A Study in Hair

Special Grand Opening Entry!
Well. This is it. My new site and new domain are officially open for business. So, I wanted to do something in celebration of the new pad. And while contests and prizes are all the rage, I thought I would give you something else instead.
Pictures.
And not just any pictures.
Hair pictures.
You see, this is my answer to the all the Katie Couric / Kathy Lee montages of hair styles. And while what I'm laying on you here may be a little painful to view, just realize... if *I* can laugh at it, so can you.

A Study in Hair
It all starts quite innocently, you know. Doesn't it always. I was a cute little baby (weren't we all). But when my hair got a little difficult to deal with for my dear mom, she cut it off.
1977
Even at 5, I knew this was bad, bad hair and I made my mother swear not to cut it again.
And we made good progress, by 8-years-old I got to wear the cute little pigtails that were all the rage.
1980
I was particularly proud of this picture with my awesome Izod turtleneck and striped Garfield belt (ala Mork & Mindy). This was the hair I loved and worked for. I was quite the fashion plate for the 2nd grade.
But some black hair days did follow. I cut my bangs myself a few times (no, I didn't learn from the first experience!) and I had the Dorothy Hamill for a while. But by junior high, I was becoming an adult. I needed mature hair.
Mature hair that required a curling iron and Aqua Net. Ahh... the teenage years were arriving.
1985
See that? That's my first mullet. It was my cool 8th grade hair and I loved it. I even used Dep gel on the sides which would get all hard and crunchy. I thought I rocked in this picture which was taken for my Confirmation from the Lutheran church.
But I didn't stop there. We were reaching the peak of 80s fashion and I had to get what every 80s girl needed:
A Perm.
Fall, 1986
Oh, I was such a cutie. Every three or four months, I'd get a fresh perm and I became intimately familiar with the "pick" because, you know, you couldn't brush these locks out (they'd get frizzy)!
And this perm, unfortunately, stayed with me for many, MANY years....
