and... CUT!
Yep, it's high time for a fluffy entry. I can't be serious and philosophical for too long, otherwise I cease to be Sarah Lee. So, picture this, if you will...
A young, blonde girl studying abroad for a semester realizes that her new, short haircut is now her not-so-new, getting a little shaggy haircut. So, she decides that the logical course of action is to cut the said hair. Not by herself, of course, but in a hair salon. She asks her host mother for a recommendation and finds herself in a small room with a black-and-white TV and posters of haircuts from the mid-seventies and definitely from the eighties. The hairdresser is supposedly fluent in English, but after a few gasped words from the girl, blondie is quickly drowned in a barrage of liquid Marathi as she sits and watches, paralyzed, as more and more hair falls to the floor. Hm.... Remember that part about just a little trim?
The style is finished off with blow-drying and much brushing of already curly hair. The Girl puts on her best smile and expresses thanks for her 100 rupee haircut (read: about $2.12). She then returns home and does her best to salvage her 80's gym teacher look with some hair putty. After a brief moment of insanity, she proceeds to an internet cafe, blasts screaming punky guys playing guitars on her iPod, and reminds herself she's still cool. Maybe now she can even justify a mohawk.
Love,
The Young Blonde Girl and What's Left of Her Hair

Don't worry. I cut my own bangs once. And by once I mean 5 days ago. I have learned that hair grows. Hopefully fast.
