Carl Schurz Dog Run

We spent Sunday afternoon at the Carl Schurz Small Dog Run, and returned home as evening fell with two very ecstatic – and very exhausted – puppies. Lucy was a little…let’s just say “wary” (she preferred to stick by mom’s side), but Virgil made about ten thousand new best friends, and even managed to sneak in a love affair or five.

Carl Schurz has one of the best dog runs in the city – it’s clean, safe, and populated by extremely friendly dogs and owners – but it’s too far away for you to get to, try searching for a dog run near you HERE (or go HERE for a list of the city’s best dog runs, divided by neighborhood).

    Does the Keratin treatment make hair . . . thin? Your hair looks a bit thinning in recent photos so I wondered. I was about to do it, but I'd like to keep the lushness in my hair and I'm really scared of a female-pattern-baldness look or actual condition. My hairdresser won't actually do the treatment because of its toxicity.

    I mean… are you serious?

    At the risk of starting a thread war, I have to ask: Do you not realize how rude and potentially hurtful this comment is? Not only is Jordan's hair not thinning, but did you not take a few moments to think that, if it WAS, perhaps a person would feel self-conscious about it, or that it'd be unrelated to a hair treatment? Why did you choose to ask this question in a post about a dog run? Did you consider emailing Jordan privately instead of criticizing her looks in a public forum under the guise of seeking information?

    I don't mean any of these rhetorically – Honestly, would you have posed this question to a woman face to face, offline? I just completely do not understand the impetus behind being so invasive and needlessly callous in a blog comment.

    Hi, Jordan or Kendrick. Honestly, strangers don't write these type of posts. I don't think it was so rude (what Jordan-Miss-Manners concept here), unless you are Jordan or Kendrick and taking thing manically personally. I would have of course told my friend this personally. See Lori Gottlieb's article in Marie Claire on who ones friends really are. People who just blindly praise and cheerlead their “friends” are not always real friends. People who go crazy on someone wondering about Keratin because Jordan's hair looking thin (and you can check out all her recent pics if you don't believe it; I did it because I'm considering it) are not actually “friends.”

    Nope. I'm not Jordan or Kendrick. I'm a regular commenter who didn't want to comment under a name that reflected my employer. Interesting how the first retort defensive people reach for (besides “you're just jealous!”) is “hi-person-wh0-must-be-close-to-the-person-being-rude-to.”

    This is my point: My comments to you had, ultimately, nothing to do with Jordan and everything to do with hoping that this can become at least one blog I visit where people exhibit something resembling manners or common courtesy.

    When you tell a friend “hey, your hair looks thin,” you and that person have a bond, you may feel you owe her some measure of honesty since you are close, you are likely telling her this out of concern for her well-being, and you would likely tell her one-on-one, and not out in public in front of several hundred strangers. Your example has no comparison to saying “Hey, dude, your hair looks like shit. Will mine look like that? I hope not!” Come on. You have to know better than to claim otherwise, right?

    I am going to assume that you don't know Jordan in person and, thus, are not her friend. So there's a different protocol. And I maintain that telling someone that you think her hair is thinning in a public forum is rude and not a mark of friendship in the least. If pointing this out signals me “going crazy on someone,” I guess I'm totally ok with being the cuhray bitch who still gets upset when people needlessly bash one another online.

    Thanks, double_you. I agree that this comment wasn't a genuine question and was just intended to make me feel bad, especially since over the past couple of days this commenter has posted a whole bunch of extremely rude (and false) statements that i've chosen to delete. I sent her an email explaining why I'd felt that her comments were inappropriate and requesting her support and understanding, but got no response.

    But in the spirit of giving people the benefit of the doubt, I'll go ahead and answer Anna's question anyway. My hair has always been pretty thin…and you can tell that it's thin more easily when my hair is laying flat (as it does with the treatment) than when it's poofy. It looks best when it's blown dry a little to give it some body at the roots; in the photo above, it's air-dryed (and has been subject to a few hours running around in 100-degree, steamy heat). Also, I do have a slightly thin spot at the back of my head, which I've had for years now and is the result of a localized scalp irritation (it's a weird sensitive area where the hair has never lain quite right); I am a little embarrassed about it, but it doesn't have anything to do with the Keratin.

    And Anna, while I too am in the camp that the best of friends don’t universally sing each others’ praises, I very much doubt that Ms. Gottlieb would advocate alerting a friend to her thinning hair by describing your own as comparatively fabulous, offering no suggestions for improvement, and framing the entire exchange in the context of your own needs.

  • Anna003

    Jordan, now this is some crazy: where did I say my own hair was fabulous?! Suggestions for improvemet?! I just wanted to try Keratin which my hairdresser was against but I actually trusted this site's advocacy of!! Context of my own needs?! Honey, I just had a question. You are seriously sounding mentally ill in this post. Please see a therapist. Your comment deletion is seriously a sign of something very sad in your personality, as HUNDREDS of commenters have pointed out. Stop being a baby or really leave this industry. You are the most praise-hungry human I have ever encountered.

    Reading my comment as a bash is a part of what's wrong with this site. Jordan and her followers have this surreally thin-skin of very spoiled private school only children who cannot handle anything but airkisses and applause for every move. It is simply nuts. This is not how it goes on ANY other site. Please check a few out.

  • jordanreid

    Anna, you're continuing to flood my website with insults and false accusations. Saying that someone is “shilling” suggests that they are conveying enthusiasm without disclosing compensation (financial or otherwise). Shilling is a crime, and it is not something I have ever done. If I'm being paid, I say I am. Always have. And advertising is a part of many sites, and it will continue to be a part of mine. I will not permit accusations of illegal activity on my site; I hope you can understand that.
