Style?

You see many magazines and articles about style.  The adverts bombard you everywhere – what clothes to wear and what not to wear.  There are programmes about how to look good and how to make the most of your particular shape.  Others endeavour to give you a makeover so you can look 10 years younger.

But the other day I saw an article that I found amusing and puzzling.  It said ‘How to fake unkempt bedhead hair.’  It was mainly telling you just how you could achieve the ‘sexy unkempt look with minimum effort’.  I found it funny to think that anyone would really want to go out looking as though they had just got out of bed and hadn’t at least tidied their hair.  Then I was puzzled that people might even consider it looking sexy and that they would go to great efforts to achieve the said look. 

The model in the above photo actually paid a lot of money and went to great lengths to have her hair look like that!  They were trying to tell you how to do this with minimum effort.  Surely if you really want to go out looking as though you have just got out of bed without doing your hair, then the least effort of all would be – DON’T DO ANYTHING!  What effort do you need to make at all?  Hmmm.  Am I missing something?
