Since I was tired of wearing my hair in a bun every day, and since it's been almost 2 years since I've had one, I went and got my hair cut yesterday, into a style that stylists call an "inverted bob". Since it's short in the back and long in front, I call it a "reverse mullet".
It only took me about 50 minutes in the chair and 50,000 assurances to the stylist that, yes, I knew it was going to be very short, it's fine if she wanted to use the clippers, I've had it this short before, no, I'm not going to sue you if you chop all my hair off.
Because I had a coupon, my haircut was only $10. (I tipped an extra $5.)
Afterwards I dyed it bright red again because, hey, with coupons I can get L'Oreal Feria (the most awesome, well-conditioning brand of color out there) for five bucks.
So, hair-wise at least, I look a bit like Rihanna in the picture above. Just with blue eyes. And a lot less make-up. And melanin.
The best part? With these trendy little short styles, especially with an unnatural color, it looks like I'm putting all this thought and effort into my appearance, when actually, I just run pomade through it in the morning and then drive to work with my windows down. It's really hard for most people to tell the difference between "messily stylish" and "just messy".
I also like to pretend that my clothes aren't "things-I've-held-onto-since-middle-school" but "vintage".
Now I just need a good excuse for why my fingernails always look like crap.
