…but first art, damn it:

[As with the previous post, another hat tip to Janet Reid. What can I say? When the woman's on a roll, she's on a roll.]

    I kept wondering what in the name of whatever, Pantene had to do with any of that? It was a really great commercial though. Thanks for it.

    Being into hair, I noticed the shiny hair thing right away, but the music and achievement connection was brilliant.

    I’m with Cynth, but—even as I wondered—it got me all misty-eyed.

    I love love love beyond words seeing other sign languages (“foreign” sign language) in action.

    I’d love to do something great and have great hair at the same time. So true.

    For the record, I myself didn’t get the hair connection right away. But I was so caught up in the “storyline” and soundtrack that I quickly forgot the question. Only when she started doing the slow-mo fling-her-lustrous-locks thing did it make sense.

    Jules: Loving any sign language “beyond words” is a beautiful notion.

    Just out of curiosity — I don’t know if you’re still reading this thread — is there a universal sign language, which maybe depends on universal meanings rather than their language-specific expressions?

    marta: I think that recaptcha might take the prize as the best and subtlest recaptcha ever encountered on a writer’s blog.
