i know i've written before about how i started dyeing my hair when i was a wee lass of 11. and i've also written about how i continued to dye my hair every natural and non-natural color under the rainbow until i was about 20-21. so i will spare you those details

You could engineer a "chance" encounter with your hairdresser-to-be, charm them, befriend them, get to know them over the occasional coffee, the occasional beer (remember to feign surprise when they tell you that they cut hair for a living) and then casually invite them over to watch movies and eat pizzas. At that point, it should be fairly easy to get "The Graduate" on screen and candidly confess that you've always wanted hair like Ms Bancroft's. Bingo!

I believe it's called "stalking".

[miauhaus]

i've discovered over the years that i'm not very good at the stalking thing. i'm much too self-conscious- and perhaps even too sane- in nature to pull it off.

plus, have you hung out with hairdressers?? it's just not worth it. haha!

hair woes

Can you bring a few screen shots along with you? I need a haircut too... my hair is a little longer than Madonna's at the moment and I want to get it trimmed so I can keep on doing the flicky-out thing I've been doing *since last year* BUT I'm a smidge too embarrassed to bring a photo of Madonna along with me.

I mean, it's one thing to be seen copying her style when you're 12; quite another when you're 29! And it's quite another when you can truthfully say that you were wearing the style first...

i know your dilemma, for years i got my hair cut just like bjork. at one point i actually did bring in a VHS tape for my hairdresser to watch because i didn't have any pictures. in that case he was a friend so it wasn't awkward.

going to other people though and whipping out a celebrity picture and saying "just like that!" is rather embarrassing. still, you have to think that most people probably do that so they're used to it. at least you're not bringing in a picture of a soap opera star or something.

Anne B. is still looking good, did you see her on the last episode of Curb your Enthusiasm (that's out on DVD)? She still has the same hairdo.

[miauhaus]

well, she actually died very recently but prior to that she was still looking quite the fox!

[labrujah]

Oh that's sad! She and Mel seemed so happy.

[miauhaus]

it was sad! i read about a few appearances mel made afterwards and it sounds like he was taking it as well as one can.

i'm with you. i much prefer and austere and sophisticated appearance to all of my previous punky/gothy/etc ideals. my aesthetic hovers somewhere around audrey hepburnish simplicity, with some dark-haired, heavily-eyelinered sixties thrown in. although my fondness for victorian frippery muddles that up a bit, but what can you do.

i like the bancroft hair, btw.

i went through punk / goth / industrial / etc. phases too and it's fine when one's young but now that i'm nearing thirty i just can't do it anymore. i also have a small frame and most trends tend to not flatter that fact... hello flared jeans!

occasionally i feel like a sell-out wearing jcrew and banana republic et al but i guess i just have to come to terms with the fact that i am a grown up now- as much as i don't want to!

but i really think that's why i want to change my hair... if i can't dress all that creatively then at least i can control my body. i mean it's gotten to the point where i'm considering wearing eye make-up again!
