Shorn like a prize sheep at a fair

Last weekend I was a demo model for a Toni & Guy hair show in Scottsdale, at the request of a friend. Talk about a wild experience. I spent 9 hours with 20 complete strangers, bonding over the fact that we had to wear the weirdest clothes on the planet (and one girl was dressed like an alien hooker, so maybe off-planet, too...), lay on the bathroom counter to have our haircolor rinsed out, watch people eat pizza while we had celery and unsalted popcorn and wear makeup so thick I couldn't even wash mine off afterwards. If that's the life of a model, then I have to give them props for even putting up with it. But all in all, it was pretty fun and I'm glad I agreed to it. I went in with shoulder length blonde hair and came out with neon orange and blonde hair, shorter than Sam's for the most part. I freaked out for about a day, but Sam loves it so much that it's hard to hate it. I did kinda miss having short hair, anyway. (And I can towel dry most of it. What?!)
The guy who did my hair is (if I'm not mistaken) the son of the "Guy" in Toni & Guy, Zak Moscolo. Apparently quite a celebrity among hair stylists. I didn't even know his name until someone was pushing me out onstage and saying "Go to Zak, he's in the middle!" So now, completely after the fact, I'm a little starstruck at having him do my hair. Although I was too dumb to know, when it was actually happening. Ah well...

Here are some of my compatriots, lookin fine. The styling crew kept fussing over the guy on the end, re-fluffing his curls and dousing him with hairspray, adjusting his suspenders, changing his collar, etc. I jokingly asked if this was how he normally got ready for work and he said he works in road construction, so um...no. Hahahaha how did they even find him to model? But he was perfect, he really rocked it. They all did. Even the poor alien hooker girl. Hahahaha good times. Glad I'll have that experience to tell the grandkids about!

By the way, there is an Urban Outfitters going in downtown, sooooo close to our house. Oh. No. But it's okay to buy out the whole store, as long as you walked to get there. Riiiight? Right. I thought so. Good. Even Sam likes Urban Outfitters, and that boy does not like any other store we've ever been in. It is a sign from heaven! ;)
