Bangs

I enjoyed reading the October/November issue of Bust Magazine. I savored each page, looked at each picture, read each caption, read every article and visited the websites of nearly every ad. While surfing through the Bust ads, knitanddestroy.co.uk led me to lazyoaf.co.uk, which opened with the picture above. Take a look at those adorable bangs.

Bangs appear to be the latest trend. It didn’t appeal to me much until I saw the Lazy Oaf picture today. The last time I had bangs was 17 years ago (at 17) when I sported a pretty tight hear bear that withstood the foggiest and windiest of days (check out the ultra sophisticated BW picture of me taken by Aurora in 1990). Can you imagine the amount of hairspray that involved? Anyhow, gazing at that girl’s bangs, I felt tempted to cut my own and then began this long agonizing debate of “should or shouldn’t I, should I, shouldn’t I?”.

Then suddenly, compelled by a sense of adventure, impulsiveness gripped me — I grabbed my scissors, hurried to the bathroom and cut my hair in one swoop and to my utter surprise and good luck, it looked pretty good (above picture taken by Doug during our walk today).
