I've had the same hairdresser for eight years now. She's Brazilian, beautiful, and has never given me a haircut that made me cry. On top of this, she always seems to regale me with juicy, highly personal stories. For example, on Saturday she informed me she hadn't had marital relations with her inattentive husband in over three years. She wants to leave him and now he's threatening suicide. I nodded as sympathetically as I could through my foils and told her she was being very brave.
Later, while I was getting my hair rinsed at the sink, a cheerful looking guy approached and hovered ever so slightly. He was standing directly in the line of vision of the woman next to me, which I assume creeped her out because the next thing I knew she announced: "You must be the kind of person who watches his significant other take a pee."
This strange observation dangled in the air for an awkward few seconds. Since I have a propensity for both eavesdropping and talking to strangers, I was quite unable to conceal my amusement.
The guy also seemed amused. "Me? I never really thought about it, but actually I don't think I'm the kind of person who would watch my significant other take a pee."
Some mildly flirtatious banter ensued, about urination, and talking to random strangers, etc.
It was a delightful exchange. You kind of had to be there.
I left the salon with blunt bangs. These aren't my usual sweep to the side bangs, these are full on bowl cut style. I was going for retro, for whimsy, for Heidi Klum, but in reality I fear that I just look like I'm fourteen again. Specifically because I had the exact same bangs when I was fourteen. Que Sera. xoxo
Well, what was old is new again. I have an f'n bob for goodness sake!

Hey Sah, you know that the girl in how I met your mother (the one from tv BUFFY) has blunt bangs, I was marveling at them the other day. I am sure you look marvelous!

With titles such as "Peeing" I think I know why you show up under strange google searches.

A coworker said he liked the bangs. And then he called me Laura Ingalls Wilder. I told him he was being "hurtful."
