The expression on my face says it all. Even if I HAD a healthy, lush hairline, this 'do is a 'don't. It's too severe and streamlined for my oblong face. It definitely wouldn't work in a professional setting.And why would that young stylist even think it was appropriate for me??? I'd like to think she thought I was younger than I am, and therefore eager to walk around looking like a reject from a Bronner Brothers hair show. And based on how her friends wear their hair, and how most women she knows wear their hair, she probably thought this was a good look.
So did the toothless vagrant who accosted me on the way back to my friend Jamila's apartment in Midtown Atlanta. In his crack and booze addled brain, I was hotter than the day's sweltering temperatures.
And speaking of Jamila, she stared in not-so-mock horror when she saw my head. Her friend Sabriya paused and said, "That just makes me sad."
"Friends.....how many of us have them? Friends....ones we can depend on?"
