Dear "Hairburner",
Well Danny, we knew it would happen. Got my hair cut. I am now back to "normal", sporting sharply-shorn locks. I may be kidding myself, but I think I look younger with cropped hair. With my hair growing, I started to see a bonafide hag staring menacingly from the mirror -- you know the type, randomly curling hair sticking out here and there in all the wrong places, absolutely no style whatsoever....even the grey looked depressingly greyer. I imagined it actually looking yellow! Fear gripped me and I rushed to the local "chop shop", about which you warned me, and had it cut.
I feel so much better. Out have come the HUGE earrings, the short skirts, the high heels and voila, I am back to being me. I mean, how can I hit the pool every day and deal with long hair?
Emmylou Harris, you're on your own.

My Lord you make me laugh!
ReplyDeleteRock out your short cut and own it!
Like I said earlier, even Emmylou Harris doesn't wake up looking like Emmylou Harris!
No, none of us wakes up looking like "ourselves". If I have to venture into the public thoroughfare, I spend quality time with Estee Lauder, Lauren Hutton and other miracle workers -- my very best friends.
ReplyDeleteOne morning, as I peered into the looking glass at the troll who stared back, I said to B, "Imagine being a man and this is the best you're going to look all day."
Yikes on toast!
Well, I haven't given up on growing out my hair a bit. My aim, is to visit a stylist who will create a new style for me, from my longer locks. I like my hairstylist, but for 15 years, she has cut my hair the same way (my request), and I'm afraid we are stuck in the mold. I want curls this time.
ReplyDeleteGo to Danny at Enigma on Wellington St. He is fabulous!
DeleteYou haven't aged a day since my 50th Birthday Party and I have pictures to prove it and that my dear girl was 20yrs ago.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteYou know who I am so I'm not signing my name.
