Her heart, I guess. I hope they are bringing her to my local hospital, but don't actually know. Argh, turn on your phone, mom!!

Jesse, do your thing. Keep accessible by phone--but go get your mani pedi and keep trying to call your mother. Interrupt it in the middle if you need to, rather than cancel outright if you don't know anything.

Hec--I need examples of women with buzzcut Sigourney/Salvail/Natalie Portman after V hair. Gimme your files, pictures 500px and bigger.

What ita said, Jesse. Sitting around brooding and wondering at home isn't going to get anything accomplished.

Salvail

Who's that?

I just saw a picture of someone else with a shaved head, and it took me a minute to figure out who it was. And now, of course, I can't remember. I thought it was Natalie Portman, but it wasn't. Shoot.

Okay. Gimme a little time to cull and make sure I've got high enough resolution for you and I'll send you a dropbox link to a zip file or some such.

Is this for your personal reference or is Provocateuse branching out to address my needs?

Provocateuse isn't specifying, Hec--I just want to make sure my hairstyle is better represented among the women. I just bumped the Eve Salvail page up to 14 pics (she's one of my longest time girlcrushes--her absence made no sense at all--but luckily it seems someone uploaded a bunch of her pics a month or so ago). Thank you!

Amy, she's a French Canadian model from back when supermodel was a proper thing. She not only wore a buzzcut, she was also the original (fine, whatevs) girl with a dragon tattoo--on her scalp. Rad: [link]

She is the only female supermodel I've seen in person, and she was precisely that ridiculously gorgeous walking up St. Laurent with her buds.

What's fair game for this?

Just celebs and models? Public figures? Nothing I've culled elsehwere? (Flickr etc.)

Construction has finally begun on the long-planned townhouses in the 2.5-acre wilderness plot behind my house. At least, I assume it has, due to the presence of a busy and noisy bulldozer among the young trees.

Pros: Townhouses will probably increase property values of this little neighborhood. The road that will have to built through them will provide a second access road to my house. Increased property values might eventually result in fewer police visits to the adjoining apartment complex.

Cons: No more pleasant wooded area. Displaced wildlife (possums, raccoons, feral/stray cats, skunks, deer) looking for new homes, and eventually less wildlife (yes, more humans/less wildlife is a "con" in my book). Eventually more neighbors/noise. Construction noise for at least a few months.

Of course I've known since I bought the house that this construction would happen, so the bulldozer is not a horrible surprise, but my feeling are mixed. I'll probably be living here long enough to see how it affects me, and if I don't like it, I can always move. The more I fix this place up, though, the less happy I am about the idea of leaving.

So I guess my grandmother is feeling better (they are doing tests), AND the salon was able to rebook the pedi, so I just got the manicure (saving $$) and it is fabulous. Still, my poor mom -- she really needed the break today.

Yes--only public figures, Hec. And if for any random reason you have pictures of anyone you know I know (like Leslie Hope), I'm probably not going to post them, because I have permission issues, and it's kind of a thing.

That's why I'm checking.
