Back to Black (More Bang for Your Buck )

In anticipation of my 30th birthday, I attempted to give myself a Bettie-Page makeover. Getting my hair chopped off and dyed was simply the least destructive mid-life crisis I could concoct. I couldn’t quite pull of Bettie’s haircut, so I opted instead for an A-line bob. I like the bangs, and I like reverting to black hair, but I think I might need to grow the rest of the ‘do out to shoulder length. The bob is fine when it’s wet and flat to my head, but as my hair dries, I start to resemble a goth Raggedy Ann doll. Hmmmmmm. It must be karmic backlash for my recent criticism of emo kids.
