Holiday Time Woes

Well, clearly Vavoom and I have been on a little break since the holidays are here, too much is going on, and frankly, while I have had a lot to talk about, I haven't found the time until tonight. Which means great news for y'all!

Anywho, lately I have made the mistake in sharing my inner deep thoughts about how my do is not doing justice to my face. Is this true? I am not sure, but its starting to feel that way. During a conversation, I stated how there is not much I can really do considering I have a pretty short haircut already as far as style goes. Then I knew what was coming next....the suggestion of the infamous stacked bob. The conversation went a little something like this:

Me: "ugh my hair is boring me, I feel like it doesn't go well with the shape of my face..."

Other: "you know what hairdo I love that my coworker got..." (hand starts to raise towards the back of the hair)

Me: cutting off other "oh no, not that do"

Other: "where its all chopped up in the back really high and then swoops down towards the front"

Me: "I hate that do so much I cannot deal"

Other: "really? I love it"

This do I feel represents when bad hairstylists want to give the bob a "Modern Edge" as they might call it.

"Let's do something crazy, lets cut insane layers so it looks like a big butt sticking out from the back of your head"

Ahhh the quintessential hairdo for a suburban stylist.

For those of you that still have no clue of what I am talking about, feast your eyes on this:



Enough said...

It is no secret that I love Gossip Girl. My teen years weren't even close to what their's is, and if maybe I took some pride in my appearance and dressed like a female instead of Kurt Cobain's younger sister, maybe my life would have been slightly different. But let's be honest. The men in my class were not very attractive and I just added to the plain old bunch nicely. Plus smoking weed and drinking alcohol really helped me get through it and eventually blossom into the 29 year old dream I am now.

But enough about me. Let's get back to the matter at hand. Gossip Girl.

My two favorite characters are Blair Waldorf and Chuck Bass.

First up Blair. Blair is perfect from her head down to her toes. Her hair always looks amazing AND she wears a lot of headbands just like I like (and try to do, but not nearly as good as her). Here she is looking like her fine ass self.



Next up Chuck Bass. I was not sold on Chuck Bass at first because I felt like when he first appeared on the show, his hair was just a tad too styled and well frankly his nose bothered me. But since then, his attitude on the show has sucked me in, and his hair is a little more relaxed, but still looking good. I found this photo that he looks pretty darn good. He also gets extra points for being British AND singing in a band that actually doesn't suck like I thought it would. So feast your eyes on this.



Is it any wonder that these two want each other on the show? Obviously not. Here's one last tribute to these beauty queens...if only I was Blair....now where the funk is my Chuck Bass damnit!

Oh Hi AOL, try to not steal our ideas

So this morning, I went to check my email - and what do I find, AOL has a little news posting about craziest do's in sports. Um, they actually used the term "Do", and now I see it has been changed to "Hair". Which is a smart move on their part considering, that not many people refer to hair as "do". I tried to do a print screen on my mac, but alas it wasn't working, so I will just have to paste the link.

Fine I guess we aren't the only people in the world to report on crazy hair, or good hair, or bad hair, but AOL use the term do again, and there will be trouble! (ok probably not because I really don't have the energy for that).

PS-Nick Reid's do made me LOL

Happy Thanksgiving!

If I had a wig, that looked like a turkey, would I wear it? The answer is below:



HELL YEA!

Curly Q's

I have a new favorite show called Summer Heights High. Basically this one dude plays 3 characters. While my favorite character is Ja'mie (the female), her hair isn't really worth discussing. It is a boring one lengther.

It is Jonah's character's hair. I totally didn't realize that Chris Lilley played Jonah until my friend told me. I was always wondering why he had the weirdest spiral perm do. Now it all makes sense cause it is a wig. It is a funny freakin look. Here it is:



Here are all 3 characters and you will understand why I chose Jonah.



Actually, Mr. G has a wispy bang and that is never a good look....

Sunday music jam

I am feeling lazy, so here is another youtube video regarding hair. It is Pavement's Cut Your Hair starring the genius Stephen Malkmus. Enjoy.

Old People

I love the ability to google anything and you usually find what you are looking for. I googled "Old People Hair" and while there were some old people coming up, I decided who better to discuss than the Golden Girls.

I f'n love the Golden Girls. When I picture my future, it is never with a man, but with my bff's living in a house, pretending we are still hot enough to date and still making fun of each other as much as we do now.

Another thing I think about when I get old, is what will I look like. Will I automatically chop off all my hair and put curlers in, will I try to keep it long in hopes that people will still think I am 50 instead of 60+? I do not really know. I would like silver hair or pure white hair, I think. I saw this old woman once in a salon. She had a side swoop bob and it was pure grey and it was awesome. Along with these huge black rimmed glasses.

I am just hoping that I will look that awesome as a senior citizen, if not I would be more than honored to resemble one of these fine ladies....
