But I'd love to mix in circles, cliques, and social coteries - that's me

Interesting that what a little complementing Blue hair will get you...I got a phone call to cut hair the other day for someone new who is willing to take a chance on a small unknown hair dresser. Complementing somebodies sophisticated Blue hair can get a gal places, just keep that in mind. I cut a short spike cut, spliced in bleach foils...they were heavy in the front, to a great caramel colour . I then brushes in Pravana's Magenta. YEAH FOR ME! It was heavy bright pink that I don't think is going anywhere.

I have been watching faithfully this season's Shear Genius. Interesting that I haven't said much about it, but I have spent some of the season a bit pissed at some of the challenges. Now I know what clothing designers are feeling about some of the shinanigans that Project Runway throws out. This season has consisted in cutting while blind folded, musical chairs with clients...and don't tell that not one of em have ever run into a punk kid that needed those crazy ass colors. They sent one of the ONLY girls in that entire group that can make that BRAND of hair color look good home. Tragedy??? I think so.

Thin Mint Girl Scout Cookie Blizzard

This is not a post about The Thin Mint Girl Scout Cookie Blizzard from the DQ. I will ask this though..am I the only one that watches that commercial and have to do a double take? How could they approve that? The Commercial says..."frozen treat made with REAL girl scout Thin Mint Cookies" what I hear is "Frozen treat made with REAL girl scouts, and thin mint cookies." Yummy! Real girl scouts?! That sounds so much more LESS fatty then the ice cream and Thin Mint Cookies. I hope real Girl Scouts are just AS tasty as their cookies...Or are Girl Scout Cookies made with REAL Girl Scouts??? Any way that was my "what were you thinking when you let this go."

Anyway all know that I am a Shear Genius fan... Only 2 episodes into the show and I have picked my horses. Charlie and Nichole...I would love to work next to them and show me how shit is DONE. I have watched both about a bazillion times. Interestingly enough, its on Bravo all the time, so the opportunity is totally there. They are brilliant, and smart, and know how to do show off their talent. Besides that, how can you resist somebody who says, "I am from Hell, but currently reside in Denver, Colorado." BRRRRIILLLIANT Charlie. So I flip it on and listen to it while I putter around the house. Brovo also does things like show a marathon of a show's previous seasons before they head release the new season so, Project Runway all the time . The bad thing about watching these people is now I have decided what little I know about sewing and creating patterns I am going to be a hairdresser/ fashion designer/Interior Designer/Stand up Comedian(THANK YOU very much Kathy Griffen. I have just enough material from one bad x-man child I dated for an hour special...I think) The house is a mess, but that is something that is being worked on and can be helped...so i clean it and throw up a picture here or there, and AHHHH see my Interior Designer comes out in me. At the craft store I saw this pattern book on what to do with Old T-shirts, and been watching Thread Heads on YouTube...see I am the perfect fashion designer, and the basic trim and color in the salon makes me the next Shear Genius. I have no NO NO desire to cook, so I am leaving the Top Chef, Next Food Network Star to the Captian. Look for my Fashion here soon. Oh!!! just a heads up the my hair website is being worked on and will be up shortly, for all those hair questions, and what have you!
