I need a haircut terribly, too...and change does seem to be on the horizon, whether it be bad or good. Then again, badness is relative...everything can be good if you make it.

Oh, I got a haircut today and it is just awful. I don't have the same mirror problem as you, but my hair is just awful looking now. So I feel your bad haircut pain. Though you seem to have the attitude I need.

I read during most of my haircuts to avoid having to look at myself :) I think you should post a photo and let US be the judge, since we, the Internet, are known for our collective good taste. HAHAHAHAHHAAHA! ahem. Anyway, very cool new banner and color scheme...but shouldn't it be "wee ME" ? or are you changing that as welll during your metamorphosis(es)? *smooch*

i tempt fate everytime i go and get a haircut, which admittedly is only twice a year. you see i go to the hairdressing academy around the corner from where i only have to pay $7. of course you never know who is going to cut your hair or what skill level they are at and they take so long to finish that your bum goes numb during the process. i have no hairstyle per say, it's straight, thin and now past my shoulders, so they can't stuff it up to badly, which they never have.

Newsflash: i like my hair a teeny bit better than I di Saturday... but the husband sorta admitted he liked it better on Friday. before I cut it (or rather, avoided watching someone else cut it). sigh. And Liz... I've kinda dropped the "me" part. I decided I like the short and sweet "wee" better.

LOVE! LOVE! LOVE! your new banner. it makes me want to run up to Canada in my bare feet and find you so I can HUG you. You bring such beauty into the world!!!

I like to gather up all my bad purchases (bad for me, useful to someone else) and send them to people. Last year my 15 year old cousin got wrinkle cream, and she says she's saving it. My brother got mint-rosemary shampoo that leaked all over the package, and his girlfriend got some lipstick that looked TERRIBLE on me, but okay on her. I can't have the stuff in my house. If I have to reach behind something to get something else, I get irritated. I'm a single depth kind of girl. Does that make me weird? And I like your new masthead. Masthead? Is that right? I don't know SQUAT about this stuff, but I like what you do.

I am so relieved to read that I am not the only person who mumbles thanks to the stylist and then sprints out the door to sit in the car gazing into that slice of a mirror trying to figure out exactly what just happened to my head. I desperatly need a haircut but am just plain scared. Excited at the prospect of looking a bit different and hopefully better, but wish i could just pop a helment on my head and come out looking fabulous with no mirrors or stylists involved.

Love the fresh, spring-ee banner, Wee! As for your haircut, it always takes some getting used to when we try something new on our heads, eh? Your experience is one reason the only thing I do is get a trim. My hair, like chlamygirl's, is long and straight, and I pretty much always where it pulled back. It's probably pretty blah but I'll only do it when the urge and gumption for change over-rides the fear of change (like you, m'dear!)

I am hearing you. I hate thinking about money - never enough. and avoid haircuts like the plague - but usually feel better after having the beast removed. and love your new banner. a spring clean.

I hate making too many changes. I like to take those kinds of things slowly, so I am in the opposite place you are. I hold onto clothes, though I haven't worn them in years. I have the same haircut forever. I haven't bought anything new for the house in ages. But I do change my banner every month...

I hate HATE trying to figure out new hair. The fact that I have no hair of my own is kind of a blessing, because I don't have to sit staring into the mirror for an hour, I just go and buy a wig... my problem is that I just don't like looking in the mirror so I usually plunk one on my head, don't look, and say "okay I'll take it". Then go home and hate the thing for the next three months til I can buy a new one. My solution to this was to bring one of my friends with me and have him comment on the whole thing. Finally got one that I like. Yay! New banner? Gorgeous.

LOVE the redesign!! I adore change (which is obvious to anyone who knows me since I can't stop moving.) So nice to hear that I'm not the only one who avoids mirrors in hair salons. Look at the back of my hair after the cut?! That would involve TWO mirrors...one of them held in my hand and close to my face! THAT'S not gonna happen. I can't WAIT to pay and get out of there! :)

Kate - 2005-05-04 14:11:58
Oh you are singing my same tune too. We are members of the same "out with the old and frumpy, in with the new bling" chorus. And the mirror thing--I hadn't really thought about it until you put it like that, and you know what? I hate looking at myself during my haircut too! Especially since I have extra-extra thick hair which usually takes 1.5 hours to cut and blow dry. That is a long time to stare at one's own crooked nose, asymmetrical eyelids and chin-and-a-half. But I don't want to look at my hairdresser in the mirror either, because he might think I'm hitting on him. Because he's flirty. And Russian. And says things like, "Aaah, there is that beautiful face!" Charming, but embarrassing. And that makes me stutter which is even worse. Oh, I could go on and on... but you know my tune.

You couldn 't possibly look un-wee if you tried. Ennui? Anyway. I am often possessed by the same freaky spirit of purge, and unfortunately find myself wandering thrift shop floors bemoaning lack of fundage and wondering why I don't have the right sort of body to pull off retro Jackie O or even Sonny Bono clothing. Are you ever gonna e-mail me? If I grow floppy ears and claws, will that help? I do sport a prehensile tail.... Yes, I'm sounding pathetic. *sigh*
