i feel kristen stewart's pain. i used to be trendy. i mean, i was never "cool" per se, but i almost always looked cool. i buzzed my head pre-brittany à la natalie portman; i wore doc martens in the 5th grade; i've seen my fair share of tie-dye, black nail polish, and big, slutty earrings. those were the good ol' days. pre-recession days. days where spending $30 to get my hair cut didn't seem frivolous. those were also the days when i had a haircut buddy who would entertain me while i had to sit in the hot seat. those days are long gone and so is my haircut buddy. :( i haven't had a haircut since december of 2009. that may not seem like long, but when you have short hair, it's an eternity. i'm sure that kristen stewart is suffering from recession haircut syndrome, too. or maybe she just needs a good haircut buddy. i should e-mail her agent. perhaps i could get a free haircut out of the deal. in any case, i'm sitting here looking at all the ways kristen and my hair make us doppelgangers, and i find myself justifying her she-mullet: "it's euro-hipster cool," "who cares if she doesn't wash it everyday--it's better for the environment," "at least she's not wrapped up in her physical appearance," and so on and so forth. the long and short of it is, krissy and i both need a mullet like we need a hole in the head. unfortunately, until i can find somewhere that will cut my she-mullet for less than $30 or a haircut buddy to convince me to go anyway, (which is not likely to happen any time soon) i am going to forfeit physical attractiveness for financial well being. on the bright side, perhaps my new look is yet another pre-trend setting look that will even inspire a return of the much beloved 1980's mullet. only time will tell.

she-mullet, or the day my trendy died

this entry made me sadddddddddddddddd. and my hair looks like shit, so i feel ya, hair buddy.
ReplyDeletei really like my hair right now, but this is the first time i have in a looooong time! when my parents moved to small-town iowa, my mom and aunt learned to cut each other's hair. i guess it doesn't look professional, but it definitely doesn't look bad. you could take a chance with some scissors...
