Day: February 20, 2019

After this morning’s curlers and before the upcoming styling, plaid wood Bow Tie o’ the Day and I came up with this hairy look. It’s some kind of Edward-Scissorhands-meets-The-Joker hairstyle vibe.

Not surprisingly, I’m actually quite fond of my mop in this mode. But I’m afraid this sort of hairdo would be disruptive. It would take onlookers’ attention off Bow Tie and keep it for its hirsute self. I won’t allow that. Neckwear must always be the focal point of whatever clash fashion get-up I’m wearing at any given moment. I respect my neckwear, and I take its presentations seriously. Even when I’m not being serious. Which I rarely am. 👔 🎀 👒 🤡

As I’m writing this, Suzanne just got home from work. She informs me she’s all revved-up to get my hairs done did for me as soon as she’s changed into her grubby clothes. Stay tuned. Heaven help us all.

Hieroglyphics Bow Tie o’ the Day happily goes along with whatever idea I come up with for a post photo. Bow Tie’s not even embarrassed to seen with me, much like Suzanne is not. Whatever they feel for me, it must be strong. To be honest, there are occasions when I’m doubtful I want to be seen with me.

In honor of Mom’s decades-long routine of getting her hair done on Thursdays, at least one TIE O’ THE DAY post each Thursday is going to show the results of my own “hair day” too– until I get rid of most of my hairs at the end of May. I’m handing over the Thursday hairdo responsibilities to Suzanne, but I wanted to give it a shot myself.

This is what I can offer you today. (You’ll see the results of this attempt tomorrow.) I have never once in my life put a curler in my hairs. (Surprise! Surprise!) Other people have rolled them on my head, but not I. I don’t even remember anybody putting my hairs in regular curlers, just permanent rollers. I remember they hurt when they were put in and also when they got pulled out.

Anyhoo… Because I’m a newbie at this curler biz, I don’t know if my curler-ed head is supposed to look like this or not. I’m thinking it’s not. And although I believe in the adage “practice makes perfect,” I kinda think no amount of practice is gonna help me get this right.

Part of being smart is knowing when to pass the torch, er, curler to someone else.
