This is Beth. Celebrating.
Exhibit opening 2012:
(That’s me on the left.)
Exhibit opening 2013:
(That’s Liz on the right, me next to her sporting a spiky version of this month’s do.)
What strikes me (besides dramatic do change): how fortunate I am to work on projects like these, with fabulous people.
This is Beth. Reporting on August.
The straight bob seemed to be a hit. I heard, “your hair looks good” several times, all month. Thank you! Though I don’t think I captured red-carpet glam, probably came closer to run-out-the-door mom do.
Also got new jewelry:
(look closely at noses for twinsie piercings).
P.S. Happy birthday Kara!
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.
