Great Sets

Thank you for the responses to the posts this week.  I've chosen to end on an up note; for those of you who were interested in my relationship with my mother and had not read the essay, "Growing Up," it is here.

I was late to Mad Men but now I am January Jonesing for the return.   This post originally appeared March 11, 2009.


Maybe it's because of this, but I'm a little weary of the straight and sleek.

Troubling times call for a little lift.

Follow my mother's advice - you may not be able to change your life, but you can always change your hair.

A shampoo and set or some such thing.  Some bounce.  An errant curl to toss out of your eye.

Make sure it's a bit of mess to show you're not too much of a good girl.  The time is right.
