Hi, Orange Phoenix,
I was given a couple of blog awards this week, and have given you the “Kreativ Blogger” award ’cause I think your writing is fantastic. The award itself is kinda — umm — pastel, but you can see it here if you want: http://lavenderbay.wordpress.com/2008/12/08/nice-things-for-a-monday/
Just letting you know. Keep on writing!

Ms. Q,

You are priceless! I will say that I am more on lint patrol than I ever was. It is so easy to just roll out of bed and go, forgetting that you have to actually brush your hair in the morning – so you can be glamorous sans the white lint

Its a shame we women attack our hair first, as defenseless as it is, it’s begging to be controlled. . .

more to come.

Very cool! Women and hair – it’s some type of relationship, ain’t it? I had a “bowl cut” when I was a little kid, then shoulder length and a bit longer for teens through 20s with some BIG PERMS in there just for umm, chuckles. I’m Chinese to put it all into context.

Then to save money and time, I didn’t get haircuts all through college, just kept growing out my hair and cutting my own bangs, Cleopatra style. The hair was up in a bun most times but every so often I’d let it down and it went past my waist. One year before I graduated, I whacked it off to a bob (just past my chin) and what I really wanted was a SUPER SHORT cut.

Shortest I’d ever had it was a boycut and shaved halfway up. Inneresting. I had to wear a cap!

For over 10 years I’ve had short hair and thought I’d never grow it out again. This year April I again wanted to save some money so it grew out a bit and it looked okay and my hairdresser encouraged me to grow it out and I was getting all this “men like longer hair” advice and the men thing was never a big reason but I started to like the longer hair – I felt all feminine and sexy! But I’ve also thought short-short hair sexy so it’s just a new attitude.

Have fun with being bald. Sounds great! Just avoid flannel sheets. I encouraged a friend to shave his head way back when (he was going bald anyway) and he said that during the winter, if he doesn’t shave his head too often, his stubble will gather lint from his sheets and he looks like a Q-Tip. Who wudda thunk it.

I’ve witnessed these changes you’ve made over the past few months. You’ve kept us all in awe but also pleased. And that outfit you had on yesterday was doing it for a lot of us.

Just keeping on re-inventing yourself. You keep us interested, if nothing else.

I had a ‘biker phase’ back in my younger dating days, however, I never EVER wanted to cut my locks!

Great Job…..looking forward to more

MAN, you’re a good writer! My fashion look most closely resembles that of a park ranger on his day off, but I was absolutely wrapped up in your tale of a haircut!

I did the same thing four years ago. Short, #3, and spiked with blue hair gel as best as I could at the time. I loved it! Now it is grown again and much healthier.
