A Super Cut

When The Big Daddy was in graduate school, I worked for a bank.  Two of the girls I worked with always had cute hair and so I asked them who their stylist was.  They raved about this guy with the magic touch and one of them was his hair model for stylist competitions.

I had no idea there was such a thing.

I decided to give him a try.  Many stylists will say they love the crazy curls but that doesn’t mean they should be cutting them.  When I sat in his chair, he said I was in good hands since his sister had the same kind of hair.  Whew.

Then he cut my entire head with an electric razor.  I kid you not. 

The Big Daddy said my new style looked a little bit like her…………….

Which is something a white girl shouldn’t imitate.

When I went to work the next day they were shocked, and not in a hip-makeover-oh-my-God-you-look-great way.  Shocked like he must have had an off day.  Ya think?

I read that John Edwards current financial situation requires him to cut expenses and instead of the $1200.00 haircuts he got when he was running for President, he is now going to Supercuts for $12.95.

When he was a candidate and on all the political talk shows, I was inspired by him.  The Big Daddy thought otherwise.  Nah, he said, his hair’s too perfect.  Something’s not right about him.

Oh BD, I thought at the time, you’re talking crazy.  But just like he knew his wife was no Grace Jones, he also knew John Edwards was no President.
