Hairs

I'm having a hair crisis. Every once in a while I commit to growing it out. This lasts about three days; then I get the scissors and start whacking. I guess this is why I have a wig (which I think people totally thought was real when I wore it in New York. I think.) However, my hair is long enough to sport a few bobby pins. I made these ones and want to wear them all at once. All colors ftw!

Down at Lulu's: Pink and Punk

 I got my yearly haircut/color last week. I know I'm constantly yapping about the power of home haircuts, but I like to get the real deal once or twice a year so I have good lines to follow, and also because it is such a nice, nice treat.

My official favorite salon is Down at Lulu's, right on the Berkeley/Oakland border.  Tina is a big, beautiful broad who is basically the coolest person in the world. She knows everything about bubblegum/garage/punk music and has glorious collections of vintage whatnots, but doesn't make you feel like you're any less cool for being a little bit square.

The pink exterior jazzes up an otherwise boring block of Telegraph.

Derek showed me this video when I visited Portland last summer; I was like, "Hey! Those people cut my hair!" I had no idea about the adorable band Hunx and His Punx.

Oh, and here's my hair!

Super Tangential!

Does anyone know how to nap correctly? I've come to the conclusion that napping is no longer an option for me, as I just continue to sleep. Sigh. Reminds me of the character in True Stories, "The Laziest Woman in the World." Alas, I can't find any good videos of her scenes, and honestly, the non-music parts of True Stories are kind of a slog anyway if you're not 14 years old and just learning about philosophy. (Oh shit, am I starting to sound like Chuck Klosterman? Help! Say it ain't so.)

So I found this video of Talking Heads singing "Psycho Killer" on some show called "The Old Grey Whistle Test." And I'm certainly glad I did, because LOOK AT TINA WEYMOUTH'S HAIR. It is the cutest thing I've ever seen. Someone should create a Blythe wig called "the Tina." Then I found another video, and her hair looks great in a totally different way. I suggest you spend some time researching as I did, and you will undoubtedly find that Tina Weymouth has excellent hair at all times. AAAANYWAY, enjoy.
