is it bananas to spend $170 on a hairbrush?
what if it's made of boar bristles? still bananas, huh?

here's my thing, if you tell me it's worth it and i need it...more than likely, i'll get it. this brush has won many awards and has been around for longer than i have, and yes, it's price tag is $170 and up...now there are cheaper options, but i've tried that, i've gone the l'oreal cheap and unsatisfying route, upgraded to the sephora look a like, which i have to admit, am satisfied with, but at the end of the day, is it the real thing? nah..it's like a rockin' knock off, great for the moment, until someone asks if it's real, then do you lie? meh, sometimes, but often, i just push right past the question avoiding the, "um no, followed some guy off of canal street, into a back room, feared for my life, then met his wife and kids, handed him a $20 and scat out of there"...but why get the knock off when you can save your pennies and get the real thing? 

while i have been making pledges to boy daily, "i will not buy a pair of shoes until september!" "i will cook more dinners!" "i will work out more!" i may as well add this one to the list..."i will not spend $170 on a hair brush...yet. instead i will save! then donate to a good cause, because i feel badly for spending $170 on a brush, then save again, then buy shoes..." oh the woes the hairbrush brings to mind!!

if you are out there, and own a REAL DEAL mason pearson brush, is it really worth it? is it true i will have it for the rest of my life? then pass on to my daughters for them to have for their lives?
