Althouse: "People know what long hair looks like. So if you have to do it, you have to do it right. You have to individually animate each one."

I don't know how anyone does long hair, in real life, either. I've tried and I still don't know how they do it...; 5/20/10, 10:10 AM

Unknown said...: ah -- the politics of hair !

i couldnt find the you tube clip, but I thought whoopi goldberg's early standup on 'long luxurious blond hair' captures this political/sociological point brilliantly.

i dont know if i could price the extent to which viewers will further fall in love with/idolize Fiona with long flowing hair... but I dont really doubt that they are right.; 5/20/10, 1:04 PM

Lots and lots of detangler, and showers before bed (so that the wet hair doesn't weigh itself down).

I'm just not a short-hair kind of person.; 5/21/10, 1:32 PM
