G's life in hair Some people measure their lives in dollars and cents.Others
measure their lives in wins and losses.Eliot's j.Alfred prufrock measured his
life in coffee spoons.But mrs.G?She measures her life in hairstyles and, reader,
she has had so very many. It all started in 1969, when mrs.G. finallyGrew some
hair.For the first eighteen months of her life, she had none.You know how most
mothers can spend hours discussing the beauty and adorableness of their
children?Well, mrs.G's mother has confessed that she had reservations about
Mrs.G's overall appearance from theGetgo.Oh we loved you dearly, mrs.G's mother
has said the last forty Thanksgivings on more than one occasion, but you were
short and bald.We just put you in pretty dresses and on special occasions,
scotchtaped pink ribbon to your head. And then mrs.G.Grew a full head of sunny
blonde hair and was fully admired and appreciated.No more scotch tape.For the
next few years, mrs.G's life was all about dogears and pigtails. Through most of
her adolescence, mrs.G's hair was in inspired by this popular television
show.Her hairdo changed with each season of the show. And then this family came
along and captured her heart.Mrs.G.Had a terrible crush on the kindest and most
understanding brother in the whole world, willy, but she spent the majority of
the show's run waiting for him to come out of the closet.Actually, she liked
everyone in the family except for nancy.Nancy, putting it mildly, was a pure d
bitch.She always had a problem. But it was the teenage daughter, Buddy,
whoMrs.G.Really adored, so. She totally stole buddy's feathered look.Please take
a moment to admire mrs.G's youthful glow and natty tube top.She thought she was
super fine as she sipped her coca cola in a fancy glass.Actually, in retrospect,
she was super fine. In 1983,Geraldine ferraro was a candidate for vice
president, and mrs.G.Was a big fan.Pepper can at her head.After that, she packed
it in for the remainder of the campaign.Her democratic loyalty did not sustain
the possibility of brain damage.All the same, she loved ferraro's hair. Which
led to this.Here is mrs.G.With her beloved high school speech teacher who,
frankly, had her own fashion issues. And in 1987, this movie took mrs.G.Down the
lonely road. Of the perm.Her gargantuan glasses and shoulder pads completed the
look of her wedding day.Her groom is the guy in the tux. Reader, there are no
words to describe what is going on here.Let's just write it off to the early
stages of motherhood when you hardly sleep and are still wearing maternity
pants. After the children arrived, mrs.G.Had to learn to pinch pennies and cut
her own bangs. And, no, this is absolutely not a mullet.It's a shag, people.
Welcome to the 21st century.Normal sized betterGlasses and a few
highlights.Mr.G.Hates this photo.This Beach Wedding
Dresses became clear the day he said i hate this photo.

Dresses hairdo and she will post it and link your blog.And then for

wonderful.We spent all of yesterday immersed in pictures of family, hoping to
remember what names to put on the backs of those Bridesmaid
Dresses:http://www.jb3.co.uk/ little black and white tickets to our
history. And there you are, with your family, in all that golden light.What a
lovely journey to share with my first cup.It's like the gentle jolt of lagniappe
when you learn that your best friend, whose virtues and foibles and talents
you've shared and loved for years, can play the violin to make you weep, and you
didn't know.I have had the same hairstyle my whole life.I'm giving full creative
liscense this year!Kim Oh dearie, dearie me.I'd love to join in but sadly
digital cameras had not been invented back in the days when photographs did
exist of me [together with my hair] these days i have a digital camera but all
the photos are of other people [luckily!] What a jolly good egg you are.You
know, when she was still cute and not messing around with her face. I'd be
interested in knowing the name of your speech teacher.I had a teacher that
looked a lot like her when i was in high school.She was married to a history
teacher and they cut out of our neck of woods after two years.I don't know,
maybe all the teachers looked like that then. As for my hair?My hair never
looked as cute as your in any of those pictures.'Nuff said. I had both the
farrah and the twiggy.Had something that looked like a harpo.This is due to me
wanting to keep it short vs.My husband's desire to have it waist length again.My
poor hair stylist.She is coloring it an awesome red with blond highlights(Is
that what they're called nowadays?I used to get blond streaks but i think that
term is passe) My worst hair cut may be summed up byThename ofTheshop:The purple
feather.Mind you, it was 1983.The"Stylist"Looked askew at my mother when she
requested my hair be cut just like dorothy hamil. ApparentlyThegirl didn't
watchTheOlympics, Ice Capades or every other tv show she guest appeared on.
Anyway, 30 minutes later voila I was crying my eyes out at Bob's Big Boy
whenThewaitress called me sir.No 8 year old little girl wants to be confused
with an 8 year old boy.It took forever to grow out. I Cheap
Prom Dresses got satisfaction when I made it to colege at ASU in
Tempe, Arizona and drove by whereTheshop had been to find it had been razed
toTheground and a Kinko's stood in its place.
