Drew Gilpin Faust's Hair and The Rapture
May. 19th, 2008 02:16 pm1.
For the record, I note here that Drew Gilpin Faust, who was on telly this morning, still has her drenched Lesbian/Uncle Tom haircut.
But it's blonde now. This, I think, is a step in the right direction.
As I noted in the Power Chicks gallery of women who take up space, in illustration of what I hated most about DGF's appearance/hair, the wussy grey nun haircut of the female president of Michigan state also disappeared after a year or so in power. Mary Sue Coleman went blonde too. Her haircut also improved.
I note she and Gilpin Faust both wear the highend Armani version of what the girls around the corner at SAIS wear -- a black pantsuit with a t shirt.
Dude is blonde now.

Good if exeedingly uncomfortable book, From Counterculture to Cyberculture: Stewart Brand, the Whole Earth Network, and the Rise of Digital Utopianism. Fred Turner writes about how computering since WW2 has relied on disembodying, for mathematical/engineering/probability/predictive (and other) reasons, the human mind. Making it a machine. And points out how the rhetoric of Brand and his icky pranksters has always delectated on the idea of disembodiment. He links it to atomic/cold war fears -- linking the latter apotheosis of the puter to the former on the atomic thread -- and I am waiting for him to utter the words I'm thinking: the Internet is the post-atomic raptus.
