[1]The other day, I heard two women having a spirited conversation about their “Brazilian.” I assumed it was some chitchat about a bikini wax, when, in fact, they were swapping stories about the latest trend in hair straightening. But you probably knew that. With my short, curly hair, I’m an anomaly in Los Angeles. I haven’t been near a brush or blow dryer for years. There are times I feel misunderstood, especially when “friends” tell me that a longer coif might increase my dating pool. But I gotta go. Haircut at 4.

Why It’s Great to Be Single on Valentines Day [3], reason #4 from Amber:
Being single THIS Valentine’s day is great, because it leaves you free to celebrate the beginning of the Chinese New Year! My roommates and I are planning a Chinese potluck for our unattached friends replete with tasty Chinese dishes, fireworks and red envelopes with chocolate money inside. So, sorry married and attached friends try not to be too jealous!
