Everybody looks so amazing. When did they have time to shop for these friggin’ summer outfits? Seriously! Ugh. Can you tell I’m feeling poopy-pants today? It’s harder to camouflage low self esteem in this heat! In the winter, I’d head straight for my baggy black turtleneck sweater. What can I wear with this mood now? Chunky sandals? A vintage Robert Smith T-shirt? Crap, I’m crabby! I miss my little sister. I’m craving the Midwest and the burger bangs of summer. *Must plan a trip home—if only to remind myself that I’ve still got it.
For the uninitiated, burger bangs are something I miss the hell out of as they remain largely a regional phenomenon. My sister and I bonded over the feeling of hair superiority they gave us— which is why we’d while away a summer day playing, “I spy a burger bang.”
*The burger bang is comprised of three tight curls at the forehead (one under two back). Occasionally, the curls are picked out and feathered, but more often left untouched—so that each curl holds the exact shape of the iron that birthed it.
1. Tight curl under = bun
2. Tight curl going back = meat
3. Second tight curl going back = bun
End result=delicious!
