Crap Hair
Crap Hair
Originally uploaded by deborah_kate.
To prove the hair is crap, I present this self portrait (taken in our bathroom which has mirrors everywhere for easy camera positioning).
Inspired by harry and his hair.
On some reflection, I've decided that the hair is actually not even crap, just mediocre. I can't even manage crapness, I just have this sort of bland little pony-tail going on. Internets, I am ashamed of myself for being so bloody dull.
For truly crap hair I'd have to scan in a picture of myself circa 1990. Now that was some bad hair I had going on then, but since my scanner is busted you'll all just have to imagine it.
Looks okay to me...
I had my hair cut today.

Aye, looks fine to me as well. Still, nothing suits a head like a nice, round, floppy felt hat. Consider a beret?

Everyone should wear them, I should add. Even if you've got hair as good as Kate's.

Blimey, you do look like your gravatar. I thought I was the only one. Hair looks fine. Better than mine, anyway. Which is a low hurdle, I admit.

Liam, I have to admit, I look really bad in a beret, otherwise I'd be there.
Fyodor, Kim also looks like her gravatar, I have seen the evidence. (I must inquire, how do you keep your hair so... upright?)

It's the force of my stupendously masculine IQ electrifying the hair follicles, Kate.
I have also seen Kim's "evidence", and I dare say the gravy doesn't do her justice.

I'd agree with that. Kim is the hotness. (And I'm not just saying that because she's a senior representative in the Naked Feminist World Domination Knitting Circle and I am not worthy.)
Posted by: Kate | August 27, 2005 at 12:08 PM
You're worthy, you're worthy.
* remembers Wayne & Garth moment *
"Whoah, extreme closeup!!!"
Forgive my reckless impertinence, Kate, but how is it that Kim's a Grander Poobah than you when she can't knit? Being practical womenfolk, shouldn't skillz to pay the billz be the key criterion for promotion?

You're prettier than the gravitar, Kate. And I too can attest to Kim's remarkable beauty.

I spent the 80s having bad perms until I embraced the ultra-straight hair that is the real me. I am the polar opposite of Curl. My sole consolation is that women now spend a lot of time with iron thingies trying to get my look. I wish the rest of me could be that cool.

Me too. My hair is so straight that the walls are jealous.
Posted by: Kate | August 28, 2005 at 10:53 AM
Oh, and thanks CL.

Kate, is your bathroom modelled on the BB House by any chance?
Posted by: Mark Bahnisch | August 28, 2005 at 11:46 AM
Well, apart from the cameras everywhere, no...
Posted by: Kate | August 28, 2005 at 12:12 PM
I like your hair Kate!
And thanks everyone for the kind comments - particularly Kate who hasn't even seen the ... ahem ... less modest photos.
Posted by: Kim | August 28, 2005 at 12:17 PM
Ps - And thanks for not reminding me that I'm a camera whore!

Here's a trackback for m2m.

Kim's link above is to a post that's been hit by the mysterious LP comments posting loop. It's now here:
http://larvatusprodeo.redrag.net/2005/08/28/traumatic-hair-day/
But we're still working on enabling comments for the post.

Kate, you are definitely a cute girl, and worthy of sharing hotness titles with Kim (although the less modest pics perhaps give her the edge).

"Kate, you are definitely a cute girl, and worthy of sharing hotness titles with Kim".
That goes without saying!
Posted by: Mark Bahnisch | August 29, 2005 at 03:28 PM
If I'd realised I was going to get so many hits by putting up pictures of half my face I'd have done it ages ago. Imagine the power of my whole head!
Posted by: Kate | August 29, 2005 at 04:33 PM
Kate, post it sister!
Of course you are the hotness!
ps - if you want to see the "less modest" photos, you know my email addy.
Posted by: Kim | August 29, 2005 at 09:00 PM
Ps - Kate, hope we haven't imported the LP style discourse of flirting, obsessing over sex and hotness here against your will!
Posted by: Kim | August 29, 2005 at 09:07 PM
However, I am an inveterately flirty commenter, Kate, so I give you due warning :)
Ps - can we have gravvies, please? I feel headless.
Also, a link at the bottom of the page to previous posts would be really good. You mentioned at LP that a post on abortion didn't cause controversy, but I'm not easily able to find it the way the site is configured at the moment.
Posted by: Kim | August 29, 2005 at 09:09 PM
Okay, I'll see what I can do to make the site easier to navigate. I'm not sure if Typepad supports gravatars so I can't make any promises...
