The Happy Hair Conclusion

This is my after.  I love it.  Also the 90's called and asked me to come back and be a proper riot grrrl.

On Saturday my fabulous hair and I went to a little man's 3rd birthday.  I took him this pinata.  This wasn't the design that I originally intended to go with, but My wrist was not very happy Saturday and I was running out of time.  I did a quickie style round pinata to go with his Superman theme.  This pinata goes together in under 2 hours.

Happy Day, Happy Hair

Happy Hair

My before; lots of hair doing exactly what it wants.  This mane hasn't been tended to in awhile or brushed today.  Don't judge.

The color inspiration; bold red.

The woman on the left is Summer Bellessa.  I have a hair crush on her and I believe she is a faux red head.She is a bit of inspiration for color and the body of my hair.

These bangs are fabulous. Short, face framing perfection.

I want all of these things rolled up and combined on my head.  I anticipate one big explosion of faux red head fabulousness.  It's all going down tonight.  If you feel the earth shake (just for a second), it will be because my hair just got did.

Sonia Rykiel Knockoffs

Sonia Rykiel 2011

I saw one of these Sonia Rykiel poms poms and fell in love.  Then I figured out who Sonia Ryiel is and saw the price of one.  Good for her, but no thank you I'll just use that money to pay the rent.

I couldn't get it out of my head though.  I needed some big, fluffy, blast of color on top of my head.  So then I found this blog with a tutorial.

 

A Pair & A Spare
 

I had decided it was something DIY-able and all, but I wanted to make sure that I was going to make my pom pom the best way.  I thought I was going to go with the cardboard circles method, but... the lady above used a Jumbo Clover pom pom maker and said it was fabulous.

 

 

So I bought a few and they are fabulous.  I'va made 3 different sizes so far and it only takes a few minutes few each pom pom.  I love it.

Little pom.

 

Tulle bomb on mah' head.

 

Oh the fabulousness and the instant gratification of perfect airy pom poms.  AAAhhhhhh...  I'm addicted.  I might even buy the small and the extra small makers.  So I will be plowing through all that left over wedding fabric and then maybe I'll move onto some yarn.

Distracted

Currently, I am very distracted and a bit balloon headed with a cold.

Anyway, we got hair cuts on Saturday and discussed wedding hair (say it with a silly accent).  I said, "I'm thinking beehive."  Hair stylist friend says, "That's good, but...  My inspiration for you is Dolly Parton meets Divine."

Dolly in the 70's

Divine in Hairspray

More of the Dolly style with the absurdity and volume of a Divine hair style.  I agreed to this!  Also I know that David Tutera would totally cringe at this conversation.

Sacrificial bananas

Yesterday, I stayed home sick and slept late.  There was a fire while I was sleeping.  The bananas are real heroes.  Two tea towels lost, but no counter or human damage.  Thank you my potassium filled friends.

This post is absurd,

My Gross Out List

There are three things that cause an almost instant gag reflex for me.  In no particular order (because there power to affect me changes from time to time) they are: boogers/ mucus, feathers, and hair (specifically hair that is no longer attached to anyone).

Today though, in just under one hour, I am going to pick up a bag of human hair.  I'm going to put it in my car, drive home, and then with gloved hands, place it in my garden and around my plants.  I get gurgley just thinking about it, but I've convinced myself that if I wear gloves and go to my happy place, I can do it.

Art can be scary.

Here's hoping.  It's supposed to be amazing for plants.  It provides moisture, nutrients, and the smell is supposed to repel fuzzy little scavengers.  Don't believe me?  Look it up.  Also read about SmartGrow.

Smooches,
