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

Pix, yes I love my hairdresser and trust his opinion. But also he prefers pictures because I’m terrible at describing what I want. So I’ll show him the Pinterest board and tell him to do what he thinks is best.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Sounds like a good plan for haircut optimization

Always Anti-fascist!

Sometimes I'm glad that my mom speaks Hair fluently. (Although people still hear different things...I've ended up with quite a range of looks.) Pretty happy with it at this moment, though.

I found that once I stopped trying to force my hair to do something contrary to its nature (thick, strong natural wave, tending to frizz when it's humid) and got a decent haircut, life got easier. The look isn't great, but it's extremely low maintenance.

I thought your hair looked beautiful at the DC F2F, Todd. Glorious white waves swept off your face.

You looked positively regal.

Thank you for that. You realize that was *19* years ago?

I do because our 20th anniversary is coming up in the spring.

But I bet you still look regal.

Thrive to spite them

My hair is really really long--it's a couple inches from my waist. I don't think it's ever been this long and it blows my mind because it doesn't feel like I have that much hair. I have been super lazy about getting it cut and after attempts at messy buns I gave up because my hair keeps defying bobby pins.

I want to get it cut short again but I don't have a stylist. Although someone gave me a recommendation (and I really liked their short hair) so I may call and see about an appointment and just have them trim my hair and see how I like them before committing to getting it all cut off. Haven't found a lot of hair styles that I am thinking about although I'm not sure. I think I'd kind of like something with a sharp angle bob like this [link] but much shorter on the other side. Not sure if it would look good on me.

For those who might be interested, I came across Nandor the Relentless Is the Man You Wish You Were.

The artist formerly associated with cupcakes.

askye, have you tried spin pins? They're the only things that will keep my super-fine-yet-voluminous hair in a bun. My hair will eat bobby pins.
