Bewitched, bothered, and bewildered, not to mention bitchy

Dude! What happened to you?

What? What do you mean?

You look like shit. Your hair looks like someone tried to glue it back on but then you went to sleep before the glue was dry, and the pillow stuck too. And then you tried to pull it off, but didn't quite succeed, and that's what that weird bald spot is about.

I just... It's just wax. And some gel. And some hair spray. What's wrong with that?

Just being honest. Nothing wrong with being honest, is there? And what's with the deathly pallor?

Oh. I... Too much sun is bad for you, right? Also, I'm pretty tanned now.

Going goth, looks like to me. Well, you're gonna want to dye that bald spot black and find some lipstick somewhere. You do have make up, don't you? I mean that pallor can not be natural. Or maybe it's the  shirt that just drains the color right out of your face. Haven't seen a lime green like that since those creepy DIY aerobics videos from the early nineties.

But... I thought this color was back in fashion now? Kinda?

Yeah. Like the scrunchie, slalom-skiing, wearing your high-cut swimsuit on top of a pair of leggings, and NKOTB are back in fashion, which by the way would match that shirt and the bald spot to a T. All you need now is to open your mouth, display those teeth and you're set.

And it'll be like the year 2000 never, ever happened.

And so it's out of my system. 

Good riddance.

I love a good snort with my morning giggle....what? No coffee to go with your hair issues? Maybe some coffee would help....

Good heavens, I love your blog. And I can totally relate to the "But ... I'm tan!" reaction to being told you look pale. Even when you're telling yourself.

Judearoo said...

Hug from Dublin, my gooey-haired friend.

I was soooo jealous when my sister got her NKOTB roadie jacket......but then when they made the "come back" the jealousy faded.

oh, I missed you - 4 days focused on RWP (even one having a baby) was long enough! I especially loved "Expat Existence"! You make me giggle!
(I think you must make up the word for word verification - it looks like something you would make up - "anpinge"?!)

kristina said...

oh, NKOTB... the good old days... don't forget the leg warmers and the stone-washed tapered jeans ;-)

wv phitr - to look down on something. usage: I phitr twitter (as if... ;-) )

Mei said...

Hmm.. Interesting.

But everything ends up coming back one way or another. Even things that should have DIED with the past.

Unfortunate. B

Extranjera said...

Dealz - Thanks.

Monica - Thanks. I am curious, aren't I? ;o)

julochka - Nooooooooooooooooooooooo (on the scrunchie)

Laila - Thanks. Yup. One of THEM days when you just have to kick yourself, because if you don't you're gonna kick someone else. And then there might be a lawsuit. And you might lose, because, after all, it was you who kicked, without any apparent reason, other than you were having one of them days.

An open heart - Coffee is implied. Always.

Heliotrollop - I have no idea what you're talking about. I AM tan.

Judearoo - Goo's gone, but map remains confusing.

NSGH - I kinda still want one. Is that bad?

Shambavi - Yah. Well. Hmm. Okay. Huh?

caroldiane - congrats on the whole grandma thing once more and welcome back. I don't anpinge you for taking part in your grandson's birth-happening palooza.

Kristina - Yah. overlooked the leg warmers, but was consciously blocking out stone wash. So, thanks.

Meisha - I hear ya. And now I'm thinking about stone wash, which so should have DIED. Yup.

Extranjera said...

Eva - Thanks! Glad to have made someone laugh and sorry about your evening.
