People often say to me that they wish they had hair like mine. I could finish this blog post with three words and an exclamation mark i.e. "No you don't!" but where's the fun in that? It's a fact of life that people always want things that they can't have and nothing illustrates this more than hair. Brunettes that want to be blondes, the curly haired girls that reach for the straighteners every morning and I don't know any woman my age that hasn't had at least one perm. As a child I wanted … [Read more...] about I WISH I HAD HAIR LIKE YOURS. MEMORIES OF TCB AND PLANNING MY NEXT HAIRDO

CHRISTMAS REFLECTIONS 2018
Sitting here in the period between Christmas and New Year, the place in time where I congratulate myself for pulling off miracles as the Christmas fairy and ask myself some serious questions about what my goals are for the year ahead. I stopped generating official resolutions and outrageous lists of improvements years ago and most of the goals amount to me being less of an idiot than I was the year before.

SEEING DOUBLE. THE CURSE OF THE DOUBLE HAIRDO

There are various methods, but the end result is that you only see my new (and allegedly improved) hair. This period of equilibrium exists for a brief time until eventually we witness the return of the original hair, peeking out from under the shop bought hair, giving rise to the dreaded Double Hair Do The good news is that for a while I'm the only person who … [Read more...] about SEEING DOUBLE.

I SHOULD BE GORGEOUS BY NOW
I'm average looking. That's not a good thing or a bad thing, it's just a thing. Most people are average looking, it is quite unusual to meet people who are either truly beautiful or hideously ugly. The trick is to make the best of what you have. I looked my best when I was 25/26. I was young and slim.
