Hair And Now

the above photo of me was taken in February 2009, by my daughter Yanda Cox. After 12 years of growing my hair naturally, today, i have cut it all off; despite my new look, i'm keeping the blog photo up, because that's how i looked when i first started this blog in 2006.

They sent for the best tire-woman they could get to make up their head-dresses and adjust their double pinners, and they had their red brushes and patches from Mademoiselle de la Poche. Cinderella... was likewise called up to them to be consulted in all these matters, for she had excellent notions, and advised them always for the best, nay, and offered her services to dress their heads, which they were very willing she should do. As she was doing this, they said to her: "Cinderella, would you not be glad to go to the ball?" "Alas!" said she, "you only jeer me; it is not for such as I am to go thither." "Thou art in the right of it," replied they; "it would make the people laugh to see a Cinderwench at a ball." [bygosh.com; Cinderella,or The Little Glass Slipper]
