Via Jezebel:

“The latest issue of Glamour advises readers use Kimble leave-in conditioner followed by a flat iron followed by a curling iron followed by spritzer and augmented with hair extensions to achieve “Mary J. Blige’s loose beautiful curls.” Um, how about time better spent solving the mortgage crisis? Well, a recent slide show by an unidentified Glamour editor on the “Dos and Don’ts of Corporate Fashion” at a New York law firm shed some light on the topic, according to this month’s American Lawyer magazine:

‘First slide up: an African American woman sporting an Afro. A real no-no, announced the ‘Glamour’ editor to the 40 or so lawyers in the room. As for dreadlocks: How truly dreadful! The style maven said it was ’shocking’ that some people still think it ‘appropriate’ to wear those hairstyles at the office. ‘No offense,’ she sniffed, but those ‘political’ hairstyles really have to go.’”

It’s not the fact that the chick said this that p*sses me off. It’s the fact that Glamour hired someone dumb enough to say this…

AT.

A.

LAW.

FIRM.

…who is probably making twice the amount of dough I’m making.

Sheesh.

Update: On the other hand, from the Beeb:

Liberia’s ‘immoral dress’ crackdown

Liberia has banned students from wearing artificial hair extensions such as weaves or attachments at school.

Education Minister Joseph Korto told the BBC it was a way of “instilling moral discipline in our young people”.

Not sure if wearing a weave is immoral, unless you’re Lil’ Kim or someone.
