Thoughts and feelings

It's almost the end of the year and I just turned 34 a couple of weeks ago. I must say so far it is the best year ever. I mentally got rid of some baggage, I turned on the positive vibes, and stuff has been happening. I've wasted enough of my years on man boys, bad thoughts, and just general blah-ness. A boy just recently sent me a Pee-Wee Herman video to express his feelings towards me. Need I say more? I don't. In any case, it's got me thinking about my own do and what to do next. My heart of hearts wants to go platinum blonde and chop it off. I just have not been able to do it. I did play dress up and wear a wig and it felt right, almost too right. I want to look like I just stepped out of another era and wish that was my job to just play dress up. How do I transfer my inner self to corporate life? I don't know. I do it, but kind of just want to be a little wilder, but I guess I am getting old, and I'd rather look hot than not. I spent many of my early years experimenting with my look…short hair, knee highs, ill-fitting vintage clothing (you get the drift and you may have been there)and I wasn't getting many dates from those years. Where am I going with this? Well below is an example of how I see my glamorous self. My rant and rave is all for showing myself in a wig with all items that I currently own and loving it.

Tuff Turf

So Vavoom introduced me to the one movie I have not seen in the 80s. A little known fun fact about me..I really thought I had seen every movie ever created in the 80s. Turns out I missed one and it is called Tuff Turf. Synopsis - James Spader moves from CT to the rough streets of LA. There he meets Frankie who is the girl in this bad ass gang. So basically he falls in love with the girl from the other side of the tracks AKA every plot of most 80s movies I have seen. Robert Downey jr., is also in it playing a drummer in the band/dance sequence that always follows in these movies. Anyway, it's so bad and so good, but more importantly Frankie's hair is out of control. It's past her rear and crimped with a bubble bang AND a forehead headband. If I could conjure up my 80s fantasy do, this might be it. Another fun fact, I only got my hair awesome in my mid-late 20s. It took a while. Anyway, feast your eyes on below and let it sink in.

Hair chronicles....Where have I been?

There has been so much to say, so little time, so many questions, with no real answers. What brought me back? I am not sure. Maybe a need to discuss hair, feelings, and some more hair. But mostly I think it might have been this special lady I saw on the train. I normally don't try to take pictures of people, but I was so fascinated by this woman's hair piece. If you cannot tell from this photo, it is a yarn-knit headband followed by an abundance of feathers. Beautiful red/pink neon feathers. I didn't know what to make of it when I saw her. I just knew I had to capture this for the one day I was going to update this blog. Today is that day. If you do not know this already, I tend to think about what I am going to look like as a senior citizen. I think about it quite often. Sometimes I see things I want to put on, but I remind myself "no, it's too soon". I admire a woman that can go out with this much flash happening. I step out sometimes in the dullest of colors, sometimes pure drab, and I throw on some red lipstick and think I am spicing things up. Then I see this woman and know I am far from achieving amazingness. I am far from my true wanna be drag queen self. It's ok though, I have many years to start collecting and getting ready for something that is going to blow everyone's minds. Look me up in about 40 years...I am going to look magical. xoxo Queen Do Talk

Baby Bangs Not Bangin'

I remember in the early 2000s when I sported a baby bang. Not just me...but all of my friends. We were 'different' and non-regs (regular people). For the time, it was pretty common. You would be watching a band and most girls resembled a similar look. We all wore jeans and mostly black t-shirts. Maybe a few ringer t's here and there. Now when I see a baby bang on a woman that is my age, I start to question what happened. It's not so much she didn't change her hairstyle, but more like she just cut a baby bang when she had a semi-normal hairdo. Don't get me wrong...who hasn't looked at Audrey Tautou in Amelie and wanted to be her? Hell I might still want to be her. I might chop off my bangs just to fall in love with a man who works at a porn shop. It just takes a special woman to pull this off. It might not be you. That's all I am saying.

Merry Christmas, Feliz Navidad, Happy Holidays!

It has been a while. I have no real excuse. Just lack of motivation I suppose. Anyway, last night during Christmas Eve, my sister in law told me a story about my nephew. The story goes like this. They were on line at a museum and he saw a girl with white hair with pink streaks in it and decided to comment (my nephew is 3 years old). He told her "your hair is different, it is beautiful, but different. You want to be wild." She told me this story after he commented to my niece that her hair was beautiful. I should have known hair obsession runs in the family as soon as my father wrote that letter to Ellen Degeneres commenting on how he did not like her new haircut.

Anyway with that, have a Merry Christmas. See you kids in the New Year. Thanks Kim for reminding me of this:

Times Square Beauties

The great thing about working in time square is that there are so many tourists and so many do's to talk about. I was walking back from Bryant Park the other day and spotted this gem of a hairdo. There is something about older ladies and spiked hair. They love it. I don't know why, but older women love height to their hair.

This is a special haircut.

It is very Spike from Degrassi. I wonder if that was her inspiration. I must have looked insane practically speed walking to get this awesome photo. But when I see something, I do something. Like take pictures to comment about later. Ahh sweet technology.

Now this hair is obviously insane, and when I get to be her age, I would never have this look. I already have my old person haircut picked out. But if I were this lady, I'd say she's confident, sassy, but just has some bad style. That is ok. I am just happy this lady doesn't have the tight short curler do that a lot of old ladies love.

Long story short, rock it lady rock it out.

PS - for anyone that has sent me photos, I apologize for not posting. I will have to go back and pull them and post about them later. Forgive me loyal readers. And by readers, I mean my friends and family.

Beach Waves

Hi all, long time no see. Lately I have been searching for hair products to allow my natural wave to come through without it looking like I just rolled out of bed. I decided that during the summer, when it gets too hot to blow dry my hair, it would be great if I could spray something in it and let it dry naturally and look good. This has been my goal for quite some time, but I usually just end up looking like a mess. I decided to buy Sally Hershberger's Wave Spray.

I tested it out today. Well first I realized, I should not put this on my bangs, because it basically just makes my bangs look really greasy. However, I can see how this is good for my ends that are possibly dryer, to make it hang a little better and definitely not look all frizzed out.

I think I want to let my hair get a little longer and some of my layers to grow out before I really start letting my wave come through.

For thinner hair like myself, I think I need to spray a little less than I did, but for thicker hair you probably can spray this crap on as much as possible.

It also has a nice smell to it. Very summery. So I suggest this product for anyone trying to accomplish what I am trying to.

Also, sidenote, I decided to start a new blog at some point basically about the look for less. But stay tuned for that as I am still working on a name since the look for less was a tv show.

Till next time..
