Joel cut my hair for me recently. I’d gotten into the old ponytail rut, and there’s not much less flattering than a ponytail on me. I’d long admired Ichii Sayaka’s haircut, especially from the Chokotto Love era of Pucchi Moni: For reference, she’s the girl with the short, choppy hairdo, mostly in the center of [...]

Any woodchucks poking their heads out here in KC today weren’t too likely to see any shadows…it was overcast and kind of grimy today. Winter in Kansas City, when it isn’t snowy, is not an aesthetic triumph. I’ve been hunkered down pretty deep lately…gone to ground so you might say. Here I am popping my [...]

People who have met me within the past 6-7 years would never believe that I used to have ass-length hair. I did. For many, many, many years. The photos above were taken in 2002, the day before I got all of my hair cut off. At the time this photo was taken, it wasn’t even [...]

My hair continues to be a source of humor and vexation to me. I gave myself an Epic Fail haircut last year at about this time. It was seriously about the worst I’ve ever looked. Since then, I’ve showed considerable, chastened restraint in keeping my hands off the scissors and the scissors away from my [...]

You know…now that I’ve almost recovered from my last disastrous hair experiment, I want to try having a perm. I know, I know…a perm? But I never had one back in the day, because back in the day I was ridiculously vain about my godawful ass-length hair and was afraid that a perm would wreck [...]

Because I skipped a few too many days of posting and now I have all sorts of random everything to get down. So. 1. I stayed home sick from work on Friday. I got this weird cold from Joel that seemed to go in reverse, starting with a nasty cough and winding up with stifling [...]

I’m going as the Ghost of Fashion Indescretions Past this coming Halloween. It’s overall going to be pretty easy. I had some embarasing old clothes around from my highschool days of the mid 1990s, I can still see out of my glasses from back then and I have absolutely no sense of shame whatsoever. There’s [...]

Let’s just say that bangs + all-one-length hair = REALLY DAMN BAD IDEA, FOR REAL! Basically, I made myself look like a jackass before we went to a nice get-together with our friends. I looked and felt like a dweeb and spent most of the evening trying to brainstorm on how to salvage my hair [...]

Well, I can tell my antidepressant has kicked in. Not only am I back to being giddily dorky and exuberant, I’m wanting to do shit again. Unfortunately, I want to do everything! All! At! Once! Aaaaaalll the shit I kind of quit doing a couple of months ago must be done now! Right now! Pronto, [...]

H is for “Hair” in my version of the Alphabytes. Warning…wordy with many pictures. Follow the link if you are kinda bored and have time to kill. I have a love-hate relationship with my hair. On one hand, it is a pretty damn good head of hair. It is thick and resilient and holds a [...]
