Slow down & Epic hair

[venetia_sassy]

We went to the nursery briefly today (spring sale!) and ever since my body has been screaming (or whimpering) at me, 'Too much! Too much this week! Slow down!' Fine, fine, I hear you.

At the nursery, I saw a woman with an orange mullet.

It was a mullet. No ifs, buts or maybes, it was a mullet. Very short top and sides with a wide tail at the back.

It was orange. Not ginger or copper or even carroty. It was neon, I'm-not-sure-that-color-exists-in-nature orange.

Her cardigan almost matched.

... uh, good for her?

That reminded me of some epic hair I saw a few months ago. We were in the pet store, buying a new coat for the dalmatian, and I saw a young bloke, tall, thin, with the most amazing bird's nest of hair I've ever seen. EAT YOUR HEART OUT, MIKEYWAY. If Mikey's ever managed that level of bird's nest, I haven't seen the picture.

I just glanced at him at first (we were almost finished) and then I had to take a second look because I wasn't sure what I'd just seen. And no, it wasn't just really messy hair, it was the kind of volume and deliberate tangling that could only be created by considerable backcombing and applications of hairspray.

I really wanted to get a longer look but it seemed like bad form to stare, particularly since the guy was an employee.

I'm trying to imagine washing and detangling that would be required with that and just ... no. *shudders*

You better listen to your body, they tend to get very testy when you don't ;-)

Wow, a neon orange mullet sounds like the kind of thing that almost has to be seen to be believed. I mean, neon orange I can understand but a mullet??!

*giggles* I don't know if I would have been able not to stare :-)

*sighs* My body delights in thwarting me, I'm sure it does. But yes, I've learned the hard way that listening to it is a good idea!

The mullet was just ... it was a mullet. There was no other to describe it. I can't remember the last time I saw one that wasn't in a photo.

Not staring was hard. But we'd paid and were on our way out so ...

That birds nest hair sounds amazing!

And yeah, I'd say listening to your body is a good thing to do.

It really, really was. There had to have been serious effort involved!

The whole 'listening to my body' thing is still a work-in-progress but I was careful today!

Listening to one's body can, occasionally, be annoying, but it's ultimately rewarding.

Mikeyway's bird's nest 'do was pretty epic so I can't even imagine the one that the store clerk had. O_O

Today, my body is saying enough! So I'm listening and resting.

It was amazing. I didn't know anyone could outdo Mikeyway with the bird's nest.
