thankful thursday: backcombers, UNITE!


i am thankful this week for:
my peeps over at the coolest allen family blog for relaying the following SUPERDUPER IMPORTANT information that strangely draws me towards it while it's also frightening me in it's sad, sick & twisted way~

remember all of the "backcombing" controversy we had in confession booth TRES?

well, FEAR NO MORE, yeeeewwtaaaaahhh ladies (and in some cases, lads.) i give you:



please to watch:






who's with me on this one? i think we could start a great bumpits wave that would cover the entire state of the promised land--perhaps we could make it a mandatory item on the temple recommend interview? or at least if you want to be promoted up from boy scouts or nursery....

ARE WE IN? LADIES? LADDIES?

WHO'S WITH ME?

I am so out of the loop, I didn't know that look was back in fashion. But then again I live on an island far from Utah.

By the way, what is the BYU hairdo people were talking about? I went there in the early 90's when the spiral perms were in. I haven't had one since.

That is the coolest thing I've seen in forever!!

I'm going to order some of these to use right after I get my hair highlighted with lots of blonde. Right before I stop by the tanning salon!

(Well, I guess it's time to fess up about the original backcombing comment. No hating, big backcombing blondes, OK?)

I am gonna pass.

I really could have used one of these in high school for my bangs....my flat too heavy hair would never get "big" enough.

alex dumas said...

I will pass too, please. My favorite bumps (to mock) are the ones on either side of the head, making the wearer look like the Warner Brothers Gossamer monster. (If you don't know who I mean, do a Google image search.)

You can Bump a Pony or Rock a Bob?!

Sold!!

Seriously...I kind want one.

Who knew...Bumpits! :)

MiaKatia said...

Ummm I think I will just stay in nursery... I don't even thin k I could figure out how to use that thing since I just mastered the blow dryer.

Bumpits for your bangs! I just about fell on the floor at that one. I can't decide if this commercial is for real or if it's a parody. PlEASE tell me it's a parody! Cause I was laughing through the whole thing, especially the HOllywood bumpit section. Oh man. I can't stop laughing!

Vanessa The Scientist said...

What the crap! This post just rocked my world. People actually mean to have that bump? It wasn't just an accident because they didn't have a tiny handheld mirror to use to check the back of their hair before they set foot out of the bathroom? Whoa! I feel like an idiot.

Melissa said...

As a resident of Utah, this is a MUST! I am so in! Especially, since I have no idea how to back comb. Seriously. You mock, but it's true.

Renee said...

Ugh.

Tiffany said...

You have no idea how much I want one.

sandyseashells said...

I want one.

Ida said...

Well I rock a bump oh yes I do I don't need that thingamajig.

Misty said...

I love it!

Jana said...

That is hilarious. Those would sell like hotcakes in Utah.
Every time I come back to Utah to visit, I see girls with that hair style and I just don't understand the huge rats nest on the back of your head with one tiny layer of hair combed over the top.
And I am pretty sure you are not allowed to do this hair style unless you have at least 4 to 5 colors weaved through your hair also.
