Me in 1988

I thought it would be a special treat for everyone to see a photo of me with my best friend Karen in 1988. I don't know if it will take your breath away, as it does mine every time I look at it. Feel free to inquire, via email, if you need any hair styling tips.



Oh, I won't make you suffer. Here it is: My hair is actually shaved on the sides here, and curled until it smoked, then sprayed mercilessly with aerosol hairspray. Don't forget to curl the bangs under. I think it's important to spray immediately after releasing the curl from the iron's barrel, otherwise it may not hold. And please, don't brush it after curling, or you will be left with a puffy mess, and you will be completely FUCKED. You can't start over from here without washing your hair again. You cannot just wet it down and dry it and re-curl, because the hairspray residue will burn. Washing twice actually usually backfires as well, because if your hair is too squeaky clean, it will just be staticky and stupid. You've got one chance, so don't screw it up.
