Jessica Sims (Photo courtesy of Twitter)Related PostsA black, female sailor has been honorably discharged from the Navy after officials claim she failed to obey an order to cut off her natural hair. Hospital Corpsman 2nd Class (SW/AW) Jessica Sims has been a member of the Navy for 12 years but was released on Friday for refusing to cut her dreadlocks. Sims has worn her hair in dreadlocks, pulled back into a tight, neat bun, since 2005. However, according to the , officials said her hairstyle went against lawful orders and that her bun was too bulky to be worn with a gas mask.

The past <a href=http://www.avanttravel.com/page.php?sale=Glitter-Christian-Louboutin>Glitter Christian Louboutin</a>  couple weeks, not knowing what the Navy was going to do, if they were going to move forward with the discharge or keep me in, had me in a little limbo, Sims told the . In the back of my head, I knew that they weren t going to change, so it was more of just waiting for the date.

Sims <a href=http://www.avanttravel.com/page.php?sale=Tory-Burch-Flipflops>Tory Burch Flip Flops Sale</a> says she was ordered to cut her hair or wear a wig, but she defended her natural hairstyle, saying she believed it did not interfere with work regulations or activities.

I don t think I should be told that I have to straighten my hair in order to be within what they think the regulations are, and I don t think I should have to cover it up with a wig, she said.
To me, my natural hair is professional, she聽. It s all how you keep yourself up. I could just have a regular bun and not take care of that, and it could look unprofessional.

Sims discharge from the Navy follows an announcement made by <a href=http://www.avanttravel.com/page.php?sale=Tory-Burch-Brown-Reva-Flats>Tory Burch Bags On Sale</a> the Department of Defense claiming it was reviewing natural hairstyles such as dreadlocks, cornrows and twisted braids to be more acceptable among minority women in the military. However, for Sims, their review did not rule in her favor.

I am happy that I took the stand that I did. I still stand by it. I would do it again if I had to, she said.聽 I won t be the last one standing up fighting for this issue.

-Pets have always been our best friends.As kids, who else would love us after we drew on the walls with our mother鈥檚 Chanel lipstick? And as adults, who else would love us after we spend the grocery money on Chanel ballet flats?How we spoil our pets! We walk them. <a href=http://www.avanttravel.com/michaelkorssonline.php> michael kors sale</a>  We kiss them. We even let them hog the bed, leaving us with insomnia and hairy sheets.Celebrity pooches have the good life we can only dream of. Trust us, Martha Stewart鈥檚 chow chows eat better than we do and off of better china. And Queen Elizabeth鈥檚 corgis probably have a lady-in-waiting to floss their teeth.If only Paris Hilton would carry us around in a Louis Vuitton case like she does her Chihuahua.We don鈥檛 want to be dogmatic, but stop what you鈥檙e doing to listen to the QuirkOut ways women pamper their pets.鈥楾IL DEATH DO US BARKPlanning a Beverly Hills wedding for your daughter is a big deal.Shanna Olson found this out when her Isabella got engaged to Little Joe 鈥?both pomeranians. No, they didn鈥檛 meet on match.mutt. Their human 鈥渕oms鈥?both belong to the Southern California Pomeranian Rescue group.More than 200 guests watched Isabella in a wedding dress (white, of course) and her five bridesmaid pooches in pink tulle tutus. This is too-too much for us, but the five groomsdogs found them enchanting.Sadly, the honeymoon was cut short when the pups fought over a toy elephant. Sounds like they each had a lot of emotional baggage 鈥?stored in the trunk.The wedding forced Shanna to face a little QuirkOut jealously. 鈥淚 found the perfect man for my dog but can鈥檛 find anyone for myself.鈥?Shanna, we feel your pain, but take heart. Sometimes the perfect man actually turns out to be a dog. (shannaolson.com/shanna-and-her-dogs.html)OM MY GOODNESSGinger leaves her poodle, Dexter, at home all day long while she works, so she felt guilty heading to the gym at five o鈥檆lock. The QuirkOut solution was a double date to 鈥淒oga,鈥?yoga for dogs. (No, we couldn鈥檛 make this up.)The exercises are designed for you and your pooch to do together, but it鈥檚 hard to imagine getting into downward facing dog while facing a dog that鈥檚 facing downward. Makes us want to sing, 鈥淗ow Much is that Doggie in the Mirror.鈥滿ostly the canines are in the sleeping pose, bewildered while watching their masters in all those crazy contortions. As described on the Internet: 鈥淵ou will massage, stretch and <a href=http://www.alportico.net/prodotti/christianlouboutin-sale.jkmsw.php>Christian Louboutin Online</a>  meditate together.鈥?Well, meditation is supposed to clear the mind, but how do you get dogs to stop thinking about double cheeseburgers with a side <a href=http://www.avanttravel.com/michaelkorssonline.php> michael kors bags</a>  of Greenies?Thank goodness there鈥檚 not a squirrel pose or our mutts would be chasing us around the mats. While Doga may not bring out your pet鈥檚 inner doggy, it definitely gives new meaning to the phrase 鈥測oga pants.鈥漈RIP ADVISERMore of us are traveling with our pets, including Delores and her partner, Louise. So their QuirkOut travel plans start by finding hotels with VIP (Very Important Pet) amenities.At Trump International Hotel in Chicago, there are luxurious doggy beds in the room that are fit for a king, even though Fido will end up on your king-sized bed. The Muse Hotel in New York City offers in-room mani-pedis for couples: that鈥檚 a manicure for you and a pedicure for your furry friend鈥檚 four paws.The room service menu at the Four Seasons in Washington, D.C., includes 鈥淒oggies Delight鈥?featuring 鈥淏est Friend鈥檚 Breakfast鈥?(scrambled eggs and steamed rice) or the 鈥淢ighty Mutt Diet鈥?(lean ground beef with steamed rice).The price tag for these dog days can cost more than $75 extra per night, which means that while Delores and Louise鈥檚 pet eats high on the hog, they鈥檒l just have to settle for hot dogs.
