Snip, Snip!

After months of telling people, "I'm going to cut my hair...short!" I finally summoned the courage to do it this weekend. Upon texting Steph the news, she immediately responded with, "BLOG ABOUT IT!"

Before: Long hair with grown-out-used-to-be-awesome-faded peekabo highlights.

For Torontonians, I had the cut done at Civello, right by the MTV building north of Bloor. It was actually my first time there, which was risky considering how nervous I was about losing my long hair. But, my stylist, Carmelo, was really awesome. I put pictures on my iPod to show him the cut I wanted (pictured below) and it turned out really good. With the haircut also came a scalp massage and a little bit of makeup application, which was fun. The atmosphere of Civello was really fun and laidback - I'm definitely going back, despite it being a tad pricey.



I chose the Katie Holmes bob because a) it looks awesome on her and b) it totally made her look like she grew up some. And as you can from the picture above, I kind of have a baby face...

After: The Katie Holmes Bob

Surprisingly, I really liked it right away. It's a little different than Katie's, but mostly because my hair's so thick, and I have a lot more of it than her. I think I look more my age - with the cut, I don't think I'd be so easily mistaken for a fourteen year old. Short hair, as I realized today, is much easier to look more polished with, outfit-wise. However, I'll miss my long, pretty hair too...especially curling it.

I think my next cut will be even shorter!


(As always, apologies for the terrible Photo Booth quality, especially for the before image - it was rushed, the night before I got it done.)

Zooey + Joe!

The adorable Zooey Deshanel and the gorgeous Joseph Gordon-Levitt? Can you say extreeemely cute movie? You can't deny the appeal of Ms. Deschanel, and well, I recently discovered that Joe grew up. It's definitely on my movies-to-see list, and I can't believe I just happened upon it now.

And what's anything about the fantastic Zooey without a couple She & Him tracks? I give to you, a few of my most played:

She & Him - Sentimental Heart
She & Him - I Was Made for You
She & Him - I Thought I Saw Your Face Today

News that made me 'lol'

Sometimes things are just so silly that you can't help but 'roll on the floor laughing'.

Everyone makes little typos in their writing, but just imagine making one in the "propostion" where marriage is defined.

Typo In Proposition 8 Defines Marriage As Between 'One Man And One Wolfman

"....Activists on both sides of the gay marriage debate were shocked this November, when a typographical error in California's Proposition 8 changed the state constitution to restrict marriage to a union between "one man and one wolfman," instantly nullifying every marriage except those comprised of an adult male and his lycanthrope partner......." (hahaha so bad)

anyway i just had to share that....if you have any interesting/'lol' news clips to share...it would be great to see....

p.s. The Onion is truly an amusing site, you can never be on it and not laugh at the world...haha
