As previously written in this blog, I had my hair cut at Vessel (where I was once before with a great haircut but a sort of tragic ending). This time I opted for a straight perm [by which I mean I was peer pressured into doing it by two Asians]. It ended up being a 3 hour long process. First my hair was washed. Next, smelly chemicals were applied bit by bit until my hair was covered in ‘beauty toxins’. Afterwards, another wash. After the second wash, my hair was painstakingly blown dry and ironed straight and shiny. This in itself took an hour! After my hair looked fabulous, they smothered it with chemicals again. Of course this was followed with a third wash, a second blow drying, and VOILA – straight perm achieved! I am pleased with the result so far. I find it’s hard to mess up my hair at this point. We’ll see how it keeps up as the summer months roll along.
I had also spent most of the day hanging out with Yumi and her high school buddy Helen (a Canadian-Korean 16 year old who was hysterical). Helen was telling us all about the trouble she’d get into by hanging out with BOYS at the ARCADE after SCHOOL! Japanese schools are so damned strict, I had no idea!!! I didn’t know you could get in trouble for hanging out with the opposite sex outside of school grounds and outside of school times! “Babel” has led me astray.
