    Poor Mrs. Thing! Every time she looked in the mirror--which she avoided at all costs--what she saw made her feel sad. It wasn't just the wrinkles, the facial hair, and the extra 70 pounds. It was her thin, gray hair. But she'd been to many hairdressers, and none of them seemed to cut her hair exactly the way she liked it. One cut it all choppy-looking, one made it way too curly, and one hair cut was so awful it made her cry for the rest of the day. But she needed to do something.

    So she screwed up her courage, and went to a small hair salon near her home. And this is what she got:

    My new do

    She's not sure she likes it yet, but it looks a hell of a lot better than it used to!

    Oh I get it... click on the non-picture and it brings you to the real photo.

    I like the bob. You still have some good length there. How much was cut off?

    Hey!
    You're not bald!

    Thanks, everyone. :bigsmile: :bigsmile: :bigsmile: :shamed:

    They took off about 11 inches. But it was so thin, it was pathetic. Locks of Love will laugh when they get my package, but what the hey? If my hair makes some bald kid happy, then I've done something good.

    Too bad you can't do this anymore...



    The color and style are beautiful! Really suits you! Welcome to the "Racing stripe avoidance" Color Update Club!

    I see

    This Photo is Currently Unavailable

    And then it displays the Flickr logo. However when I passed my pointer over where the photo should be, I saw there was a link... and wala! There you were!

    I like it...but since mine is already tastefully too long for my age, I leave it in fashionable updos for my more proper occasions:like poneytails, bobs, and double tails. I saw Leslie Caron recently in the "Descriminate Doctor", and am determined to get it to the waist. I should really look foolish then - (we all must have our goals}.:peace:

    Mine was just inches from my waist, but too thin. And coloring it was such a pain! Getting hair that length colored at a salon would cost well over $100. I'd rather spend my money on other things.

    Mrs. Thing I really like it! It looks full and healthy and makes you look very lively. Nice job. :)

    Truly beautiful haircut and the colour elighten your face. You look very good, Mrst!

    I have no pre-reference, so I have nothing to add here of any value.

    I just like to hear myself type.

    I like the Merchant Banker sketch, mostly because of the pantomime horses, then the nature documentary narrated by John using a funny voice, then "The Pantomime Horse is a Secret Agent".

    i like the entire concept of the sketch.. "oh, a tax dodge!"

    it really is how the greedy mind works. . .

    Your hair looks lovely, Mrs Thing. It doesn't look thin to me. It looks great!

    I find that it takes two weeks for a new do to adjust!

    Day 6: still don't like it. Love the color, dislike the style. 8 more days, and I get something different.

    Backcomb the bangs and sides a bit then...AQUA NET!
    • CommentAuthormrsthing

    I haven't got bangs, it's pretty much all one length.

    Bangs would be a mistake, right now. I'm into a period of night sweats (and day sweats, and morning sweats, and sweating through elevenses...) and bangs would just be damp stringy things on my forehead.

    Hairspray aggravates my asthma, unfortunately. Most hair styling products do--something about the smell closes up my bronchial tubes. :sad:

    Mrsthing just love the way you try to entice his holiness with these little personal insights....

    You can imagine him biting the back of his hand as he reads these posts!

    Bangs are just the front part of hair that go across forehead and can be any length. I think yours should always be long enough to pull over crown in back (like mine). Have you tried any of the silicone antifrizz products like Redkin "Liquid Glass"? Kills frizzies and gives body.
    Cad could use it on his remaining hair I am sure. Nothing worse than aging hair that will not lay flat!
    I have done extensive (and painful) experimentation in hair styles!:cool::crazy:
    • CommentAuthormrsthing

    No, my bangs have never been long enough to pull back like that.

    My hair isn't frizzy. It's very fine and refuses to hold a shape without the help of elastics or barrettes. It's too thin to hold a comb.

    Sigh. Maybe I'll just start growing it out again...

    Mrsthing enough with the hair...
    Cad has the answer to all your problems.

    • CommentAuthorzelda
    • CommentTimeFeb 9th 2010
     
    Is this the one you wear, Cad? Very versitile.

    Mine is fine, too. Frizzeze or better "Liquid Glass"" is all that works.
    • CommentAuthormrsthing
    • CommentTimeFeb 9th 2010
     
    It doesn't frizz, though. It just lies flat, but won't hold a shape--just hangs there looking like...hair.

    Ah, who cares. I'm fat, wrinkled, and have unwanted facial hair. Nobody's looking at me who doesn't already like me.

    Goodness Mrs. T, you're adorable with a gorgeous smile and nice eyes that shine with your overall loveliness! Stop selling yourself short!

    I can always depend on you, Possum. Thanks.

    I'm not even going to say "you're welcome" because I was just being honest and wasn't trying to make you feel better. So... there.

    Mrs. Thing, I have to agree with Possum. You have a lovely smile. The rest is perfectly good as well, but the smile makes me feel happy. That photo made me want to call you up for a cup of coffee or tea or lunch or something and have a good long chat. As I came to the Forum tonight because I am a bit stressed and needed a distraction, it was a wonderful thing. Thank you. :bigsmile:

    Thanks, Heck. I am glad I've spent the last 20 or so years cultivating a personality instead of obsessing about my looks. But old habits die hard.
