What the crap!
I’ve been meticulously planning for Dustin’s Godaddy Christmas party for the longest! I borrowed a dress from my Sister-in-law, payed the $40 to get a temporary hem, spent hours Googling what the heck you wear with a strapless dress to keep warm, got the sitter, selected the jewelry, shoes, dressed my man, and then what do I do? I go and screw my hair all up!
I’m notorious for this. I’ve never been described as subtle. I don’t know why I constantly have to try out new things. My wardrobe is full of clothes that look nothing alike and every time a big event comes I decide it’s time for a hair change! Not just the cut, oh no…I have to go for platinum blonde. What the heck was I thinking?
I just wanted to look hot for the party. I was so excited for the chance to dress up, be a trophy wife and have a blast without the kids. Instead, I ended up with micro bangs and orange hair. I look like some kind of anime freak. All I wanted was a fun, sexy change and I ended up looking crazy.
As soon as I got it done I drove to my sister-in-law’s and she and her roommate did some major therapy on me. They whipped out the flat irons, hairspray, shoes, earrings, compliments….anything to keep me from loosing it. They managed to spray my bangs into a foe-hawk (however you spell that) convince me that the big red earrings made my hair less noticeable and sent me home to the hubby with a bag of accessories, hair clips and a heart so full of thankfulness for all the lies they told me.
Dustin was super sweet about it too. He told me to just rock it and act like I meant for it to be that way. He also told me I looked like a hot sci-fi chic and if I started to get insecure to just tell myself that I’d go all Uma Thurman on anyone that said anything about it. As long as I avoided mirrors I felt good at the party. I totally forgot about it and had a good time. I refused to make excuses for my hair. In the past I’ve started out conversations with “Hi, I’m Dustin’s wife, I just got may hair done today, it totally doesn’t normally look like this….blah, blah, blah.” Like the world is really that concerned about my appearance. Forget the war, Mary got a bad haircut and color.

Hey babe, I think your hair looks great. It’s fun! That’s one of the perks to being a homemaker, you can do whatever you want and your boss doesn’t tell you that “company policy prohibits that.” Man I’d love to get my lip pierced again, but lo, The Man sayeth unto me, thou shalt not pierce thine body, nor shall thy color thy hair in unnatural ways.
Love you hottie!
I think it looks fun! I have always wanted to go platinum- but never had the nerve. You only live once and it looks so cute. Glad you were able to have a good time at the party and didn’t cancel or something crazy.
Glad you had fun @ the party & I’m sure your hair’s not as bad as you think it is~having “been there, done that” though, I know what you’re going thru
You should post a picture of your new do, I’m sure it looks great!! Oh and it doesn’t look orange!
I think it looks great! And not at all orange and those super-short bangs are all the rage ’round the city. I admire your gumption (did I really just use that word?) to make these changes…I recently cut all of my hair off, but it’s the same haircut I always go back to. I wish I could pull off the color and the bangs that you did.
Seriously, I think it looks great!
hahahahaha, i am known for cutting my own bangs and always regretting the outcome. however, yours look cute to me. they’re so edgy, man. plus, bangs grow. also, from where i sit, that hair looks blonde to me, not orange.
we are certainly sisters, though. we both get the gas and brake pedals mixed up, decide major events call for drastic hair changes, regardless of what everyone says to the contrary, etc.
Mare only you could pull that off. It doesn’t look orange at all, you kinda remind me of that edgy doo you had when I first saw you at church with YWAM. AND you look so young… your cute!!!!!
