ooh i'm so excited

i just called my old favorite hair salon in sf and set up an appointment to shape my wig tomorrow morning.

the wig/hat-for-the-interview-decision-making-drama was stressful a few weeks ago. all i could think about was my look. and it wasn't until 30 minutes before i left for the interview that i actually started researching and preparing the actual interview information. i was so stressed about what to wear and how to look professional and presentable with only a half wig.

so, emily coven and i took a little trip down to the american cancer society in hopes of finding a free full wig that would be more appropriate for an interview setting. much like my past wig searching experiences, this one felt a bit like a joke. i have become so used to the straight blond wig that putting back on the newscaster hair-dos was difficult. BUT the woman from ACS was so, so, so nice. she helped us pick out the best color. and she suggested that wigs never look good straight from the box. her recommendation was to go to a hair stylist and have them shape the wig to better suit my non-newscaster lifestyle.

so...now i'm really excited to be styled. we'll see how it all turns out.

underneath the wig is still...uncomfortable in public. it's a buzz cut. about a cm long. gretchen swears it's really coming in. she says the back now looks like a little boy's hair cut. i just keep willing it to grow. but until i feel completely comfortable with it...i'll try to make the full wig work.
