back to nature

The past few months have been quite a trial for me, involving unfamiliar sights, often feeling out of place in the world, and just general disconcertion. I am speaking, of course, about my hair.

My whole life I have been blond. In the beginning, it was easy:





Every morning I would wake up, and I would be blond. Eventually, though, being blond started to involve more and more time, effort, and cold hard cash. But as the above photos clearly illustrate, I am a NATURAL BLOND and it is thus my god given right to remain so by any means necessary. A few months ago, however, after an Unfortunate Salon Incident, I ended up conceding to having my hair colored something other than blond for the first time in my life. It was not an easy transition. I no longer had more fun. I suddenly understood string theory and started getting jokes. Life felt out of balance.

Until today. Today I went to see Lindsay at Acme salon on Sutter St. Thank you, Gina and Erika, for telling me about this genius. I am me again!



And I also have a cute new polka dot dress. And possibly also a new dress from Boden. Um, have I mentioned that it is possible to access the Internet from India, and that I own a credit card?



New clothes, old hair...ahhh. It's good to be back.
