Um, well, we listened to aggressively cheerful music sung by people chosen for their ability to dance. Then we ate cookie dough, and talked about boys.

Spike's Bitches 28: For the Safety of Puppies...and Christmas!  

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

Oh, good point. Always (or usually, anyway) decide on the side of laziness. Works for me. ::does dance of anticipating Buffista cookbooks::

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame

Cindy - about a year ago I got dumped by my hairstylist cause he had a hissy fit. I posted about it in lj, I'd have to go back to find the story. But I have compared it to a high school breakup cause it felt that stoopid.

So glad you're feeling better Anne.

I have no advice on hair, but I hope you find a hairstylist you can have a meaningful relationship with MG.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

The last really good hairstylist I had was in Evanston (at, of all places, the Hair Cuttery). I never had to tell her anything -- she was always able to intuit what my hair needed at whatever length I presented her with.

The trouble with NYC stylists is they're all so friggin' expensive. (All the under-$50 cuts I've gotten have been subpar. Not all of them have been terrible, but none have been great.) I don't mind paying $60 for a haircut if I know it's going to be good, but I'm leary of trying new places when the cost is that high.

Our wings are not tired.

Yay cookbooks! Can't wait.

Thanks so much for the MLK and Bobby Kennedy texts. 1968 was one of the most significant years of my life. At the tender age of 14 the assassinations of these men and the violence at the Democratic convention all in one year awakened my interest in the world around me in a most dramatic fashion. I can’t read the words without hearing the voices and tearing up.

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

I finally cut my hair and am bleaching it now. The headaches make both actions quite unappealing, but I looked like crap.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

MG, what did you like about your previous haircuts? I think the one you had on that picture on Deb's steps was very flattering for you.

Just as a quick exercise, look in the mirror and pull the hair on the sides tightly back off your face. Does it look better? A common problem with medium-short hair (bob length or so) is when it's getting too horizontal. It's not flattering for the face to have all that width. Since you have curly hair that could be a problem.

I know the picture of which you speak. Hey, I even have it here at work. I had much less length then. It did not feel as mop like. I might print that out for whoever I go to, though it is not much on detail, just basic shape.

Always Anti-fascist!

I have to believe, Beverly. I have to believe or I have been through a lot of crap for no good reason...and I think I have just made liberalism a splinter religion and how very sacrilicious of me. But I guess it is the role it plays in my life, for good or ill.

The status is NOT quo.

I've moved since the cookbook order went in. Any chance they can come to the new address?
