I am my own mirror image
September 8, 2008
I shot a web commercial on Friday, and the hairstylists decided my hair should be parted on the right, not the left. ”It gives you a more younger look,” said one stylist. ”With a sort of twist.”
I know no one but me (and possibly my mother) would ever notice that my hair is parted on the wrong side, but it feels profoundly weird to me. Also, my bangs are so trained to go their usual way that I spent all day cocking my head to the left to keep them on their new trajectory. My neck hurts.
