept showing that clip of Nancy after getting pummeled by Tonya's peeps crying "WHY? WHY? WHY?" Well, because. You're annoying.
Today on Fridays Live Oprah did tell us that her hair is not a weave. Okay, good to know. So, I think Oprah needs a visual of how much better her hair looks curly. Above, Opes. You're welcome.

I am the person who suggested that Oprah does not care about your hair. She may care about your well-being, although I have not seen any evidence of that in her writing or on TV, but she does not care about your hair so I was baffled about your obsession with hers. There are much bigger issues that Oprah addresses that seem worthy of comment and I would be interested in your comments about the issues that she raises.
ReplyDeleteYeah, well, anonymous. She isn't writing about those so why the hell are you reading? Start your own blog and go away!
ReplyDeleteLulu and Moxley's mom, I was so relieved that you will continue writing about Oprah and her hair. And THANK YOU for finally being the one to say it out loud: Nancy Kerrigan is annoying. Man, that feels good.
Anonymous, it's called a sense of humor. You should get one, they're nice.
ReplyDeleteYes...please continue writing about Oprah's hair! You are completely right and I think you're hilarious...so please ignore "anonymous". By the way...I bet "anonymous" has bad hair.
ReplyDeleteHer hair really does look better curly. I wonder if she lost a bet or if her stylist secretly doesn't like her.
ReplyDeleteNot only is your writing hilarious, but your readers are a pretty funny bunch too! Why don't you all come to my playgroup??? Not one person has a sense of humor there.
ReplyDeleteOMG, once again, you've risen the sides of my early morning mouth into a smirky smiling grin. thank you for your ridiculously articulate, no-holds-barred sense of silly sarcastic smarmy humor
ReplyDeleteWell, I have bad hair too (I've just accepted it), but I can still find time to care about Oprah's. I'm that giving.
ReplyDeleteIt's a sad world where I feel bad for Tonya Harding, but I do. Laura, I would totally come to your playgroup!
