In the champange, I prefer the bubbles...

I haven't felt like updating recently and I'm not sure why. I think I just have a lot going on with my life and I haven't been feeling very inspired. But hey, here's something fun. Every year my boss goes to fashion week with his team and does hair for a lot of the shows. Sometimes we are fortunate enough to go with them. So on Wednesday I went to New York for FASHION WEEK. I had an amazing time of course. The show I did hair for was MILLY by Michelle Smith. I've done her show before and I absolutely love everything about it. Her clothes are always so cute and she picks the best songs for her models to walk the run way to. The hair for this show was named the "spontaneous pony tail." Basically it was just a highly textured/messy pony. OHHH and my favorite model that I did was from New Jersey!!! Her name was Liza and she was so fucking fierce but incredibly nice at the same time. I never realize how close New York really is until fashion week is here. That's really the only time I ever go. I should go more often...but then I would probably get depressed because I can't or don't live there. I could be like Meg Ryan in You've Got Mail, she was in NYC right??? Or Carrie Bradshaw. ugh. Who DOESN'T want to be her? Christ I'll take any of the girls from Sex and the City just to be there all the time. Everyone there is soooo..........fucking chic. Or at least trying to be and doing a daamn good job. uggghhhh.

This is the MILLY show from Wednesday.  I was ALSO lucky enough to sit in the fourth row on the right. WIN. (Liza is the 3rd model with the fierce fucking eyebrows. LOVE.)

Oh ps. The music is totally not the same from the actual show. Here is the song they came out to that I am so fucking obsessed with. I've been playing it non stop in the car. Enjoy.

stay fab dolls,

Wild girls and boys going out for a big time...

          I've been Obsessing over the B52s lately. I'm not exactly sure why, could be because the girls are fucking nuts. I literally can not stop listening to Rock lobster, Deadbeat club, and Is that you, Mo-Dean? Lmao like what???!

Dear B52s, 

           I love you. I love everything about your outrageous music. This may be too personal of a question, but were you on drugs in the 70's when your first album came out? I don't judge. I'm just asking. Brilliant as it is I really don't think a sober person could come up with all of that...anyway. Kate. You're amazing, and you look fucking fantastic for being 64 now? holy fucking shit. 64. Is that even real??? Cindy doll, your hair. omfgz. Did you wear wigs in the 70's? Or was that all you because if it was.... all I gotta say is goooooood job. I wish so desperately that we all could have been big hair friends in the 70's ugh....F M L for being born in the 80's =/ oh well. Thanks for being so amazing. Besos to Keith and Fred ;)

  Wouldn't I look adorable between those two?!

GET IT GIRL

Dear Graduated Bobs, I'm kinda over you.

When I first started cutting hair in 2008 the Graduated Bob was a MUST HAVE. Victoria Beckham was all up in everybody's face with her sexy hair cut. Of course this cut had to be the "trend" because I had no clue how to fucking do it. No one I knew in school could really master it. It's a really hard cut. So after I was behind the chair for a few months I had somewhat of a crazy/kook break down and I almost threw the towel in on cutting hair all together. One of the educators that I work with really helped me out and literally put me into a hair cutting boot camp. Naturally, I hated him and my life for a few months (Thankyousomuchloveyamuwah.) But then I guess someone took the nasty cloud above my head away and I felt really comfortable with them.. (or maybe it was because I did so many I could do them with my eyes closed.) Recently I have noticed that now the majority of my clients, have this cut. They fucking love it. Every Saturday I'm seeing more and more of these particular bobs. It's not that I don't dig the look of it. I think if it is done well, it is adorable. I also think that I've become really good at them but I need some variety or I'm going to go fucking bananas. 

                                                                          whuuuuuuuuuut?!^^^

To all you wedge heads and the stylists with cutting insecurities,

Stay fabulous.
