Before
I've always admired women who have the fortitude to wear their long hair down on hot, steamy days. I rarely have the patience. I know that regardless of how long I spend primping, curling, or straigtening my hair, the minute I step outside into the sunlight, it goes right up into a ponytail. In Hong Kong especially, the women always wear their hair down, so every now and then I make a determined effort to do the same. If they can do it, why can't I? Today was one off those days. Moments ago I walked into our apartment, took a quick look in the mirror, and nearly screamed in fright at the fuzzy rat's nest that had settled on my head over the past few hours. Why do I torture myself? I've just got to admit that I'm not one of those women who can look fresh as a daisy in any situation.
After* Oh, today I did, however, discover an efficient way to keep the crowds at bay in the busy subway and on the streets. Neglecting to put deoderant on in the morning works like a charm. Have no fear, my lovely readers, tonight I will definitely be taking a shower.
*Professional reenactment. Do not attempt this at home.

Your "After" kinda looks like my "Before". When I was in HK, I tried to leave my hair down, too. The farthest I got was noon, and I think it was my loving husband who suggested I give up the fight.
Were you ever in Poison?
The after pic looks like old school Bonnie Raitt. You need to put that stripe in there...

On my honeymoon I went to a fancy salon to get my hair cut and my stylist had once cut Bonnie Raitt's hair, as well. Weird.
