Below, proof that I should not be allowed to touch my own hair when in a fragile/bored emotional state.  I came home from work a few days ago, thought, “You know what I really need right now?  Bangs!” and proceeded to spontaneously weed-whack my fringe.  “How hard could it be?”  Famous last words.  Um, so…hair stretches, didja know?  And Jolie’s hand is not so steady.  And, apparently, I am blind.  The end result is bangs that look like they were chopped by a drunk two year old; if you’ll examine the bottom picture, you can see that the hair above my left eyebrow is clearly about an inch and a half shorter than that above my right. 

Beauty expert, indeed. 

As for the color…well, sure, it’s day-glo orange and oddly patchy (I was going for Miranda from SATC-meets-Jessica Rabbit, but ended up with red bangs, orange layers, and weird, randomly-placed blonde highlights), but I don’t care–I love being a redhead!  Maybe next time I’ll keep my mitts to myself and let a real hairstylist have a go.

Former girl-crush Kristen Bell debuted a new hairstyle last night at the 2008 Teen Choice Awards, with choppy bangs and layered, wispy ends.  She walked by my seat several times and I didn’t realize it was her until after she’d passed by me for the third time.  I have a haircut this Saturday at the Nelson J. salon…I think this is the cut I’m requesting!

She’s smiling here, but she looked positively miserable last night.  Seriously, she really didn’t seem to be enjoying herself.
