In about an hour I'll be going in to have my "annual" haircut. That's what my stylist calls it, anyway. I don't have my hair cut often. She does a really good job of styling it, so that I can go ages without having it cut. A couple of years ago, I donated my long-ass hair to the cancer wig people. I'm thinking I should do that every 5 years or so.
But I digress.
Every time I go in to have my hair cut, I swear to myself that I'm going to put aside some money so I can have it done more often. I never seem able to do this. Is it a subconscious, self-hatred thing? Do I simply care so little about my appearance that I won't go in for a haircut?
No. I don't hate myself. I just don't have any money, and it's hard to justify the expense, when I could just let it grow out. Haircuts are really a luxury, when you think about it. So, I don't go in very often.
Except she's got me almost hooked on the waxing.
Yes, gentlemen, it's true. Some women are just into pain. My eyebrows look amazing after she's done with them; they look much better than I could do with a tweezer. And the pain is far less than tweezing, because it's over all at once.
Of course, there are other health-and-beauty related things that I could get hooked on, if I had the expendable cash. Chiropractor visits. Colonics.
Okay, I won't digress there.

Eeewww.... colonics. I hope you're kidding!
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately, I'm not. Colonics can be strangely addictive. One feels lighter afterward, and one loses weight in the process, and about one week afterward. After a colonic, one doesn't need to eat as much, because the intestines are clear to soak up all the nutrients from the food.
ReplyDelete*sigh*
Alas, the laws have changed so that one needs a doctor's prescription to get a colonic. HMO bastards.
