And you know what? I don't give a flying fuck. I do not give a rat's ass.
In case you are confused on this issue let me add- I don't give a shit.
I have less hair and that is all I care about.
For a woman of my age I have a LOT of hair. When I almost died of mono at the age of sixteen, I lost about 3/4's of my hair and only about a third of it grew back in and at this point in my life I have to say- that's just groovy with me.
I was on my way to town, whipped it into a strip mall, went in and had some woman with practically no hair cut mine. It took approximately four minutes. I did not care!
I got what I paid for (bad hair cut for fourteen dollars!) and I can still pull it back. When it's not pulled back it makes my giant round head look even more giant and round but guess what?
I do not care! Call me Pumpkin Head if it makes you happy. I will agree with you and laugh!
It just made me feel so good to have a lighter head. SO good.
I went to Ross and bought three black dresses. That's how good it made me feel. I honestly tried to buy something with color but I failed. Black is what I wear. I am under no illusions that it makes me look thinner. It's just fucking easy. So I bought three black dresses.
Black. Black. Black.
And cheap, cheap, cheap.
And now I am home and boiling peas to make a very bastardized version of Aloo Matar. Everything in it will come from the garden. Mr. Moon is out of town so I can gorge on peas. Yummy, yummy peas. I will eat them while wearing black.
With my bad hair cut.
And I will not care.
Yay for not giving a shit. Also, I don't think I'll ever look at Elvis and his no-bullshit policy without laughing out loud.
ReplyDeleteFrom my point of view it really doesn't look bad at all! You have a full head of hair...I have been blessed with fine hair that grows as slow as molasses. I bet yours grows real fast.
ReplyDeleteAnd black dresses...I totally understand! I try color first and sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. I just am happy if I find what I am willing to wear!
Thank you for your dear words on my blog Ms. Moon....thank you
Well, my. Aren't we on quite a tear today? ;)
ReplyDeleteHows about you put on your overalls, Boo Boo? You sound like you need them.
Well, if that's your worst haircut ever, I'd say you're doing pretty well.
ReplyDeleteI think you look fine! 2 years ago, I cut over 24" of hair off, mostly due to my then infant son pulling it out in handfulls. I've never looked back!!!
ReplyDeleteAnd if I fould 3 black dresses on sale/clearance cheap, you bet your ass I'd buy all 3. And just to give the illusion that I'm a hussy, I'd wear them with red heels.
So there!
Nancy C- Those were the words I told Mr. Moon the first night we ever spent together- Don't bullshit me, man. He cracked up and has been bullshitting me ever since.
ReplyDeleteEllen- Your blog is one that reminds me of what is important. Thank YOU for sending it out.
SJ- I totally have on overalls. And I'm in a pretty fine mood, to tell you the truth.
Stephanie- I'm not going for glamor, I'll tell you that.
Rachel- Oh man. If I could only find some red high heels...
ReplyDeleteGo on with your bad self.
ReplyDeleteI love all the ways in which you express non-caring. I am *completely clear* on your level of not caring.
Did you go to SuperBadCuts?
ReplyDeleteThat's what we call it out here in LA --
(and it's not bad, but if you want me to say it is, I will)
Your hair IS beautiful, you know?
Well. I don't own A dress, much less a black one, so I can't imagine buying three. I can, however, imagine shaving my head, so whatever makes us happy, right?
ReplyDeleteI KNEW it.
ReplyDeleteI think the hair cut makes your hair look lively and swingy. And whatever makes us feel lighter is good, non?
ReplyDeleteHooray for having enough peas to gorge on! Your vegetable garden is waaay ahead of us out here in CA.
Kisses, N2
Didn't notice my son left himself logged in...
ReplyDeleteLooks just fine to me-and I'm not on e to talk of someones haircut-I or my wife buzzcut my head with our own set of clippers every few weeks-saves money, keeps me cooler, and makes my every grayer hair not as noticable
ReplyDeletehurray for not giving a flying fuck!
ReplyDeleteit doesn't even look bad from that picture. and who cares if it does? it's a lighter load and any of us with a massive amount of hair can sympathize.
three black dresses?! i am so jealous! what a score, lady!
perhaps we'll see them in upcoming pictures..? :)
Your hair looks just gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteIt's all about the comfort, baby
xoxoxo
I like your hair cut and your hair. It looks great to me. And black is nice. My wife wears a lot of black--it suits her dark hair. I don't care what I wear and my hair is mostly too long anyway. It's all okay.
ReplyDeleteWhat happened to your stylist in Tallahassee? Mr. Something?
ReplyDeleteNonetheless, there is something to be said about having a husband out of town that makes a woman cut her hair, buy three black dresses and eat peas all night until her heart is content.
i think you look damn beautiful! your hair is so thick and hangs just so.
ReplyDeleteMom, you think every haircut is the worst.
ReplyDeletei so would hugg you now..:-)
ReplyDeleteand when io read you ll cut your hair i thought no no no..because i thought it would be short..but that cut is not short at all..so...and its funny...because..i had my hair cut too..kinda..while you had yours...lol
I've had my fair share of bad haircuts, and I appreciate your ability to not give a shit! Glad you feel lighter, and I hope you feel cooler today too.
ReplyDeleteYou can have the damn icky peas, but your hair is adorable. Seriously. It is tres chic, goddammit.
ReplyDeleteLove youse!
Well I like it. I don't think it looks bad at all. As for wearing black, I'm the same way. I had a heck of a time finding a dress for my son's wedding that wasn't black and finally settled on navy.
ReplyDeleteAmna- It's a beautiful thing.
ReplyDeleteElizabeth- No. It was not SuperBadCuts but some independent cheap hair choppers.
Kori- These dresses are like t-shirts which is awesome.
SJ- How'd you guess?
N2- Well, mixed with potatoes and tomatoes and onions and peppers, it was plenty to gorge on and I did!
Mr. Mischief- Thank-you! And Mr. Moon has the same hair style as you describe.
notjustafemme- Maybe. If I ever go anywhere where I need a dress again.
Michelle- At this point in my life comfort is of ultimate importance.
Syd- Exactly!
Omgrrl- So true! And Mr. Randy is alive and well but he's in St. Augustine! Too far to drive to get a bunch of hair cut in an emergency.
Maggie May- Too much hair!
DTG- You know me so well. And that is so true.
Danielle- I would love a hug from you. Maybe someday?
Lora- Lighter at least!
Ms. Bastard-Beloved- You are going to love Billy who probably wouldn't eat a pea if it were fried in bacon grease. You are LOVED!
Lois- I wore a peachy-colored dress to Lily's wedding and I love that dress. But black? It always works for me.
My only criteria for a "good" haircut is that it's still long enough to be pulled back into a ponytail.
ReplyDeleteBlack dresses never disappoint.
Neither do you.
xo
You are hilarious, Ms. Moon! But I like your haircut. And the fact that you can still pull it back into a ponytail is awesome.
ReplyDeleteI am not sure what's bad about that haircut. Hard to tell from the photo. I can relate though, as I have been cutting into mine lately, after my last trim left my hair uneven in the back, and it was bugging me. Now it's worse than before. I do not recommend this method of fixing bad cuts. :S
ReplyDeleteLisa- Well, then this haircut is a success.
ReplyDeleteAngie M- Thanks, sugar!
Nicole- Every time I have ever taken a scissors to my own hair the results have been completely catastrophic.
Why should you give a shit? I actually think it looks fine!
