Oh well, I'll give in and pick up some sunglasses while I'm there, as the old ones had finally given up the ghost. I entered the discount hair salon after a quick run though the bookstore and a few quick try-ons at Cotton Ginny, fortunately none of their sale items fit. My stylist awkwardly ran a comb through my thick hair and gauged my left ear. She looked blankly at me and continued. I should have known something was amiss when she parted my hair in a zig zag fashion, just like those love-crazed women on Melrose Place.
Straight parts are out.
The fancy hair part was just a ruse, so I wouldn't notice the two inch differential between my left and right side. The worst part is, I wear my hair in a simple bob, all she had to do was cut straight across, and I'd be happy. I wandered around the mall, oblivious to my new asymmetrical hair style. I stopped at the sunglasses kiosk and picked up a pair of trendy twenty dollar cat's eye sunglasses to complete my new look. Anytime I spend less than a hundred dollars on eyewear, this is a minor miracle.
