Snip Snip


I got my haircut. A non severe
Victoria Beckham style cut and I actually like it which means that the person who cut it, Susan, will be:

A) leaving the country to live in Europe
B) entering into a witness protection program
C) changing professions and taking up dog grooming
D) acquiring carpal tunnel syndrome or
E) all of the above

No way can this happen that I'm happy to have a good hair cut and that in 6 weeks that same stylist will cut this same style upon this same head.

The "I found and lost a great hairdresser" has been the story of my life.

My last wonderful hairdresser had a double hip replacement, just so he wouldn't have to cut my hair again. His name was Dimitri and he was an artiste. He'd grab the scissors and start slashing away while pushing my head around as if my neck were on a spring. You had to be brave to go to Dimitri as he never spoke, just used his scissors as if he were fencing with my tresses. I'm surprised that at the end of a haircut he didn't shout out:Touché

Once I thought I saw him working in a barber shop 30 miles from where I live. The car was going fast and I just caught a glimpse of a profile and some scissor slashing that reminded me of my Dimitri. I didn't ask the driver to stop and still wonder if Dimitri lied about the double hip replacement and moved away, just so he wouldn't have to cut my hair.

The type face has changed in case you didn't notice.

I could, I suppose, try to fix this but I'd rather just keep slashing away at the keyboard. And remember, dear readers, even if I don't write often, I promise not to do A) B) C) D) or E) as mentioned above.

My favorite hair dresser moved about 4 hours away and is having a baby. (sigh) There was even rumor she wasn't going to do hair anymore. It was SOOOO sad.

Now the owner of the salon cuts it - and she does a pretty good job, but it's just not quite the same. :)(I feel your pain)

Ilanna, there ought to be a law that if you are employed as a hairdresser, you must remain in your local area until all clients are deceased!

Mini - I went once to a barber when I decided to punk myself out with a zip. Not flattering on me - oh no!

Jeff, if I could get my wonderful dentist Ed Kozinn to cut my hair I'd be really happy. Many dentists are now offering spa treatments while you get drilled. I am not sure I'd like that though. (Jeff, I'm getting used to seeing you here...it's great to hear from you again.)

Sylow, I Bush kicks the bucket and if Cheney's battery dies and if Roberts keepsing foaming at the mouth, I'm not sure who'd be running the country. Oh that's right, Karl Rove just like he always has!!
