I stopped by the Occupy DC camp on Friday....this girl (?) accurately represents the crowd I saw at ODC.

Bostonian123,

Most of the photos I have seen of OWS protesters look like main street folks. You singled out one photo, one person, isn't that a little one sided? Do you know for sure this woman is out of work? Maybe she is a business owner who employees people with her fashion sense.

I think you have been watching too much Fox news.

The article identifies her as an unemployed cosmetologist... which I assume is what she identified herself as... and I seriously doubt she would ever employee people in her lifetime...

That girl has extremely "plain" features. I think she's doing herself a favor by detracting from her natural appearance.

Want a job? Then get rid of the stupid pink hair and nose rings and put on a suit.

I noticed you picked the one picture that fit into your spin and ignored all of the other pictures of "normal looking" people in that link...

And here I thought she was a "he". Oops.

Your customers care.

Will you be offering her a job?

If she looks like that and thinks it's a good look I would not believe she's any expert on beauty and hair styles. Not too many people would pay good money to come out looking like that.

Did you bother to read the link Bostonian posted? She self identifies as an unemployed cosmetologist. I think you have been watching too much PMSNBC.

She dresses like Madonna in Desperately Seeking Susan. Not a popular look.
