Let the moosh Whoorl Your Hair Contest

June 27, 2008 by Amy

Alrighty, moosh in indy won a crazy amount of money for caulking and drawing in her sink and has decided to share the love and hold a contest.

The winner will be fast tracked to the FRONT! OF! THE! LINE! over at Hair Thursday (you know, the little hair site that has been in the NY Times and on Nightline? Yeah that one, the one with a massive waiting list?) Sarah herself will decide on a new style for the winner, readers will vote, off someone will go to a salon chair somewhere in the world to get a fabulous new do that they will come back and show off on Hair Thursday-all paid for by me and my cock caulk money (up to $140 USD).

Just yesterday I got my hair cut and I was SO tempted to chop it off and go back to a short style.  I decided I might cut it off after my birthday this year so this is GREAT timing.  I’d love to get a second (more like 10th) opinion on whether to keep it long or cut it short and then start my 30s with a FANTASTIC hair cut.  So in order to win this award of awesomeness, I have to show you 3 pictures of my hair…at it’s worst, at it’s best and currently. 

Now, brace yourselves.  I’ve decided to share my afro of a hair cut back in the day for this.  This includes me pre-braces as well so hold on tight.  This alone is why any compliments make my DAY, WEEK, MONTH and YEAR.  I’m still getting over this…

That was middle school, probably 1990.  Still channeling the 80s obviously.  The shoulder pads, the belt, the color, the fabric, the bangs, the perm, the swoosh on the side.  What can I say except let’s move on?

As for my good hair, I’ll share my short good hair although everyone seemed to like my long hair picture in the last post.  But if I go back to short hair, this is the hair I want:

and a month later a bit longer and poofed out for a date night

The best I’ve liked it long is probably from this picture I posted yesterday

As for my current look, here’s my picture from yesterday after my cut..actually as of about 5 minutes ago.

It’s clearly the very opposite of my afro. Well, not complete opposite.  It is about the same length.  So there ya go.  Hopefully this will win me some mad advice from Hair Thursday and a paid hair cut (because let’s not even discuss how much I paid for my hair cut).  If not, I’m welcoming all advice..what say you?  Long? Extra long? Short? Poofy? Flat?  Permed? Shoulder pads? Ha, just checkin.

    I love the first one of your hair short. LOVE. You have a cute face to be able to pull it off. But I’m not Sarah.

    This is what I say. I think that you look great in all these pics…especially the first one…haha…I think you should do what you want…either way short looks good and long looks good…you can’t mess up.

    I love your hair in the second picture (and your eye make-up is great in that one too!). 🙂

    Here’s my opinion….I LOVE that 1st photo of you with short hair, sounded like you’re thinking of going back? My hair looks a BIT like yours, it’s very thin and I love it long, b/c I can make a pony tail and have it totally off my neck……but I think you look best with it cropped!

    I vote short hair too! The first picture is SUPER cute.

    I finally cut my hair short as well. I was always wearing it up in a pony tail so what was the point I thought. Now I LOVE it!

    Can’t wait to see what you decide. And I think you should stay away from the shoulder pads! 🙂
