Case in point, also, like, why do lesbians cut their hair short and wear tees with ironic messages on them and wear Toms of Maine deodorant and eat mega hummus for breakfast, lunch and dinner? (Just kidding, I only eat it for a midnight snack, or to wax with, duh.)

Anyway, food for thought! Let this image of that Kurt or Kirk or whatever his name is from Glee guide and inspire your opinion…. He has such great hair.
