THE GOOD: I learned how to curl soft waves in my hair.
THE BAD: I nearly burnt my fingers off in the process.
THE REALLY GOOD? Since January, I thought I had broken one of my Nikon cameras. It’s been sitting in the corner, sad and listless, because I was in denial that eventually I’d have to [...]

First Friday Self-Portrait
You need to pick yo afro, Daddy, cuz it’s flat on one side…
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 [...]
Blonde Moment.
From Hair on the Brain:
“There’s a growing body of research showing that people with red hair need larger doses of anesthesia and often are resistant to local pain blockers like Novocaine. As a result, redheads tend to be particularly nervous about dental procedures and are twice as likely to avoid going to the dentist as [...]
More from Memory Lane…
… Or Embarrassment Boulevard. (Depends on which direction you’re coming from.)
This was me circa 5th grade, with my dog, Samson.
My hair is naturally straight, but I was set on getting a perm. When my hairdresser asked me what kind of curls I wanted, I said I wanted to look like Mariah Carey, a la [...]
Will Blog for Friendship
Bess is mad at me because I haven’t been blogging. I’m mad at myself. Hey, remember when I said I was going to write everyday bloggity bloggity Carrie Bradshaw?

That’s Love.

I need you to remind me [even when look like this!]

For real, this time.
Hand me bobby pins.
Buy me headbands.

Pining for the moon…
**taps fingers idly on keyboard and stares blankly at screen**
What to discuss..what to discuss…
Oh. Ha. I got my hair cut at a new place in town called — wait for it — Beaux Tangles. Go and support local business, ladies and fellas. By “go” I mean 11th and Rogers and by “support” I mean only [...]
This Post Contains Your Daily Dose of Vanity!
My God-given, natural hair color.
Who would’ve thought.
I haven’t had my hair professionally colored in over six months. That’s nothing! You say! But this is coming from a girl who has thrown thousands of dollars over the past decade into having her tresses dyed every combination of shades in between bleach blonde (Barbie!) to red (Hussy!) to dark brown (Goth!).
