Not Quite a Fail, but not exactly a Win

Again, back to my Adventures in Pinterest. I tried a new hair style from Pinterest. Now, let me start off by saying, I am no Magical Hair Maestra. Only recently did I learn how to make the bouffant bump, and mine goes flat kind of quickly. This is because I still tippy toe a little bit around my hair spray canister. I am learning more hairspray is always the right answer. There should be no shyness with the hair spray can.

I watched a seemingly ridiculously simple tutorial here:

For this elegant, but SIMPLE up-do:








I mustered up my lack of skill and plenty of enthusiasm, and attacked my hair with bobby pins.



Ummm, this is what I got:



I laugh everytime I see the picture.




Clearly, I need some practice. On the hopeful side, I think I can do it. I just need to put the man hours in and invest in one of those mirros that attaches to the wall and has a stretchy arm so I can actually see the back of my head.



Which will then require some practice at manuevering backwards, because if you are anything like me, you have no idea which way you are going when you look at yourself in a mirror backwards. I want my hair to go back, I move my arm forward...hmmm. Back to the whole lack of hand eye coordination.


Sometimes it is a good thing that most of the people at work find me a little odd and quirky. I can pull off this hair "style".

What the hell, at least I tried.
