Actress Tallulah Bankhead wins $5,000 from Proctor & Gamble after charging that a jingle about "Tallulah, the tube of Prell shampoo" damaged her career. |

I. should I take prell with me to mexico? “Once upon a time Prell shampoo had plastic holders that could be used to hang the tube of shampoo upside-down from a towel rack or shower curtain rod. The lid could be flipped open and a valve in the cap kept it from running out until it was squeezed. I've got a couple of these and re-fill the tubes with new Prell shampoo and Pert shampoo. This would be a nice 'after market' item for someone to manufacture. I use Prell because it seems do a good job of washing the salt water out of my hair, Pert has it's own conditioner and so it saves one container.” II. does prell demonstrate rayleigh-taylor instability? “2C40.90 Rayleigh-Taylor instability in Prell AJP 53(5),484 A air bubble rising in a tube of Prell shampoo demonstrates Rayleigh-Taylor instability. Other examples are given.” III. does nasa suggest I use prell to demonstrate basic aviation principles? “Water, like air, is a fluid, and can be used to simulate air flow -- especially lift! Materials: plastic tub or aluminum tray (rectangular) larger the better, but any size will do foam wing and any other shapes of wood/metal/foam shampoo with fish scales or silk in it (Prell)” IV. can I use prell to treat head lice? “If using a nit removal product (for example: Clear, Step 2 or vinegar), it must be used first and remove nits. Wash hair with a cleansing shampoo (for example: Prell) that does not have conditioners, fruit, vegetables or protein added. Towel dry (until a piece of toilet paper does not stick to the hair).” V. yes, but is prell kosher enough for passover? “II. THE FOLLOWING PRODUCTS MAY BE USED FOR PESACH WITHOUT SPECIAL KOSHER FOR PESACH CERTIFICATION, except where noted otherwise. A new box, can or jar should be used where an old one may have come into contact with chometz. This is a partial list only. The omission of any specific brand or product does not necessarily imply that it contains chometz. The following list refers only to U.S.-manufactured version of the products. Products manufactured in Canada, even with the same brand name, may have different formulations. Most of the medications, cosmetics and toiletries listed are not under supervision, and their listing here, based on information from the manufacturer, pertains only to their lack of chometz, not to the general kashrus of their ingredients. Many of the medications contain kitniyos, which is permissible when taken for medical purposes. […] Shampoo: Head and Shoulders, Pert, Prell” VI. prell sounds too good to be true! let me guess – it causes cancer in laboratory rats? “From: RSManna@aol.com Date: Thu, 22 Apr 1999 08:31:05 EDT Subj: Fwd: THIS IS SERIOUS ... NOT A JOKE ... READ CAREFULLY! Check the ingredients listed on your shampoo bottle, and see ifthey have a substance by the name of, Sodium Laureth Sulfate orsimply SLS. This substance is found in most shampoos, and the manufacturesuse it because it produces a lot of foam and it is cheap. BUT the fact is that SLS is used to scrub garage floors, and it is verystrong. It is also proven that it can cause cancer in the longrun, and this is no joke. I went home and checked my shampoo (Vidal Sasoon & Pert), itdoesn't contain it; however, others such as Vo5, Palmolive, PaulMitchell, Pantene Pro-v Prell, the new Hemp shampoo, etc.,contains this substance.” |
So I called one company, and I told them their product contains a substance that will cause people to have cancer. They said "Yeah, we knew about it but there is nothing we can do about it because we need that substance to produce foam. By the way Colgate toothpaste also contains the same substance to produce the bubbles. Research has shown that in the 1980s, the chance of getting cancer is 1 out of 8000 and now, in the 1990s, the chances of getting cancer is 1 out of 3, which is very serious. So I hope that you will take this seriously and pass this on to all the people you know and hopefully, we can stop ourselves the cancer virus. This is serious, after you have read this, pass it on to as many people as possible, this is not a chain letter, but it concerns our health.

And now might be a good time for a PSA about typing in ALL CAPITAL LETTERS. It used to be that people who did had a 1 in 8000 chance of getting battered by annoyed readers, but now it's closer to 1 in 3. |
don't hurt me |
Sodium Lauryl Sulfate & Sodium Laureth Sulfate (which are supposedly derived from coconut oil) are ubiquituous & nearly impossible to avoid. They're even in stuff that doesn't foam up -- like make-up.The shampoo I usually use is plain ground-up castille soap mixed w/water/or Dr. Bronner's liquid soap/which contains nothing but pure soap made from olive or coconut oils. (That's what I've been washing dishes w/since Sat.) And I only use toothpaste in the morning -- at nite/I brush w/baking soda/salt & peroxide. But I'm looking at a tube of Tom's of Maine toothpaste right now/& even it contains Sodium Lauryl Sulfate (with 'from coconut oil' immediately after). There's nothing else artificial in it/but still. I don't worry much abt environmental cancer risks from everyday products/becuz I smoke. So if I get the Big C/everyone will say it's from cigarettes. But when I find out abt any chemical agent that's used for industrial purposes/I usually try to cross it off my list. I tried that years ago w/SLS -- but it's everywhere! I'm more concerened w/pesticide usage in crops/BGH & all the antibiotiocs they're pumping into cattle & chickens. And the genetically- -engineered veggies that don't have to be labeled as such. Like that new corn crop that gives off pollen that kills Monarch butterflies. Those are the things that really scare me. But how are we supposed to wash our clothes & our hair & clean our homes & brush our teeth w/out SLS? Unless you switch to a purely organic product like Dr. Bronner's (which I wdn't want to brush my teeth with)/what else is out there that's safe & effective? (And Dr. Bronner's doesn't do shit for carpet stains.) But you're right -- my can of carpet cleaner has SLS in it too. Years ago/what did they used to put in toothpaste & shampoo to make it lather/before SLS? |

Butthair is almost as gross as back hair! |
|
S'prolly a hetero thing. As a woman/I prefer men who are smoothies from the neck down. With maybe a little chest hair & leg hair. But if I were a big hairy guy who was gay/I think hairy men wdn't bother me. What is that con y'all have -- "The Bears" or something? Where all these Grizzly Adams-type gays get together in the woods somewhere? |

Oddly enough, however, I have never been to one. This weekend is Pride Weekend in D.C. though, so who knows what I might encounter. |

J, I draw the line at nose hair too. That's just plain gross. |
