The sweet Thai girl threw my soap out. I found it sitting in the bin. In the bathroom all meticulously clean and scrubbed. It was good soap too, indeed, it was used soap, but still good, natural and organic, herbal or something like that.

I think Thai girls like to use everything new. I of course don’t blame a Thai girl for wanting to be perfectly scrubbed meticulously clean after they get truckloads of TV advertisements pushing this stuff…

All those 20 commercials one after the other about whitening creams and white skin stuff and perfect teeth - you get the picture right? I think this Thai girl (the one in my house) likes things in tubes. Squeeze it out of the tube and it’s ok. That way you don’t need to put your hands on it, right. I rescued my soap.

She also washed my hair. I gave in and said yes because I love the touch of her hands on me. But I don’t really like the super enriching chemical crapola in the shampoo. Hey it looks like the same stuff as in the advertisements… you know, shiny hair blowing in the breeze etc etc

And maybe you won’t like me to say this but… I got a problem with super conditioned chemical shampoo-ed hair. What I mean is that if I’m with a girl and she’s been bathing her hair with these type of shampoos I find her hair when it rubs on my skin or face to be irritating.

It’s like dry static electricity. Sharp little nutrient devoid hair cells. Poor little things. I know… it’s crazy. But believe me, it’s true. Her hair irritates me. I really notice it, I know it’s the chemicals in the shampoo.

And she’s normal… I’m the abnormal one. But give me herbal, healthy products any day. Please.

Footnote: it’s just me observing what I see and speaking how I feel. It’s not to say it’s right or wrong. It’s just the way I see it, at this time and place. And yes, the photo has nothing to do with my rant…
