I was watching the Project Runway premiere with Katie when we saw one of the models trotting down the catwalk with a big red curly ‘fro. “I wish I could have my hair like that for the fashion show.”

From my lips to God’s ears.  To Beau’s ears. Because that’s what he had in mind.

We started off coloring my hair a darker shade of auburn before two women tag-teamed my tresses with perm rods.

(There’s a squirrel noise that goes with this.)

Then it was time spent in and out of dryers until they took the rods out, which looked like this. I look so gross here…

Now, spray spray spray, pick pick pick, pull pull pull.

I should mention by this time I had ingested some liquid courage. Not my fault the venue was next to the liquor store. I’m sure Heidi Klum would have done the same thing.

I might as well have photoshopped hearts in this one. Bloop, bloop, bloop! Right around my head.

BOOM. Worked it.
