STAYC -- Yoon

With the release of STAYC -- I Want It, we get to see a bangless* Yoon.

I've seen posts treating this hairstyle as an occasion for rejoicing - "Yoon's forehead free at last!" - but I'm not so sure, as I believe in the beauty of bangs.**

However, I am aware that more than personal preferences might be at work here, so I am beginning to look at the semiotics of bangs.***

* "fringe free"
** " the fairness of fringes"
*** "the meanings of fringes"

It’s a style of #politics that has been honed by the party’s young, #extremist #fringes for years. With #Trump’s blessing [& participation]… this faction is emerging as one of the most #influential forces in the party.

- Be as #wise as serpent/servants
- Leap without #lurking
- Men are #recumbent/redundant
