Your mother should know

This is Beth. And it’s August already.

1. The do—Straight Bob.

Inspired by the slick, modern dos of many celebrities:

My bob is a coppery-gold.

2. Music (what was playing at the salon during the doing of the do)—Note: music plays all the time at Bang, I don’t get to pick do-appropriate songs. This time I only remember what was playing at he pizza place when Liz and I went next door to order dinner – Karma Chameleon (gotta love Culture Club, Boy George).

3. Drink (what I sipped at the salon during the doing of the do)—Note: I do get to choose the do-appropriate drink. Had many ideas for this month’s drink but fell apart at the execution. Running out of the house in an attempt not to be late to see Monica, I made a quick lemonade and raspberry juice mixture (in stock thanks to my babes) and grabbed vodka, lime and ice.

4. The Theory—The bob. A classic hairdo with many variations that have evolved over decades. Currently celebrities sport sleek  sophisticated bobs (above), it’s also a default haircut for moms who don’t have much time to do much with their dos. According to Glamour, “there’s a fine line between trendy bob and soccer-mom helmet.” I’m going for chic but might fall into frumpy.

5. Reactions—TBD.
