Today a good friend of mine brought up the subject of the scrunchie, and the fact that she used to make them. OMG, ME TOO.
That, and I seriously loved scrunchies. The odd, complex thing about it, though, was I didn't like the way my hair looked up in them. But I liked them. I liked the fancy beautiful hair decorations. It just didn't work when I tried to wear them. Quite a conundrum.
Anyhow. The scrunchie is now out. As in, out of style. It is so officially out of style, it was even mentioned as being out on Sex and the City years ago (when her toolish ex-boyfriend Jack Berger who was so much hotter as Peter Gibbons foolishly states that a New York woman might wear one and Carrie immediately corrects it).
Will the scrunchie come back? Will it be revived? Can it come back from the aforementioned PR disaster? (If so, then what about banana clips?) Are there closet scrunchie enthusiasts out there? Is it a secret cult classic (like, say, "My So-Called Life")? Who coined the term 'scrunchie'? When was the last time, you, reader, saw someone wearing one?

I never wore scrunchies because I never had long hair when I was younger. I always wanted to, but alas, when my hair was finally long enough to wear a scrunchie, they were out of style.
Scrunchies don't work that well for those of us with springy hair either. There is too much fabric and not enough hold.
Scrunchies are still alive and well. Just go into your local Wal-Mart. You'll see tons!
So while I admired the scrunchies,and I liked how they looked (especially on Full House!) I never really LOVED them.
I never actually wore the scrunchie, but for some reason always had one on my wrist? Loved them!
