Daily affirmations of a word mercenary
Hey, cool! Look, it’s the Salon of Shame in comic form!
Ok, so it’s not actually the Salon of Shame, but the artist links to the Salon after the comic, so I’m willing to say it might as well be about the Salon of Shame. Regardless, this comic is an excellent commentary on the whole phenomenon. There’s definitely a little bittersweetness to the Salon. Yeah, adolescence sucked and was ridiculous, but remember when you felt things that intensely? When you had that kind of conviction? Granted, it might have been ill-informed and naive, but there’s no denying that for better or worse, teens feel pretty intensely.

Wow, my hair’s much longer in this comic. And I’m wearing a dress!
