OK, Not Even Close

Deborah N0rville's Hair (and body)

My Hair

Yeah, not even close. But that's not Kami's fault, it's my fault for not knowing how to use a round brush and a blow dryer in the same hand, so my other hand can hold the Diet Coke.
But I like it. So it's all good.

Oh, yeah, and the first person who comments on the gray hairs goes off my "favorite blogger friends" list for 24 hours. But feel free to jump in and say nice things!

(And thanks for playing along the other day!)

** This has turned into the ever-evolving post. Come back and see as I take suggestions and add them to the bottom of the post. **

When I started this post I thought it would be hilarious to put my face into celebrities' hairstyles and then publish the pictures side by side.
Can you believe that in practice that was not knee-slapping hilarious? It was more like incredibly pathetic. I need way more airbrushing than I can afford.

But still ...
I AM looking for a new hairstyle.

This is my " I spent all morning straightening my hair and then went tubing all day" look.


It's a complicated styling regimen. And I'm pretty much thinking I need to cut down on the time it takes - save time for blogging and whatnot.


THAT IS NOT A WART ON MY NOSE. I don't know what it is, but it is NOT A WART. Or a booger, either. But hey, now I can see how I'd look with a nose stud. Maybe a little diamondy one....
Moving on...

This is what I look like with a little Reese Witherspoon pixie cut. I don't think I'll ever get a Reese Witherspoon pixie cut.


#2
You know, I've always thought Oprah does a really good job keeping her look current. She's gracefully trendy. And who wouldn't be with a wheelbarrow full of cash to spend on it, right?
Sheesh, you'd think she could afford a neck job, though, right? Oh wait, maybe that's me.




#3
I don't really know who Lisa Rhinna is, but I really liked her hair.




#4
Ok, Deborah Norville's hair looks way better on her than it does on me. But you get the idea. I like the flippyness.




#5
This is Dana Delaney's hair. I put it in purely for The Brain, who is a fan of longer hair with sort of a big sexy look.




#6
I can't remember who's hair this is. I started to put it in as a joke, but now I don't think it's super hideous...


And hey, if you have more hair you think I should try, shoot me a picture. Let's check it out!

It's a hands-on opinion poll today, people. So come out of the woodwork and tell me what you think. Unless what you think is not very nice, and then you should maybe stay in the woodwork where you belong.



I also thought the Teri Hatcher one was pretty funny!


Yes, my hair is thick and curly. And I'm still in denial about what color it is - -Or at least what direction it's taking.

I find Sarah Jessica Parker and Side-show-Bob equally scary.

Compliment Trifecta

I have a love/hate relationship with my hair. It's naturally curly, and there's lots of it. Which sounds like it should be a good thing. But the thing is, I always wanted to have silky straight long hair, that would blow in the breeze like the models in a 70's shampoo commercial.
So, I've pretty much always pretended that I had straight or straightish hair. This involves a lot of electrical appliances, let me tell ya.

A couple of years ago, my hair Wizard, Kami talked me into a curly hair thing. She did it by pulling out this fabulous photo of local sportscaster Susie Wargin and her perfect, curly hair, and telling me that my hair would definitely, absolutely do this:

And when Kami cuts and styles it, IT DOES THAT!!
But for some reason, I can NOT make it happen that way. It ends up looking frizzy and just wavy, instead of hanging in those darling not-frizzy ringlets.

So I have been straightening it again. With a straightening iron this time. You know, just to get even on that darn hair.

This morning, I saw Susie on TV and while I was lamenting her perfect curls, The Brain said,

"You know, I LOVE it when you let your hair go curly."
"really?" I asked. " I don't know - - It just seems frizzy and fat."
"Nope." he said. "It makes you look really young.
and sexy. ..
and thin."

And there it was... the compliment Trifecta.
Guess how I'm wearing my hair today?
