Home now from St. George, all unpacked, and watching TCM. They're showing what they consider to be one of The Essentials, "Gigi". Are you kidding me? I dearly love musicals, but frankly, I've never enjoyed this one. I find it to be absolutely and incredibly BORING! Essential? Ha! There now, I've said it. It's got to be one of the most annoying Best Picture winners ever, only slightly less unappealing than "An American in Paris" (and don't even get me started on that Gene Kelly ego trip). The only thing it has going for it is the presence of Louis Jordan, who was certainly dreamy in his day. But even he can't save it. It's a rare occasion, but I think I'll turn the channel to see what's on PBS. Even Nature or Nova has got to be better than this.
For probably the last 10 years or so, I've had pretty much the same hairstyle. For the most part, it's been long, all one length, and I would eventually put it up in a ponytail almost every day, because I couldn't stand having it in my face. It drove me crazy, but I didn't know what to do with it, and at the same time, I liked that I could basically get up and go every day without a lot of effort. For the past several months now, I've been threatening to do something different and drastic, and finally, yesterday, I did. At the recommendation of Angel, I made an appointment with her stylist. It took several weeks to get in, but finally, the day arrived. Angel went with me, for moral support, and to be the photographer. I went in with some basic ideas, but after some consultation and looking at photos with Francine, this is what I ended up with. First, the "before" shot: In process: And finally, the finished product: I can't remember the last time
