Wtf is a polar vortex?

So... it's cold in H-town (home of the playaz n pimps) and I don't appreciate it at all. All these sick people with the flu coming into CVS gettin their germs on me. Luckily I've been able to dodge it and this is what I felt like:


 

AND






Why does this matter?

Winter fashion and grooming is quite different from regular fashion and grooming. You can't just hop up outta bed and turn your swag on. There's more of a process. This is the ideal time to grow out your facial hair guys (and gals...jk). 

My Tips for full beards: 

1. If you haven't been following, pluck your eyebrows 
2. keep the full beard clean (no overdoing the scruff on the neck, don't let it hang over your lips and stuff). 
3. Don't have uneven lengths in your beard, this ain't no girls layered haircut. Trim it to get a uniform length throughout your beard.
4. If you have a white hair in there, pluck it. This doesnt mean you're old either, I know young people with white hair in it.
5. If your beard grows with blank patches, consider NOT growing a full beard (sorry brah).

Examples:


NOOOOOOO

 YES


HAIR: I don't believe in longer hair (for guys, unless it's really long) keeping you warm. So whatever style you're feelin, go for it. 

FEMALES...




YEAH.... I WENT THERE..

The stories you've heard are true. Your long leg hairs rubbing against your sweatpants are a fire hazard. I've heard a lot of my homegirls say "Oh it's winter, now I don't gotta wax my legs".

Oh, you think you cute with your legs lookin like this?


WRONG. 


What if the love of your life is about to put leg bangles on you?

Yes, the odds of that happening are high.

I can hear the uproar now, I'm ready for your bullets...

This was my foray into female grooming tips.... Let's see if I get beat up before I continue.

SCARVES...



I've been chastised a lot for wearing scarves. I'm sorry, but I have to keep my neck warm to keep from getting sick. Did I do it to be obnoxious sometimes? Of course, but how else does one start fashion trends? 

Some thoughts on scarves (I'm in a numerical list mood)

1. Make sure your scarf isn't short. If it's short that's not a scarf that's a handkerchief.
2. Yes your scarf's color is supposed to blend with your clothes. Consider it like a necktie, you're not gonna wear a yellow scarf with a brown shirt (shut up, hipster). 
3. Master at least one type of knot, rolling it in a circle around your neck is not a knot.
4. Scarves aren't just for girls or overly feminine.

Miscallaneous notes (list form again of course):

1.Stay safe out there my friends. Don't get your flu shots though...it's too late, sorry. It's not a miracle shot.
2. Oh yeah, Merry Christmas and Happy New year!
3. polar vortex (also known as a polar cyclonepolar lowfrigid twister, or a circumpolar whirl is a persistent, large-scale cyclone located near either of a planet's geographical poles (from wikipedia)
