It's time for a haircut.
I got it cut about three months ago, just before the funeral. But three months is a long time for my hair. Because, frankly, I have a lot of hair.
Or, do I?
What I've noticed recently is that I seem to be shedding pretty copiously. I'm seeing some scalp. I looked it up, and apparently, severe stress can cause you to lose hair. It'll come back, once the stress ends.
((Crickets))
So, anyway. I was at the Farmers Market on Sunday, and I saw this woman with a great haircut, and she seemed to have hair similar to mine in terms of texture, curl, etc. So I stopped her and asked who does her hair. I got the name of the stylist, but didn't get the hair owner's name. But I called the stylist, and tomorrow, 6PM, I'm getting a haircut. She said she herself has curly hair and has experience with a range of textures and types.
So naturally, I went on Pinterest to see if I could find a few pictures for inspiration:
Which is all well and good, but it's important to remember that what we're starting with is:
Full disclosure - I took this selfie for my girlfriend Connie, whose son had been invited to a Fairies and Gnomes party. I believe this was my attempt at Troll Face. Naaaaaaaaiiiiiiled it!
Connie offered to use the pic on the front of the kid's birthday card. The inside would read "Your Mom's a Whore". Connie and I share contempt for kids theme parties that put the onus on the attendee. Which is to say, the attendee's parents.
Look, what I'm trying to say is, I'm not a celebrity. My hair is thinner than I'm used to, it's too long, and I also need to lose some (a lot of) weight, I'm not saying a celebrity hairstyle is going fix anything, but it might help me feel a little less overwhelmed.
I'll post pics. Unless it's a disaster.
Sincerely,
Not Vanessa Hudgens*
*I'm not even sure who she is or why she's a celebrity**. Who's tragically un-hip now?
**Ah, OK she was in High School Musical. Great. So I want my hair to look like a Disney star's.
How's this look for a summer, windblown, beachy 'do?

Last time I got my hair cut, I showed my sytlist a picture of Cate Blanchett and said, "Can you make me look like that?" And she replied (and I am not making this up), "Oh, honey, I didn't bring my wand today." Fair enough. But she did nail the hair. :)
