this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

But I definitely appreciate your Hate The Day philosophy.

It's hideous PMS combined with an almost comical series of problems with the fucking birthday lunch. The place I chose is run by asshats, it seems, and after many many miscommunications and problems, the order just now got called in.

Everyone is starving, and I think they're all blaming me (rightly so) for picking the restaurant from HELL.

Die, today, DIE!

Shit's all sorts of different now.

David, I think I'm gonna go for the pin curls/finger curls. Kinda like the last picture. Jonathan inspired me (gag gag gag) on Blow Out last night with the hair he did for the B Michael show at Fashion Week - (side note: Kimberly didn't go because she kept calling it "a fashion show". Honey, if you don't know the difference between Fashion Week and a regular fashion show, no way should you get to go. I have no class, and I know this, but Kimberly has none, either and it cracks me up.) he did Veronica Lake Today. And I loved it. That 40's glam. So, I'm totally glamming it up for B's wedding. The dress is gorgeous, the shoes I picked ROCK and dammit, I haven't felt glamorous in a really really long time so I'm doing it up, dammit.

I totally trust you to pull off old style movie star glamour.

Thrive to spite them

people need to stop standing in front of my desk and having conversations. Or multiple conversations at the same time. Yes, I'm in the reception area but still -- I have work to do and besides I don't want to hear your stupid conversation.

Also --- stop whistling. Really annoying. Stop stop stop.

PMS has hit me hard and I really want to be somewhere else. Anywhere else.

Pin curls

I totally thought pin curls were different. Like, ringlets or something.

Actualy she's still got the pins in the curls in that picture. Usually you brush them out into loose waves. A pin curl is looser than the curl you'd get with a roller.

Most old fashioned hairstyles are difficult to replicate today because women would get pin curl permanents (in the 40s and 50s) and they're not as tight as the roller perms we know (and fear) from the 80s/90s.

These are my shoes. In "mocha", though.

I totally trust you to pull off old style movie star glamour.

I can't tell you how THRILLED I am that the late 40's-early 50's thing is back in style. Circle skirts and tailored bodices, yum!!

I'm buying this dress for my great-grandmother's 100th birthday party next month. And I'm totally getting those kick ass shoes on the right!

So....ringlets are just ringlets? What about Jospehine Baker hair -- what's that called?

Really, if there were How To Be A Girl 101, I'd take it.

Circle skirts

Man, when I went to buy my perfect bra yesterday, the rest of the department store was nothing *but* circle skirts! Fun!

Finger wave, really. Though sometimes that hair is called a Marcel wave after the earliest permanent.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

She came up quite a bit when I was searching for an answer to flea's question about the Eton crop and the Shingle.
