Andrew – The other day I took myself off for a haircut. I’m going to a wedding next weekend and I needed a tidy up without having that “I’ve just had my hair cut” look. Ok yes I am anal.
Up until a few years ago I’ve been having my hair cut by the same hairdresser. Miss F has however decided not to be involved with our “hairs” anymore and has moved onto tending to the sick.
Miss F and I had a rocky start…. Gusband and I were living above the saloon she was working in and Gusband had taken his head in to get a trim. “You have to go and see this new hairdresser downstairs,” he gushed, “she’s fabulous. Just moved up here from Sydney, oh you will love her!” Oh how gay.
Appointment made and off I trotted to my new fabulous hairdresser (my previous hairdresser was still trying to convince me I should get foils …again.) As I sat down she began the small talk they must teach at hairdresser school. “Oh so you are Gusband’s boyfriend! Oh so you own the blah blah and have the blah blah with the blah blah.”
“Ah no that would be Gusband’s previous boyfriend,”
“Oh Sorry.”
“Mmmmmm.”
I persevered (mainly due to the fact that my hair had never been cut so well in it’s whole existence) and Miss F and I remain firm friends to this day. So it was a very sad day when Gusband and I had to go in search of a new hairdresser.
The beginning of todays hairdressing experience was almost identical to the ones I’ve had with Miss F over the years.
“So what are we doing with your hair today?”
“Oh whatever, I think if I can get it a bit longer that would be good, I'm quite fancying myself with a bit of length - just a tidy up.”

“Ok so we won’t be doing that, I think it’s long enough and would look good like this….snip snip.”
Lucky I wasn’t dying to look like Orlando Bloom! I still feel one day I’ll get there but today it wasn’t meant to be. I love a woman who takes charge. At least it didn’t cost me $220 like the time I had it cut in Covent Garden in London – and that was just so Gusband could be rid of me because I was whinging about shopping.

Of course I love my new haircut but I know tomorrow I won’t be able to do it and it will end up looking like it always does. I’ll try campers but this weather isn’t helping! xx
Lucy – Well I guess that’s the long & the short of it!!! Ha-ha
But seriously, thank god we don’t have to have the chat about that long hairstyle…. I just had a flash forward to you in your late 40’s early 50’s with a slightly greyish tied back ponytail (I do however think that hairstyle must be worn with either double denim & or stonewash jeans)
It is a shame Miss F is not cutting “hairs” anymore. She was the best “hairs” cutter this side of the Mountains. Although she will be better servicing the ill.
As for the haircut I gave Gusband & your nice self in Bali, I think we all know why that career did not come to fruition (evidence pictured above)….
Sorry all, the few technical difficulties were my fault….I deleted everything & could not retrieve it. Thank God we have Andrew the computer guru to fix everything up after I’ve been let loose with it.
If you are Orlando Bloom then the Divine Miss F is Cyndi Lauper, I know of a few times she has been stopped for a photo in the street.(I would have inserted a picture here but that's what started the difficulties in the first place)
Oh & Andrew you will always be the Orlando Bloom look alike to me!
Who do you look like campers?
I have to say.... its taken me 6 years to find someone up here that is as good at cutting hair as the devine Miss F ;-)
