Oh, Cosmo. You kill me. Here’s some VERY BAD beauty advice they’re dispensing in their October issue. This little gem was sent to me courtesy of the lovely Jill (beauty editor at Glow).

Click on this link to enlarge the image. And please tell me you’ll never do this. I can’t think of anything a guy would love LESS than a gross old thong as a hair tie.

The editors must be laughing their asses off when they print this stuff, no? There really are no words.

Cosmo is all about pleasing your man while sparing your self-respect! This is just gross!

I think the Ed In Chief had a stroke that day and this missed the Subs. The paper also looks like it’s from the 70′s——-and shall we assume this isn’t a USED thong that you “whipped” out right? Jesus………talk about needing a good shampoo recommendation page to follow. Blechhhhhh.

Totally agree with Jodi, at least when it comes to this story. Seriously, what smart, self-assured woman needs to put a thong in her hair to impress some guy? And who wants a guy that would be impressed by that??

I don’t even know what to say about this – it doesn’t even make SENSE! It’s like a Twilight Zone suggestion, you know? Sheesh.

Hahaha! I love the deck. If i’m stranded in the middle of the woods, I assure you the last thing on my mind would be impressing a guy with thong-in-hair origami skills.

even the frattiest of guys can’t actually be turned on by a thong-as-hair-tie, right? RIGHT?!

Even funnier would have been if they had had this woman go out on the street and solicit guys’s opinions on the thong-as-hairtie…..I mean, how can they stand behind that headline – “Fun little tricks that guys love”?

Well at least it’s your thong and not his!
Not that I know any guys that wear thongs, obviously.
