I chanted ancient prayers and read from the scrolls of the Torah. The bat mitzvah is a nerve-wracking occasion, especially when it comes to the Jewish Hair.
What the critics are saying...
Usually one goes to a salon. Usually it takes a team of professionals to tame her monster. All different kinds of up-dos and crazy hair-sprayed experiments can be seen on this special day. The Jewish Hair has two styles: You may use certain styling products, but be careful not to use too much, or you will make your hair crunchy. The Jewish Hair gets ripped off at fashion shows. Tall, slender figures parade under big frizzy balls of teased and sprayed extensions as if in costume. The models can try our look on for however long it takes to walk down the runway, without having to experience the true wonders and trials of actually living with the Jewish Hair.
It has been known to resemble a hairy animal. But, when flipped in a certain way, the Jewish Hair can, believe it or not, be attractive.
It can actually aid in making a person look pretty and draw in the opposite sex. The Jewish Hair makes the boys who they are and the girls who they would never want to be.
A Jewish girl spends hours at a time in front of her bathroom mirror, shaking and twisting, twirling and pulling. A Jewish boy, however, rolls out of bed in the morning, glances into a mirror, and heads off to school. His giant hair adds to his personality. He is witty and cute, original and friendly. Copyright c Amy Goldwasser A family gathering at House L in Hialeah, Florida—at least twenty loud, festive Cubans and a drum set consisting of pots and pans—can be quite the scene for any normal person to endure. I often skip family dinners like this.
She urged me to play with the blue-eyed children, whose parents all knew each other, but they stared at me from the laps of their pinch-nosed mothers. I simply bowed my head and continued to pick at my melting cherry snow cone. They made me feel ashamed to be different, something I thought I could never overcome.
Red Teenage Girls in America Write on What Fires Up Their Lives Today
Yes, we call it that, even though we live in Florida. In Red , fifty-eight girls? Francine Prose essays about everything from politics to pop culture; from post-Katrina New Orleans to Johnny Depp; from the loneliness of losing a best friend to the loathing or pride they feel about their bodies. The authors of Red are brave and honest documentarians of their own lives. These girls are the best shades of red not pink: These collected essays, at last, offer a key to understanding the inscrutable teenage girl-one of the most mislabeled and underestimated members of society, argues editor and writer Amy Goldwasser, whose work has appeared in Seventeen , Vogue , The New York Times , and The New Yorker.
And while psychologists and other experts have tried to explain the teen girl in recent years, no book since Ophelia Speaks has given her the opportunity to speak for herself-until now. In this eye-opening collection, nearly sixty teenage girls from across the country speak out, writing about everything from post-Katrina New Orleans to Johnny Depp; from learning to rock climb to starting a rock band; from the loneliness of losing a best friend to the loathing or pride they feel about their bodies. Ranging in age from 13 to 19, and hailing from Park Avenue to rural Nevada, Georgia to Hawaii, the girls in RED-whose essays were selected from more than contributions-represent a diverse spectrum of socioeconomic, political, racial, and religious backgrounds, creating a rich portrait of life as a teen girl in America today.
