Suggestions?
Because I now know that so many awesome people (Ratchet, Jennie, some Xavier folks, and a handful of M*Inernys) read this thing, I have a question. I know most of you are dudes and the girls who read this will just tell me I look fine (except my mother, who will tell me to lose 15 pounds before I think about my hair), but I gotta ask:
What should I do with my hair?
No seriously. Right now it's long and scraggly and this in-between shade of blondishness. Plus, I got these dumb bangs.
.
Two words--SHAVE IT. j/k. I think you should put some blond hilights back in it. As for cut--dunno. maybe a shorter 'bob'? hey, at least you know i'm thinking!
I actually like the current shade. I know it's probably "boring" to you, but that's how I like my women. Otherwise, I guess it's time to go blonder, right, since you tried darker last time?
As for the cut, my Y chromosome prevents me from having any concept of what hairstyles look good. That's why I have the hair I do.
you should do like the lady the in the diet coke commercial: get high on diet coke fumes, go into a hispanic barber shop and request the butchest man cut you see. it worked for her and now she is hap-hap-happy. and no longer thirsty (for a bit).
Man, I went to Fantastic Sam's last night...The one in Norwood...I look kind of like some kind of bowling champion...crap...don't go to Fantastic Sam's.
good gawd almighty. The sunnis and shites are blowing each other up and you're worried about your hair? moveon.org. worry about the important things, like life and what to eat.
OH BURN! Nora, your mom totally Cindy Sheehan'd you.
When you come home, try to get an appointment with Amy at Maude Salon (www.maudeonquincy.com) -- she'll do you up right. She's doing my mama's hair this afternoon.
Everyone who knows me or has seen me knows I'm quite the hair authority ... yeah, sarcasm just DOESN'T work online. Anyway, my advice is shorter-is-better. I totally agree with Tony--that girl in the diet coke ad is HOT. With your bone structure & ready-for-flight body, I'd hunt up some pictures of Mary Martin as Peter Pan and head to the salon. Now that I've googled that, I think almost any girl-playing-Pan haircut is for you. Who knew Cathy Rigby could have good hair? Yup, Peter Pan it is. Short, accentuates the cheek bones, a little hair goo for body. Yeeeeeeeeah. Oh, and wear green.
Who the hell let Beatrix use the computer?
Man, she has some sexy photos on her Myspace...
I am the WORST person on earth to ask for hair advice. I lost the ability to do my hair sometime after perms and tall bangs went out in 1992. OK, so they went out much earlier but I grew up in Cold Spring where the style lingered.
Dye it red!
So first of all you don't like Lileks, and think he's a tool. You'll have to explain that one to me.
Now, you saw that wimpy guy on a train. I always thought if I ever met him I'd hit him in the face and tell him to be a man. But hearing about your moment, I thought: what would I have done? I'd have approached him and said "I think you're really great" or something to that effect.
And about the hair...just wait about three weeks. That always seems to work for me after my quaterannual weed-wacker-job-called hair-cut.
Also dye it all freaky dark red.
I think the hair is great as is (in fact I'm sporting bangs myself right now), but Xavier H. was looking over my shoulder at your pictures and without even being asked he says that you should lose the bangs. X is the only person in my family I can turn to for legit. fashion advice, so I would defer to the expert. If there are any shoes you are unsure about I am sure he would be willing to offer an opinion on those as well.
I live at 64745 Commonwealth in Seattle. Been up here before?
