WADT... ~chinatown haircuts~
...i'm getting quite used to getting my haircut in chinatown, both in california and hawaii...the following scenerio has happened in both states upon entering professional hair grooming establishments in such environs;
ONONONONONOONONONONONONONONONONONOONONONONONONONONONONONONONNONNONONONONONO
CHINESE PROFESSIONAL: sit, sit, sit...how you like cut?ME: i just need it trimmed a little.
CP: (smiling...getting her tools...and not paying me much attention) OKAY...OKAY.
ME: (using my hands...pointing to my head...making the very little signal with my fingers...grabbing a very small piece of the end of my hair...squinting my eyes) just cut a very little...not too much...very little...ok?
CP: okay, thank you...(turns my chair away from the mirror, then starts cantonese conversation with other CPs followed by chinese-type laughter by all CPs)
ME: (thinking to myself..."oh crap")
<<<<< 4 minutes later >>>>>>>
CP: okay...thank you...all finish...8 dollar...thank you...tip please...thank you
ME: (afraid to look in the mirror, while handing $12 to the CP) thank you (exits the salon still in grave fear of the mirror)
<<<shortly thereafter, i find my spouse, kids, friends walking towards me on the street>>>
...(for the next hour, i hear phrases similar to the following)
-"OH MAN YOU WERE BUTCHERED"...
-"SHOOT, WHEN DID WE ARRIVE IN CHINA?"...
-"DID YOU PAY FOR THAT?"...
-"DON'T WORRY IT WILL GROW BACK...IN A YEAR"...
-"YOU'RE LUCKY YOU GOT MARRIED BEFORE THAT HAIRCUT"...
-"DID THEY CUT YOUR HAIR WITH THEIR EYES CLOSED?"...
-"NOT JUST A LITTLE BIT UGLY, DAD"...
-"COULD YOU WALK ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE STREET?"...
-"WELCOME TO ANIMAL PLANET"ME: okay, i kinda get the idea...again...(sob)

I am sleepy.. and im too tired to read.. but im here to say hi! hehe..
i cut my husband hair and every now and then i say "oops" then i keep cutting until the hole goes away.
i just got a haircut today; she was trying something new; straightening it out, looked like a 60's do . . . . glad the curls just bounced back after a few spritzes!
is that a charlie brown christmas tree naked under the chinatown moon?
that reminds me to get a haircut!
