This is Cleo. She is a very keen first year philosophy student at uni. Her favourite philosopher is the grandaddy of the existentialists (and also happens to be one of my faves funnily enough) Søren Kierkegaard. She also has a fringe (or "bangs" as the gentle folk of The USA call them) I would be very, very happy to have. Unfortunately, my hair is a bit on the wavy side so when it gets cut into a fringe it misbehaves terribly and I always deeply regret it. Then I spend 6 months growing it out vowing never, ever to cut one again...until I forget all about it and get all swoony over some magnificent chunky straight fringe that I see on some glorious beauty and do it all over again! Actually, I have well and truly learnt my lesson fringe wise. To all those beauties out there whose hair is made for thick, big bangs that brush the tops of your eye lashes, I am your devoted admirer and stand back in awe!
I hope everyone's weekend has been restful and fun! Here's to the week ahead!
I hope Cleo does very well with her philosophy studies. I'm sure she will as she looks very clever! It was so funny reading about your misbehaving fringe! I don't think any of us are ever happy with the type of hair we have. Most people I know who have lovely wavy or curly hair wish they had straight hair. I have super fine straight hair that I can't do anything with and would kill for thicker hair of waves & curls! I'll glady swap my boring bangs for some of your waves Sam! xo

Sam... Cleo is LOVELY and you have me laughing at your fringe experience. My hair is naturally wavy so I very much know what you mean... every morning I tame them with the blow-dryer and then I battle against the elements so that they don't frizz up on me!♥

I have a similar dilemma! I learned that bangs (showing my nationality there) would never really work on me my sophomore year of high school (15-ish). They curl in all sorts of odd directions and would make a reasonable addition to a costume of some sort (clown?) I'm sure, but don't do well in everyday life. We can be bang-less together, Sam :) -- PS I hear there are festivities on the 26th for various birthdays -- I hope you can join us!!! :)
