Bad Hair Days

From Michelle in Bad-Hair Rotterdam...

So, bad hair days. You see this picture of me right here -->

Well, I don't usually look like that any more. Actually, that's a lie. I usually look like that until The Minute I Step Outside My Apartment and then the wind immediately rearranges my hair so that I look like The Mad Woman With No Hair Sense.

See, although it is hot in Rotterdam at the moment, never a day goes by (seems like) when it isn't really, really windy, because Rotterdam is on a major river and also very close to the North Sea, and today I decided that Enough was Enough...

Ever walked into a hair salon and said those immortal words to the stylist? You know the ones I mean, "Cut it all off."

Well, today I walked into a very trendy-looking salon and did just that. Here's what happened:

Sylist: "When you say 'cut it all off' do you mean in a non dramatic kind of way?"

Me (totally pissed about the hair/wind situation): "Let's go for dramatic."

Stylist: "When you say 'let's go for dramatic' do you mean that in a conservative-dramatic kind of way?"

Me (totally out of my mind): "Nope. Go for it. I mean it in a radical-dramatic kind of way. Make me a new woman."

Well, in this particular salon while the stylist is at work you are not in front of a mirror. At all. So you have no idea whatever the hell it is she's doing until it's too late.

Anyway, she chopped and chopped and chopped and chopped. And then, when she'd waxed and done a bit more last-minute chopping, she led me to the mirror and this is what I very nearly looked like (except not really because obviously (a) I am not blonde, (b) I am not a model, and (c) it's not me).

So, wind. Do Your Worst.

I love my new stylist!
