and now, a change of pace

[seventhe]

1) I have found the grey corduroys I've been missing for about six months now. They'd gotten mixed in with my jeans. Which is a shame, because I love these pants. I am a big fan of corduroys for some lame reason; I don't know, but I love them. On guys, on girls, on me.

2) I really want to chop off my hair. But I'm torn because it's so long and I don't know if I'll ever have the patience to grow it this long again. But it doesn't look great long unless I put *work* into it; short hair might be easier. (Or uglier! I DON'T KNOW.)

3) I feel an almost undeniable urge to go out and buy boots.

Cords!!! I fucking love 'em! Lame reason? Oh, don't say that because I'll get a complex, then I'll be camped out in some parking lot with a machete and and a suitcase full of corduroys...

Oh damn it. Too late.

I AM SO GLAD I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE LIKING THE CORDS. IT CAN'T BE LAME IF WE ARE BOTH IN FAVOR, AMIRITE?

YER GODDAMNED RIGHT!!!

It's the REST of those fuckers out there that have the problem with our cordy gorgeousness! Bunch o' jealous bitches, that's what they are.

And is it wrong that I laughed madly at your icon? I hope not, 'cause otherwise, I'm so going to hell.

Well you know my opinion on #2 :P

Then again, your hair seems kind of annoying to maintain. Maybe almost as annoying as mine.

[first-seventhe.livejournal.com]

It's alright, I think my hair heard my ranting, because for the past 4 days it has been quite manageable and also good-looking. SO it's safe... FOR NOW. ;)

Dun dun dun....

I have lately become a fan of HAIR CHOPPING. Is your hair long enough to donate? I've done that twice, and it makes the whole OH NOES MY HAIR thing feel a little better =D

But I also actually think you would look pretty rad with a good short hair style. An excellent barber/stylist/whatever they're called these days would be helpful though, which is something I've had poor luck with.

...

COMMENCE RANT

Okay, I thought it was part of these peoples' training to like take a person's face shape and general preferences (I don't want to have to do anything to it in the mornings, I wear glasses that mess with my temple hair, plz take into account) and decide what a good haircut would be for them? Like I thought that was kind of their JOB?

But every time I come to someone to get my hair cut and I am like "make it as short as you want, as low-maintenance as possible, something that will look nice with my face" and they give me a look like WHUT. And sometimes something like "um, do you have a magazine clipping? ._." And I am like all no, I have no idea how that hair will look on me, that's your job. Except what I say is "no, sorry, but really, if whatever you decide on doesn't work out, it's just hair =) "

I mean, I know these people probably are used to dealing with like hair divas who will flip their SHIT if it doesn't come out perfect, but really, I don't care. Just do your job. Make my hair look nice.

I've tried both cheapo and ridiculously expensive places, by the way. No luck! Which is why I have "something died on my head" hair now, sigh. Too lazy/cheap to try yet another deer-in-the-headlights stylist =|

... yeah >.>

FUNNILY ENOUGH

It's almost like my hair HEARD me threaten to chop it off, because for the past 4 days it has been quite manageable and almost flattering. >.> I'm sure in a week it will change its mind and head right back into GOING FOR A BOWL CUT mode.

I!

I also have this problem with hairdressers! I sit down and say, "I have really unmanageable half-curly half-straight all-frizzy and also all-limp fine hair. Please give me a cut that will make my hair look nice." And I invariably get the O.O "Do you have a style in mind?" or "Do you have a picture?"

ISN'T THAT YOUR JOB!

[justira.livejournal.com]

I DO NOT UNDERSTAND.

This actually annoys me quite a bit because I mean, these people have an ACCREDITATION at least, right? I am not sure what the State of Hair Styling is these days, but I know you can get stuff that is somewhere in the certificate/accreditation-to-degree range. So if YOU paid a bunch of money to learn how to cut/style hair and *I* pay YOU a bunch of money to cut/style my hair.... maybe you can cut/style my hair please?

See, one thing -- I think that a LOT of hair school these days is devoted to two things:

1) colouring/dyeing
2) PROM/WEDDING UP-DO's

Like whenever I try to yelp some hairdressers or find any other reviews? 95% of the feedback is about how awesome/shitty this place is at colouring and/or how this place ruined/made some lady's prom/wedding day.

RARGH RARGH RARGH

What happened to CUTTING MY HAIR ._.

[first-seventhe.livejournal.com]

YES! They have their little certificate-thingeys hanging on the walls! I can see right there! You had to pass A Thing to get this job! USE IT, PLEASE.

Because, yes, I would like a haircut that flatters (a) my hair type (b) my face and (c) my lifestyle/maintenance preferences (probably in that order too) and I am not sure it's all that hard to come up with something!!
