Thank god I had my roots done

July 26, 2008

in From PlainJaneMom.com

After reading Maria‘s post I thought to myself, ‘Hey, I was there too!’ and of course started scanning the photo. And there it is! Or to be more precise, there I am!


Hot damn peeps, my freshly-colored hair is in the New York Times. Now that’s what I’m talking about!

(And of course, this story was put into the Fashion and Style section because of my hair and not because it is a story about Women. Right?)

The back of your head and loverly coloring is OF COURSE why the pic made it in The Times.

I just find it stupidly funny that an article about women with the words ”Glass Ceiling” in the title is in the goddamn Fashion & Style section. WTF, Times? Seriously, W T F?

Jenny, my hair is more than a little bit thrilled. I predict it is going to be unruly and petulant from now on and I’ll never be able to get it to do what I want again. Bitchy, bitchy hair…

Is there ever an article about women that isn’t either in fashion or lifestyles?

The back of your hair looks great. :)

Oooh – will you mail me a strand of your famous hair!

Yeah, I noticed that too. Blogging = Style Section? Granted I’m not very bright, but not immediately making the connection there. Not

Maybe it was BECAUSE of all our amazing hair and shoes that the bit ended up in the fashion and style section???

I can DEFINITELY never go to BlogHer now. As I said in my Saturday night live chat, “I never do the back of my hair ’cause if you’re behind me, you’re either talking shit or looking at my ass.”

That was YOUR hair?! As I looked at the picture my eye went immediately past the adorable baby and DIRECTLY to your head. I’ve thought of little else since then. It’s such a relief that I know now!

:0) Congratulations on your famous hair. It couldn’t have happened to a nicer person.

Rockin’! You can now put that on your resume. “Pictured in the NYT.” Too cool.

And duh about the Style section. That awesome color would have looked totally out of place, say, on the front page where the story deserved to be featured.
