Good afternoon, Friday. It's Gloomy Gus out there but the weekend is coming and my favorite shows are starting up again on Sunday night (Game of Thrones and Mad Men) so there's that to look forward to, not to mention, IT'S THE WEEKEND.
So yesterday's post was about hair, specifically color. Today, I need to chat with you on cut.
I've always been a short hair type- I haven't had long hair since college. I'm fine with it. I tend to sit somewhere between a bob and a shaggy kinda situation at all times, so seeing the gorgeous Vanessa Paradis's new FU haircut had me at bonjour. As many of you know, the lovely Ms. Paradis was married to Johnny Depp, who is now marrying the (too) young Amber Heard and has taken to wearing a woman's engagement ring. A big, feminine diamond engagement ring. Oy.
But enough about him. For me, it's all about Vanessa and her fabulous choppy haircut- it's so raw and cool and existentially amazing. Having short hair as a woman is pretty extraordinary- it's completely liberating, confident, and super high style. I'm just in love with it and had to share and there's no better revenge than a great rock and roll haircut. Extraordinary.
So if your husband or lover or friend with benefit decides to leave you due to a midlife crisis, pay them no mind. Just get a great haircut and get back to it. Just cut that man right out of your hair and get on with it. Remember when Reese Witherspoon cut those bangs after she broke up with Ryan Phillipe over similar "issues"? Take your power back, ladies and don't be afraid of cutting off more than you're used to. After all, it will always grow back, even if your once perfect relationship will not. Sometimes "cutting" is a good thing. A very, very good thing.
And that's what's up this snip snip of a Friday in the super hairy 212. Yours, in divine shagginess.
