I inherited
straight hair--no bending, no curving, and thick.
For the past few
months I’ve been in recovery from an encounter
with a perky, young beautician
fresh out of beauty school—
who left me
looking something like this.
A three month
grow-out left me looking like this.
Not too long ago
my granddaughter had her mom give her a perm.
Then her hair
looked like this.
The last time I
had a perm, most people’s hair looked like this.
I guess that puts me on the
slippery side of over the hill.
So I’ll blame senility
for finding myself looking in the mirror at this the other day.
A self-inflicted
perm. As in permanent.
After a haircut
I looked like this.
The blow dryer
didn’t help.
Neither did gel.
I told my daughter I was considering another haircut.
Maybe I’d have it chopped
down to about two inches.
Then with some
piercings I could look like this.
My daughter said
I should spike it and color it purple.
With a little
leather and a studded collar I could look like this!
Perhaps a hat
could hide the disaster.
How about the
rustic geezer look?
Other people
wear strange hats and look just fine.
I understand
there was a rush to own a copy of this hat.
Maybe my new ‘do
will help me be a better artist.
Or not.
(SIGH)

You know.....as you get older and your hair thins you'll be willing to accept ANY of those 'do's' if it meant you had lots of hair again lol.
I have no doubt that you are adept at painting happy little clouds.
Oh, Lordie! I'm having bad haircut flashbacks, Leenie! (Thankfully not much photographic evidence to support them!)
Well you make me laugh and I don't even look in the mirror most times to see if I even have hair. Maybe I am an artist or crazy:) Have a nice weekend. Oh yeah just though maybe just lazy:) B
Thanks for the laughs! Love the cat hat especially. Btw, after your comment on my post about clipping cows...I just about couldn't stop laughing! :)
LOL! Now that is funny! I'd want to look like anyone but The Donald!
OH, dear. I have insanely thick hair too. It never, ever looks really good. It did look good in the 80's when BIG hair was in and I had it permed but that is just not a great look for me now. It would be great if I could always wear a hat.
Oh dear! I hope you stop having your extended bad hair day soon. I had two home perms in the eighties, at the same time as having hair in various shades of colour due to bad dyeing-I was compared to Joey Ramone at one point!
Oh my goodness! So funny! I especially love the last one----at least you'll be happy whilst you paint. :)
I'm going to the hairdressers on Thursday - now I'm nervous! It's many years since I last had a perm - I have embraced my straightness!!
Cute post!

Hahaha!! I hope it grows out soon but I am sure it doesn't look at all as bad as you think. Anyway, I decided post-45 = a bob (of sorts) - just beyond the bottom of my earlobes, and post-60 I'll wear it short.
Catching up on some great posts here Leenie. Thanks for the laughs.
I wanted to try a new hairstyle...my hairdresser daughter asked me in a horrified voice....are you sure you have enough hair for that! I got the message...way to thin hair now that I'm moving into the middle of the 60's.

Oh, thank you! I was just considering a permanent so I could do something with the ridiculous short hair cut I have. Now I think I'll just patiently wait for it to grow out. You saved me.
Glad I could help.
