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.

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.)

THANK YOU FOR VALIDATING MY VERY IMPORTANT HAIR FEELS. Especially on the Katherine v.s. Elena debate of our time.

I am sighing over your hair now!

Don't. Inara's >>>>

(JSYK, I hear there's an option to track people's journals, which does the job for you, if you really feel obliged.)

[penny-lane-42.livejournal.com]

I always forget about the tracking option! I'm going to do it--it's not that I feel obliged, it's that I genuinely miss like you and Jessica and people who are still active here!
