Prom post college

My niece just went to a prom. A second-chance prom. She's (?) 24 - don't shoot me Bri, if that's not exactly right...

She had a bad first prom experience in high school. So she and her man went to a prom that raised money for The Dresden Dolls, and if I were cool, I'd know who they are. Some band I think.

There was alcohol there, which was a big selling point, apparently.

And they took just about the coolest photo I've ever seen.

Pardon, kiddo, but I stole your pic to post here. You look too fun.

***EDITED: to say that I think maybe it's not Bri in the photo but the aforementioned Dresden Dolls. I'm so confused, and again, so uncool.

Okay. :) You got the age right, kudos! My first prom wasn't necessarily bad but didn't go as I had hoped. The alcohol wasn't a huge selling point, more like, we get to get all dressed up again and have fun. It was free so I don't know how they paid the band. It was just a grown-up prom with less restrictions.

I wish I could say that was Brett and me, but alas, that photo is of the Dresden Dolls. I will post the picture of us once we get it. That would've been awesome though. We were going to dress up like the Dolls a couple Halloweens ago but it never panned out. They were too new (they're still not quite mainstream) and we didn't think anyone would get it.

You're not "uncool" - there aren't a lot of people who know who the Dresden Dolls are. Go to www.youtube.com and check out their Coin Operated Boy video though. It's pretty cool.

I'm flattered that you borrowed the pic! :)

Hair

This has become the age-old question...Why do men hate short hair on women? I've been thinking about this a lot because my current style, an angled bob, requires a bunch of fussing every morning to get it to do anything. My favorite haircut of all time, as far as ease of care, was my pixie cut. I loved that I could wash it, gel it, and be done. No blow drying or flattening or curling. Just gel and go. Very sporty. I thought it looked cute. My husband has another opinion. The longer the better is his motto. Thing is, my hair becomes an unruly, tangled, nappy mop when it gets long. If I had all the time in the world and Jennifer Aniston's budget, I'd be more than happy to grow it long and have others style it every day. In real life, I guess I'd rather go for comfort and convenience. And if you ask me, I think the pixie is dang cute. I suspect heterosexual men aren't hot on short hair, in general, because it's too much like their own hair. No matter how much jewel

Looking Forward

I just discovered this blog was still around (and miraculously, I remembered the password). I think I might kick the tires and take it out for a spin. Our world has been in lockdown for a year, suffering a pandemic that has killed nearly 550,000 in the United States and 2.7 million globally. We've worn masks, maintained physical distance of at least 6 feet from others, washed and sanitized our hands, worked and schooled from home, dealt with (of all things) a toilet paper shortage, and given up most of our favorite activities (restaurant dining, movie theaters, live performances, family gatherings, and so on). We've endured people's stupidity, ignorance, racism, xenophobia, selfishness, indifference. We've also celebrated the "essential worker," those who put their lives at risk to make ours safer: grocery store employees, delivery drivers, healthcare professionals, educators ... all those whose jobs help ensure continuity of our country's infrastructure
