My mom told me that a short haircut combined with my round physique would make me look like a pinhead. (And she wasn't even a Ramones fan.) Eventually I got a chic, sassy, short bob, and tons of complements. So naturally mom denied ever suggesting such a possibility as pinhead-dom.
How's it sit? Pretty cunning, don'tchya think?

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

"Pernicious feminist" seems just about right. Thanks!
You're quite welcome.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
For a lot of women I see on WNTW, long hair seems to equate with "youth." They think cutting it will consign them to matronliness or something. Silly Ladies, don't you know that Nick Arrojo AKA Mr. AWESOME IRISH GENIUS CUTIEHEAD will use his magic skills to make you look amazing?

Just call me "Siouxsie Shunshine".
Part of the WNTW concept is to make a drastic change, too. If they came all that way and didn't get a good hair cut, the whole premise would fail and Clinton and Stacy would be out of jobs.
Nick tries to convince them to do what would look best on them. It is true, though, that if they are strongly committed to keeping their hair he will keep it below the shoulder and chop off all the ratty garbage. I think there was 1 time, though, that she would not let him cut her hair, not even a trim. He wasn't happy but he did it. (that hair would have looked so much better if she had trimmed even 4-5 inches)

Now I'm reminded of that woman from The Real Housewives of Orange County on Shear Genius whose hair looked so awful and refused to let her person (on Shear Genius no less) cut anything.

In non-hair news - remember me being freaked about friending some old high-school friends? My ex-best friend just friended me. She was my Maid of Honor and then dropped me as a friend like a hot potato about 12 years ago. Through mutual friends I've had updates on her life, but I've stayed away (who wants to get burned twice). We will see what happens - I have the aloe ready.

I blame all the shampoo commercials where they've got these women flinging their long, glossy manes back and forth. The short-haired women always strike me as some sort of "sporty" token.

I need to be packing to go to Tallahassee tomorrow.
This is much more fun.

Now tagless for your comfort.
Drew, my deepest sympathies to you and your family. I feel awful for you guys but I am so glad that your father did not suffer for an extended period of time.
{{{Drew & Kristin}}}
and since I forgot to respond before {{{Connie}}} I am also sorry for your loss. I'm glad you could make the travel and I hope the funeral isn't a huge family drama for you.
