My hair is kind of pretty. It is shiny despite getting blow-dried nearly every day and washed with a two-in-one bottle of stuff. (Not because I have dandruff, but because I am always in a hurry.) But it is wickedly straight. The only shape it holds is the right angle it makes after it's been in a ponytail all day. Otherwise, it lacks volume and demands a lot of trimming. I guess we can't all be cats and clean ourselves. Felix is always looking hot. Look at him, lickin' his paws and fur.
So I'm getting married in the dead heat of a Houston summer, and my hair needs all the help it can get. Did I mention that my hairstylist backed out at the last minute too?? Yes, just a few days after I found out our wedding coordinator moved on to bigger and better things, I found out the woman who did my hair for my bridal portrait will not be in town Aug. 16. "Is this [expletive] for real?" I thought to myself. (Maybe I accidentally said it on the phone. Who knows.) In a daze, I called makeup artist to the stars (and brides named Adrienne) Cinthia Moore and told her of my plight. Like the ingenious and well-connected woman she is, she directed me to Betty at Betty's Mode de France. This afternoon, with my second-day shampooed hair, she turned limp horror into delicious beauty -- and it wasn't even the ACTUAL DAY! It even looked better in a ponytail after she messed with it. Huge sigh of relief. Does she cost more than the previous hairdresser? Yes. Do I care? Not really. At this point, I'm blindly writing checks to anyone who asks.*

I laughed to myself just now, seeing Felix in your post. Lookin' all cute and groomed. I'm glad your hair dilemma was fixed. It helps having a well connected make up guru.
I try to include Felix as much as possible. I am afraid he's going to feel all left out when things really start getting out of control!
