Okay. I had to give in to the allure of my brush with Taiwanese pop stardom.

My coiffe was in desperate need of a cut (after nearly a year of overgrowth). I couldn't quite fit the cut in before I left for my trip to Taiwan so I was left with a photo ripped from my Delia's catalogue to shop around for some kind of Taipei hairstylist that might do a good job giving me some long sexy layers.

My little high school buddy/family friend turned Taiwan b-level pop star had a couple girfriends who swore by the most popular hair stylist to the Taiwanese stars of the moment. Her name, Splendy (don't ask because I just do not know). Trained in London at Vidal Sassoon, she had cut the style for the near ubiquitous Yang Cheng Ling ("Rainie"), an anime looking girl with huge bangs and the face of a toddler.

My appointment with Splendy did not disappoint. I now have a haircut by the trendiest hairstylist of the Taiwanese stars.

Kiss my ring.

J, you were pretty stylin' before-- don't let the fashionistas tell you otherwise, but this is an "on trend" cut and your hair looks healthy and shiny!
I also like your necklace.

i think this is the best hair-story ever. i love the look (and you pull it off so fabulously) -- and really, who can beat having a hairdresser named Splendy? you look fab-oh dah-ling. Fab-oh.

thanks starbright oogi and lilbunny! i've gotten some wonderful feedback on the new look. i guess my previous hair was not so stylin, huh? but now...my hair is like an accessory. what a strange concept.

J! Your hair is awesome. Splendy (now my favorite name ever, maybe it's short for Splendid, Just Splendid!) did a great job!

and HA HA HA re: "face of a toddler".
