Re: Platform Standards

I really wouldn't quibble about #7, if it just said: All women wear their hair up. At least that accomplishes uniformity. But to make it for the purpose of hiding cut hair just seems wrong to me.

Almost like it's a little filter for those who DO CURRENTLY cut their hair, e.g., "Attention: Hide your cut hair! Thanks, the Management."

I think that is what a lot of women do already. They curl the bottom so nobody knows

But, that's usually not "short" hair just trimmed hair.

And, if your hair is truly short, and not just trimmed, how can you make it appear uncut?

One of the ladies in our district lost all her hair due to breast cancer one year, and when it came time for Youth Congress, she had just about an inch or less--did she plop on a wig? Nope. She spiked her very short hair and off she went. And kudos to her for not playing a stupid game.

Sadly, she was looked at as a first-time visitor or recently saved.

I spiked my hair when it started growing in too. The only thing I didn't like was the worldly folks thinking I was a lesbian! LOL!

Really, the only people ever fooled are the men. Women can spot cut or trimmed hair a mile away. Curled or not.

Same goes for even the smallest amount of makeup.

Well, women, and Lee Stoneking, apparently.
