Wedding Hair Au Naturale

All right, so I nixed the buying of the fake and I chose another hairdo and Christina worked some magic with my short layers and below is the planned wedding hairdo...

The Do's and Don'ts of the Bachelorette Party!

Do talk all of your friends into dressing like pirate hookers...


Don't wear a penis headband with a veil...


Don't wear a candy necklace and sash with a veil...


Do sing at the top of your lungs while dancing, dressed as a pirate hooker....




Please future brides, take these words of advice:  Never would you accessorize with a phallus or phalluses.  And, marriage or the anticipation of it doesn't justify doing it now.  But, what it does justify is dressing like a pirate hooker, especially when your birthday and International Talk Like a Pirate Day was the day before!

Hair Travesty

Well, I thought I'd let you all know that I had my first crazy bride moment. I almost cried at my hair trial appointment...

Let me fill you in. So, my hair dresser of about three years left town a few month ago, so I was forced to find someone else to give me trims. I've been growing my hair out for over a year now in preparation for one day - the wedding day. Normally, I would have chopped it by now, but no, I've diligently grown it out. So, anyway, I found a hairdresser nearby that I got haircuts from. The first time I went to her, I explained why I was growing my hair out and what my wedding hairdo was. I told her that I didn't want her cutting layers in my hair in case it might put my dream do in jeopardy. She assured me that she could put in some layers and it would be fine.

I then decided to use Cheetah Shoes' hairdresser, Christina, downtown to do my hair for the wedding. I drove downtown on Friday to do my test hairdo. I showed Christina my pictures of the hairdo and she began working on my hair. She hadn't gotten too far when she gave me the bad news - that I had too many short layers in my hair to do what I wanted. I asked her if we could do anything similar, but everything she tried, my layers were too short. At that point, I was biting my lip and holding back the tears. I finally said "I'm just so mad because I told the other hairdresser what I was doing and she said I could still do it if she cut the layers."

Poor Christina was on egg shells and she called over other hair dressers to discuss. They decided that the only thing to do was to go and buy fake hair to make the hair knot out of and then if we couldn't find fake hair to match, we'd just dye my hair to match the fake hair. So, that is where we stand in my ongoing hair saga. Stay tuned to see if Naomi, Cheetah Shoes, and Christina can find matching fake hair, or if our heroine must dye her currently faded reddish dyed hair to match the fake hair they do find...
