as a last resort, i bought rollers for my hair. if that shit ain't curled into submission by tomorrow morning, i'm cutting it all off again
( Read more... )
aww this entry for some reason is really touching to me.
you know i bought a wig of long black curly hair because i decided to become a stripper while i am on testosterone, transitioning to male -- ironic, i know. but anyway, when i wear it in public before or after i get to the club i notice people looking at me totally differently too. i think i am going to go out in it tonight... it fascinates me how hair length makes such a radical difference in people's perceptions of you.
oh the visuals. i'm picturing your head on some jacked chippendale dancer's body and... howard stern hair. stripping is a scary concept. i've done modeling and that's all well and good, because i don't have to be face-to-face with anyone.
but yes, long hair does weird things. there's a huge softball dyke population in my town - and if i felt overlooked as a femme with shortish hair, i feel entirely invisible when it's long.
those are indeed fun observations. and you're right. i think the warm is my favourite part. and the flipping it. i love to flip it.
i've been thinking lately how it might be that the length of my hair alone that makes me feel like a square. how can you have long blonde curly hair and not invoke the princess-of-weird vibe? you know, those oddball people with too-long hair who seem caught at 12 years old and have an adult fascination with unicorns? they never seem as "with it", do they?
nnuh! but i liiiiikes princess hair!!!
i even put streaky blondes in it to try and punker it up a little. now it's just splotchy (i am a bad self-hair-dyer) and still the same thing.
oh hair woes. i feel you.
do lots of photo shoots of "before" for us, will you?
yeah. i'm all about the flipping and the tossing. and i like the way it snuggles me while i'm sleeping. i love the feel of it, but every time i look in the mirror all i can do is make old lady faces at myself.
your hair is brilliant and if mine was half as nice, i wouldn't cut it. and you had long hair before, no? i recall seeing a picture of you (i think at hartwick) crouched down with your jacket clutched around you and you were looking up and your hair was longish and billowing out around you, and you were punky then.
i'll do better than pictures. i think i'm going to incorporate my hair-cutting into a video project.
your hair is such as nice! you just don't know it because it's yours. i stopped paying much attention to it and it happened to be more okay without me fussing on it.
my hair was long before, but i think my dress made up for the punky. when i went short and bloo/etc, the hair made up for boring clothes and i got stuck that way. now boring hair + boring clothes = blah kate.
I'd practically kill to have long curly hair, even if it frizzed everywhere. My hair is the straightest thing in the world. I permed it once and the perm was gone within a week. When I grow my hair out, it hangs flat no matter what I do to it.
But if you want to cut it, I'm sure that'll look awesome too.

is the way that little girls and old ladies would respond to it.
