perhaps the whole point of this experiment is HAIR!

[ever_neutral]

listen.

as i've bemoaned 8224 times, i have this overwhelming and excruciating guilt over unfinished memes. so. i have spring-cleaned this journal, and have organised all the unfilled discussion prompts into categories. they are as follows:

• wrong!ship awareness meme slots


• blogging about fictional characters


• television reviews


• random shit

under this last category: hair, the subject of this post.

background: ten billion years ago eowyn_315 requested a picspam of Nina Dobrev's hair. however, rather than limit my hair appreciation i've decided to make like Laura herself and pay respects to hair from various fandoms. with photoshop.

if y'all think you're ready for that action then follow the cut.



but first --

HONOURABLE MENTIONS:

• the female cast of Game of Thrones #when good hair happens to bad shows


• Reign's hair accessories


• all of the female Upper East side plastics on Gossip Girl


• Buffy Summers circa season five


• Inara Serra's glossy black tresses (most similar in colour to yours truly!!!!)


• basically every period show in my intro post

and now the top five, in alphabetical order because i have not the strength to count down

♛ LUCREZIA BORGIA



i actually can't stare directly at these pictures... my cat edited this for me.





♛ ALISHA DANIELS



NATURAL CURLS, MOTHERFUCKER!!1!1!1!!!!!!! fight me.





♛ KATERINA PETROVA



(note: in putting together the above caps i was reminded in full force the dismal quality of this television program's lighting. R.I.H.)

i haven't gone here in 79 billion years and yet, in the name of this post, i was compelled to revisit homeofthenutty's gallery and compile this scant tribute to some of the greatest hair of our time.

hilarious story: Laura actually chose the other doppelganger over the above, with the rationalisation that "Elena's poker-straight hair is just as unattainably gorgeous as her Katherine curls." to that i say:

♛ MARGAERY TYRELL



it was a herculean effort to choose between Margaery and Sansa and queen C, but the Dormer thirst destroys all in its path. :| :| :| :| :| :| :|

:| :| :| :| :| :| :| :| :| :|





♛ SERENA VAN DER WOODSEN



y'all were expecting Blair. don't mistake me, my heart says Blair, but... my eyeballs... say otherwise. yes, even with my apathy towards Blake Lively's face. no one is more dismayed than i. i feel unclean in my soul. i will pay for this sin, some moment when i least expect it.

TL;DR 👌 @:

• natural curls


• if not that, then well-tamed unnatural curls. each time i use a curling iron i feel a dread that can only befit the rebirth of voldemort. (if anyone has any curling hacks hmu.)


• elaborate 'dos designed for less homicidal people. see: Lucrezia's twisty braid hairnet bun contraption.


• non-beige middle parts


• the "completely implausible yet charmingly unkempt" look. see: Serena's veritable MANE. *crosses self*

here endeth the spam. COMMENTS? QUESTIONS? VITRIOLIC DISPUTES? spam your faves that i ignored. peace 'n' blessings.

lists like this are hard, yo

but i approve of your choices.

i wrote britta/jeff fic. i swear i was thinking about you the whole time

[vergoldung.livejournal.com]

I AM SO OFFENDED THAT YOU POSTED WITHOUT INFORMING ME. DO I NEED TO GO BACK TO TRACKING YOUR ACCOUNT OR WHAT.


IN OTHER NEWS MARGERY IS ALSO MY GOT PICK HAHAHA
not that the other ladies dont have gr10 wigs too, BUT!!!! margery's heart shaped swoop basically impossible to recreate without hairspray and/or heat tools, making it the unattainable got hair, thus she wins.

ALISHHAAAAAAAAAAAA :') you know how i feel

20/20 on your serena sex hair spam, muchly appreciated (but still lmfao that you had to swallow that pill and even went so far as to make it official, i'm so proud of u)


what i'm really interested in though is an alex!hair picspam WHEN CAN WE LOOK FORWARD TO A COMPILATION OF THOSE??? maybe you could do a colour evolution thing? alternatively i would also accept your voldemort curls versus natural glory spam.

[upupa-epops.livejournal.com]

Dude, natural curls are A CURSE. A curse, I tell you. Satan rejoices when curls.

...so obviously you'd like them.

P.S. Being me, I crave your approval.

LUCREZIA'S HAIR IS GOD. And I don't even watch the show, but I do have eyes.

I would only object at Margaery, but mostly because I know it's fake hair and it feels like cheating. I only like the hair porn when it's the actual actor/actress' hair. I'm old fashoned that way. I also see that you really like curly hair and being the girl who looked like an actual doll because of curls in her 20/22 I've always been attracted to straight hair. Like wanting what you can't have. Except not because now my hair is straight? How does that work??

Anyway, HAIR. <3 <3 <3

Amy Pond's hair forever, girl

I'd agree with Laura actually, both the dopplegangers would make my list. But I'm biased, I prefer straight hair.

And then the entire thing would be rounded off by the ladies from LotR and their spectacular hair in the films.

[silverusagi]

My question is: what is the natural state of the doppelganger? Straight or curly? Or horribly frizzy in between? Because one or both of them must be doing major daily hair care, because they both can't roll out of bed with opposite hair.

My current favorite for unattainable fabulous hair is Freddie Lounds from Hannibal.

[verdant_fire]

Katherine's hair is truly a thing of beauty. Her Bad Girl Curls were nefarious perfection. <3

[penny-lane-42.livejournal.com]

EXCELLENT CHOICES. You have good taste I approve.

Buffy Summers circa season five

YES.

Inara Serra's glossy black tresses (most similar in colour to yours truly!!!!)

I am sighing over your hair now!

I could not agree more about Katherine >>>>>>> Elena hair-wise.

(I am trying to actually pop in on lj for those of you who I love who still post here. We'll see how I do.)
