New "Do" in EU

Ok here is the before picture, drab, long locks... add one trip to Europe to a chique hair salon where they didn't speak any English, and my Spanish was very limited... and you get...




This is the super cool - fresh from Marco Aldany's look as we wandered through Madrid!






It was great to look good when I was actually sick and feeling really under the weather. (see the next post for details on our trip to Spain) In any case, I was proud of my ability to communicate, and my style choice.



And it even looks good on wash and wear days (most days) when I don't have time to stand around with a hair-dryer straightening it enough so that it will get in my face and drive me crazy on windy days, which are most days, these days (yes, mom, I know that when I was a teenager I said I would NEVER get tired of my hair in my face... but then I became a teacher! AIIIEEEE what have you DONE to me??? hee hee) Here's a picture of me at the end of a windy day back in the reality of North Africa, with no special time spent fixing up the new do.
