from my friend Maureen, regarding my appearance in a salon window ad

"Somewhat startled by the image of your giant head ballooning out of
the window of a East 14th Street beauty salon. I'm not sure whether
you're aware of it, but apparently a large, poster-size photo of you
has been chosen by this particular salon to be placed in their window
to lure people having bad hair days toward a brighter, sleeker future.
You're dressed in red and looking up at the camera and giving that "O,
alack, I am but a poor lost ingenue, tho' my hair is undoubtedly
fabulous!" look."
