Hair Follies

A friend from Adriana's class at school was having her 40th birthday on Saturday, and the invite said "Think Audrey Hepburn" for how to dress for it. After hearing many of my other friends saying they were going to have their hair done up for it, I thought I could try the same.

It wasn't until they saw how short my hair was at the salon that they began to express doubt as to whether putting it up was even a remote option. Luckily, I had a girl who was game for it, and said my hair was a challenge to overcome. (I felt like the Himilayas at that point.) Several pins (48 various hairpins) ranging in size and ouch factor later, my hair was glued into place, so that not even the damp British weather was going to make it fall down.

So the party was great fun; everyone agreed that I clean up nice, and thank god nobody had any magnets on them, cuz I would have gotten stuck to them head first!
