Feeling like Oprah
October 13, 2006
My roommates and I have been getting a few large packages in the mail lately containing marketing freebies from various companies hoping to gain the patronage of sorority girls.
I imagine that they picture us rejoicing upon receiving hair products! and tampons! (because that’s all a girl needs, right?) and then excitedly grabbing heaping armfuls and skipping joyously and maniacally to campus, throwing the items about and screaming, “Omigod! My hair is, like, all silky and straight! Thank you, God, for these, like, totally blessed products!”
The merchandise even has cheesy little phrases that, I guess, are supposed to correspond to…our lives. For example, have dry hair? Grab the pink packet and giggle as you read, “My hair is split like me and my high school boyfriend!”
“My frizz is bigger than my credit card bill!”
“The waves in my hair are more stubborn than the zipper on my skinny jeans!”
“My hair falls flatter than frat boys’ pick-up lines!”
Burn.

Are you kidding about those phrases? I can’t tell, I’d hope a company wouldn’t be that stupid and offensive, but I have my doubts. Especially when they’re trying to be hip.

Oh I’m serious.

Hey Rachel! How are you? I cannot believe that those phrases are actually real. I had initially thought that they were made up by you..until I read the comments left by you and Jackie.
