Bobs and short haircuts for women made their debut in the 1920s and were greeted with raised eyebrows and allegations of scandal. Since then, bobs and short haircuts for women have become permanent fashion fixtures and are here to stay. Bobs and short haircuts can be quite easy to manage and can look appropriate for any occasion, depending on how they are shaped and styled.

The classic bob was a blunt cut that made the hair the same length as the ears all around (except the front, of course) with a hint of curl formed by old-fashioned curlers. Today, there are as many bobs and short haircuts as there are types of women who wear them, and the famous bob has evolved to fit almost every fashion requirement.

Styling bobs and short haircuts can be quite simple, since there is less hair to work with. However, trying an unfamiliar style also has its challenges, and sometimes patience and trial and error are required before creating the perfect look.

· For a classic, blunt bob, make the hair straight all around, and ask the stylist for bangs. Using gel, comb your wet hair straight as you blow dry. Spray it well.

· For a Pageboy bob: Use a wide-barrelled curler and curl the back of your hair and bangs under. Wait for the curls to cool, and brush gently, encouraging the large curls, with a large, round brush. Spray well.

· For a flip bob: If you like the mostly straight bob with a little flip in or out at end, use a flat iron to make most of your hair straight, and make your hair flip in or flip out at the ends by twisting inch wide sections around the flat iron.

· Kinky bob: If you do not have naturally curly hair, create curls using wacky curlers or by using a narrow-barrelled curling iron. Leave the curlers in your hair for at least a half and hour and blow your hair dry, or, using a curler, wind your hair around the iron in one-inch wide sections. Use a pick to arrange your curls and spray well.

· Layered Bob: If your hair is layered, and you would like a soft, natural looking bob, rinse out your conditioner well and work mousse through your wet hair. Dry well, using your fingers to style your hair and twist some strands of hair for extra wave.

· Super glossy bob: This look is great for formal events. Use shampoo and conditioner specially designed to bring out the sheen in your hair. Sculpt wet hair with gel and brush straight. Blow dry on a low setting, and finish with a hair spray that will make your hair very shiny.

· Super short bob: Paris Hilton sported this bob shortly before getting her hair sheared. This bob requires very little maintenance. The hair should be cropped close to the face. Use a little mousse to give the hair a bit of volume. You needn’t worry about making the bob very curly or very straight, since this is a natural looking hairdo. Simply use mousse, coax your hair into the desired style with a brush as you blow it dry.

· Emo bob: Although emo’s claim to ignore fashion, the bob has hit even the emo crowd. Cut your hair into a blunt cut with scissors. Don’t worry if the ends are not exactly even. Dye your hair black and add red or frosted highlights if you wish.

Bobs and short haircuts can create a very “sweet” look. A short haircut that has as much sass and elegance as a bob is the “pixie” look. This hairstyle is great if you have an oval face and want soft bangs that emphasize your eyes. The back is cut in the shape of a wedge, and more hair is left at the top. The bangs can be curled under or combed straight. A little curl is quite feminine and brings out the eyes.

Music touches you on every part of your emotion. It appeals to every nature of your being. It knows how to elicit feelings of anger, pain, sadness, anguish, love, joy, peace and courage. It does not matter whether it is an emo, blues, indie or alternative song, they all can have the same effect.

When you hear about a love song, you will most likely think of the emotion and feelings between two lovers. Yet when it comes to music, you will be surprised that there is more to the love song that the outward expression of romantic or amorous gestures. The blues, music videos, emo or alternative songs might be more than what you are thinking. Listen carefully and you might hear the following.

A love song is a call for you to care for your loved one. Well, this is not just the person you share almost everything with. It is the stranger walking outside your picket fence, the girl trying out the dress in the mall, the teenager skating in the park or the elderly crossing the road. The blues, indie or alternative song is calling you to take action. It appeals to you to get more concerned about other people.

Love songs tell us to care for everyone and everything in a positive way. This is not only people, but pets and animals in our care, the environment and everything else in our possession. How better would you feel if you were to practice caring in addition to listening to the beautiful indie or emo melodies?

It is a good way of making you feel fulfilled. By looking outwards away from yourself, you feel needed. You get a sense of purpose. When you take a hot bowl of soup to the elderly lady living by herself, it makes you feel better. The emo, blues and alternative songs gently ask us to do what is within our reach. It does not have to be extravagant. However little, if it’s positive then it is good.

The lovely tunes about love tell us a story about courage. They talk about everyday bravely. They give you the heart to wake up in every morning and do what makes you appreciate life. Whether it is sipping on your hot cup of cappuccino or smiling at that dude in the office. That is what a love song does; it is a call to life. Your blues, indie, alternative or folk songs invigorate you to get out there and live life courageously.

Great music that makes up love songs urge you not to bow down to fear, negativity, or the hardships that are swept in your path from time to time. Your collection of indie or alternative love songs energizes you to go through these hurdles courageously. They sing for you when you fall. They prod you to get up and dust yourself. They cheer you on when you are making it in your own little world. That is what a love is.

YAEV = yet another emo video! this one’s a bit different; I love emo, and i know this song is anti, but i think it’s so hilarious, i just HAD to make a video with it. enjoy! To EVERYONE: When doing this movie, I searched for images with the keyword “emo”, thus all boys or girls in this movie have some (whether real or not) connection with them. So please don’t rant about that you’re boyfriend is in this movie and that he’s not emo, I don’t care – he shouldn’t had put up a picture of himself …
