Serious Hair, originally uploaded by exoskeletoncabaret.

A relatively rare self-portrait, pre-club on a Friday night.

I’m especially pleased with my up-do this evening. Ever since my hair was cut into a poor excuse for an a-line with bangs, I’ve fought with my technicolor locks daily. My saving graces are a tiny-barreled Vidal Sassoon curling iron, piles of hair pins, and of course, enough mega-hold hairspray to provide myself with a dedicated hole in the ozone layer.

I lacquered the front of my hair into a halo of tight pincurls, some neat and old-school, and some with cheeky spiked ends. My sidelocks and the crown of my hair were put in ringlets, and the back is already so short that it could only be rolled under in a series of wee barrel curls.

And yes, I desperately need a color touch-up, but don’t remind me.
