LOL Herk!! My mom works for Rogers/Sprint Canada, as something to do with Network Design computer blah blah blah... All public dealings are via phone and email. Thankfully!! LOL When I was in kindergarten, I SWEAR my mom had a Flock of Seagulls hairdo. I was mortified. I think I am more related to Mame!! I like the non-permanent, safe alterations of appearance. I used to get my nails done (gel tip french manicure) but it was too much to always maintain them. I was anal about filling them quickly, and the best place in town isn't the most convenient for me to get to, so it took up a lot of time. So I got them removed, and I am au natural now. Gel nails are GREAT for keeping long nails while working in a restaurant. Oh yeah.....this is the hair thread. My hair is boring.

Hey Herk, my hair and tattoos are pretty much tolerated at work. Like Eeyore said, I don't have any direct contact with the public or many of my co-workers either. Boy are they suprised if they ever do meet me! And Eeyore has dome some things to her hair before - she did that 'chunks' kind of streaks I think. It looked nice too - a bit daring for her, but very nice.

LOLOL! Thanks, E and Shadoe for the details! I can remember back in the sixties that my mom would stop at the hairdresser's almost every morning to get her upswept, mad-teased hair freshened up and her wiglet repositioned correctly on the top of her head. It's funny to think back over the hair styles we all thought were so cool. During my high school years, all the girls wore their hair in a flip.
ETA: Eeyore, do you have any pix of yourself back then with the 'chunks' of highlighting? I'd love to see your hair then and now.

Herkie, thanks for the compliments! Yeah, my pride and joy is my healthy hair. All my hairdressers go into paroxyms of extasy when they work on my hair. Since I am overly critical about all my other features, its nice to have something I can feel positive about. My ears, belly, butt 'n boobs are too big. While my hands, feet, nose, and mouth are small... yep my big mouth is actually too small according to my dentist! LOL. His assistants draw straws over who is going to try to get the xray in my mouth. They have to use the childsize films.

I guess for you to really see the whole design, I need to show you from all sides because each one is different. Right side
Back so you can see the black bottom
Left side
And the top view
It really is supposed to be a flower - at the center on top is the black center with alternating colors for the petals. I am not too sure what the lower pinks and greens are - maybe the green and yellow is supposed to be foliage.

Thx. The cut is pretty weird and the others in the shop were bugging him because the first time I went there, my hair was to my shoulders, and it just keeps getting shorter and shorter. I figure if they are up for the challenge, then I am too. I already know that the guy who does the color is most likely planning what he's going to do next.

It looks like a small child cut and coloured your hair. (I can say this because she is my mother.)

Mocha, I am pretty much used to Eeyore by now - there is nothing she has said so far that suprised me. I hope that she always remains true to her own style. I have to admit that this coloring is pretty strange; it reminds me of those hats that ladies used to wear maybe in the roaring 20s that fit snug to the head and were mostly made of feathers. Then there was a type of netting that came down over the eyes sometimes. As for the cut, it is pretty chaotic and could look like someone practised on my hair. In order to get the colors to show in a certain design, it's snipped all over the place. The black center of the flower is quite short so that it will stand up in the middle of the arrangement. When you see it up close, it looks like you could almost lift it off the top of my head! I just love it! It's definitely not the more conservative style that Eeyore likes and which also looks very good on her.

Me: boring long hair.
LOL Mocha - Mom and I are both very sarcastic and snippy. I got my sharp wit from her. Example: When I was little, I would ask my mom for a sister. Her response? "No. You're enough." My mom and I are big jokers. I don't think there's a person out in this world that I RESPECT more than my own mother, and not because I have to, but because I want to. She was truly the best Mom she could be with her resources, and she was a better mom than many others who had more than us. But it doesn't change the fact that her hair was cut and colored by a child. A blind child I think. LOL

You see? I told you! My stylist once asked me if there was anything he could do that would upset me, that I would hate and I told him sometimes I have nitemares of his making my hair all one color of brown. Eeyore's hair looks perfect for her and suits her to a T.

Wow ... mother and daughter, how interesting to learn the differences! Shadoe, I love the idea of your hair color representing a flower. And it does remind of those beautiful hats the ladies used to wear in the 20's ... that's what I like about it. I'm curious, is it difficult to style in the mornings??

Vacanick - LOL That's all I have to say about styling it. Actually, that's the best thing about it. It does not look any different if I just shake my head, or spend an hour fussing over where the hairs go and using gel and sprays. It always looks the same. While it may look difficult, he knows exactly how my hair falls and grows, so the style is pretty much built around that knowledge. A good example is the black center for the flower - it is positioned exactly around that one spot everyone has - that top swirl from which your hair spreads out. The only rule they have when doing my hair is that I don't want to spend longer than maybe 2 minutes at any one time on it. I am a wash, dry, and shake the head person.

I have only met Shadoe one time (and will again at the end of April). Even from our brief meeting, I know that she is as beautiful on the inside as she is on the outside. What a great lady! I do have a question for Shadoe and Eeyore, though...why do you two spell color, "color" instead of "colour" like the other Canadian posters do?
