The scrunchie: Timeless accessory or an ugly piece hair of
decor?

About two weeks ago, I was watching Lost and I could’ve sworn that Kate was wearing a scrunchie in a pivotal scene. Then again, what scenes in Lost aren’t pivotal? I swear, if I miss even one second of that show, I have no idea what is going on – but I digress.

I, being the avid Twitterer I am, tweeted this:


DinoRay:  Was Kate wearing a scrunchie on LOST last night?


Like every person twitterholic, I have my Twitter account linked to my Facebook status. I didn’t expect a response to this Tweet because my tweets are usually asinine and sound like random discourse from a hyperactive lab monkey with ADHD. But my friend Candace immediately commented on my scrunchie post with this rant:



Candace: You know, what's with scrunchie hating? They're useful. I don't get it. They don't tear your hair as much as other things, and they're good for working out. WEARING SCRUNCHIES IS NOT A CRIME! POWER TO THE SCRUNCHIE!


This got me thinking – do scrunchies get a bad rep? Or do they make a ponytail look like it is being held together by a tasty French pastry?

The name alone sounds like a salty snack item or even a flatulence-induced facial expression – but is Candace right? Should we just leave the scrunchie alone and move on with our lives? Or should we just continue this crucial debate until the end of time?

I wonder if Angelina wears one when she washes her face.
