…and so it goes

My friend Jenielle (see figure A.) is a delightful creature and her hair is one of her most prominent features; it’s silky, smells good, and looks absolutely delicious when curled with hot rollers.

Unfortunately, she only wears it curled with hot rollers when something fancy is going on, because rolling your hair with hot rollers takes an exceptional amount of time and patience, and sometimes you burn your fingers, and who wants that?

So most of the time her hair is pulled back in a pony tail that weighs approximately 6.7 pounds (see figures B., C., and D).

So I hope you all understand and are not mad when I say that I had to cut it:

…9 inches of her precious tresses to be exact.

But, OH MY GAWD, how frickin cute is she?
