This morning while checking my Twitter feed I came across an article on Essence.com written by Candice Benbow about Tessica Brown, infamously known as the "Gorilla Glue girl". The ignominious title was given to Miss Brown after she posted a video showing off her immovable hair caused by using Gorilla Glue instead of her usual styling glue to hold it in place. Gorilla Glue? Yes, Gorilla Glue, that powerful adhesive used for crafts and DIY projects. The product clearly states on the front of the bottle: "Bonds: Wood, Metal, Fabric, Foam, Plastic, Paper, Glass, Leather and More!" and on the back a caution label warns not to ingest the glue or get it in the eyes or on skin or clothing.
After reading the label it would be clear to a reasonable person the product isn't the type of adhesive one should use in their hair. For this reason many who are familiar with the story have made the whole situation meme worthy making Miss Brown the butt of many jokes. Some insulting her or questioning her level of intelligence, while others result to cracking jokes. Some people surmise that this whole ordeal was orchestrated by her as an elaborate clout chasing scheme and others empathize with her and this is where we shift our focus to the Essence article.
