My Sister: A Conversation and New Hair
Written by whoorl · Filed Under mass media, photos, the tribe
A conversation between Lala and myself yesterday.
S: I just heard from the Nightline producer. Looks like my segment will run next week.
L: Dude, are you going to watch it?
S: I think I am going to record it and watch it later. You know, so I can pause and bury my head under a pillow every 23 seconds.
L: Good plan.
S: What if the interview is all cut and spliced and I sound like a total idiot?
L: (Deep sigh) Oh, that is totally what happened to Brenda.
S: Brenda? Who is Brenda?
L: (incredulous laughter) Um, BRENDA. Remember when she was interviewed about her friends by some newspaper? And the reporter totally twisted her words and misquoted her? And like, EVERYONE was furious with her? Donna and Kelly WOULDN’T EVEN TALK TO HER.
S: Wait. Are you referring to a Beverly Hills 90210 episode from 15 years ago?
L: Um, YEAH. Don’t you remember?
(Complete silence.)
L: Seriously, HOW COULD YOU NOT REMEMBER?! Whatever. I’m just saying, it could happen.
S: Thanks for the tip.
L: No problem.
In other news, we had an unofficial sisterly Hair Thursday this week. Lala was sick of her long hair and wanted a change, so she went from this:
To this:
Super cute, huh? Donna and Kelly would be BLINDED by jealousy.

May 16th, 2008 3:38 pmYour sister has herself one great new haircut. And I kind of adore your how family now. (Sealed by the 90210 reference, naturally.)

May 16th, 2008 3:50 pmYou should totally have a 90210 Hair Thursday! People can submit photos of their 90210 hairstyles and we can vote on which Melrose Place hairstyle they should have instead! Although….those Brenda Walsh bangs are coming back in style…..
P.S. Weird. I totally read Moose’s comment with the word “whole” instead of “how”—I should drink wine and read more often!

May 16th, 2008 4:00 pmYou both look alike! In a good way! I’m sure you’ve heard this before, but you both also have quite a resemblance to Kristin Davis from Sex & The City. I think it’s the smile/mouth.

May 16th, 2008 4:01 pmWow. Just WOW. She looks fantastic!

May 16th, 2008 4:14 pmWhat the?? We didn’t get to VOTE. That’s just not right, Lala.
You’re lucky it turned out as cute as it did. ; )

May 16th, 2008 4:21 pmBased on this alone, I would like to nominate myself to be your sister’s new best friend.

May 16th, 2008 4:51 pmYou and your sister are so adorable. I LOVE her new haircut – very flattering.

May 16th, 2008 5:33 pmWhatever it is that she does to make her hair look like that, I need to do too.

May 16th, 2008 5:36 pmOf course! Brenda…..how could you ever forget?

May 16th, 2008 5:45 pmYour sister’s hair looks great, and the 90210 thing is hilarious. Also, I am so sad that Hair Thursday is booked for the next eleventy seven months because my very very long, don’t know what to do with it, always in a ponytail mama hair really needs some help — but I just found this blog two days ago, so I think I have to get in line behind the entire rest of the female population of the United States. But I still love you anyway.

May 16th, 2008 8:49 pmTo be honest the only reason I want to go back to OKC is to see Lala. Shh. Don’t tell the others.

May 16th, 2008 9:25 pmOh my gosh her hair is super cute! I would cut mine if I could get it to behave like that, but alas it is not meant to be.

May 16th, 2008 9:53 pmWow, that is a terrific hair cut! VERY cute.
Angella
May 17th, 2008 7:23 amVery sleek and stylish!
(Yay Nightline!)

May 17th, 2008 7:27 amYour sister has now endeared herself to me for life. What can I say? I’m easy… if you can find a way to insert 90210 randomly into any conversation, there is no question you are a long lost soulmate of mine.

May 17th, 2008 10:58 amSaw Lala last night and the hair looks even better in person. You two have good hair genes. Well, good genes in general, but the hair is rockin’.

May 17th, 2008 8:40 pmAww…Your sister is gorgeous. Really! What’s up with all these pretty OKC ladies?
Sister Honey Bunch
May 18th, 2008 3:46 pmOh, your sister is SO my long-lost 90210 twin. I am freaking thrilled about the spin-off and the return of Kelly Taylor. What could be better???

May 18th, 2008 7:18 pmIf your sis looked any more similar to you, you’d be twins! Wow! Cute haircut!!

May 18th, 2008 8:39 pmThat is a conversation I could see myself having WITH MY HUSBAND.
Yes, I was a big-time fan myself, but he seriously remembers every detail. Sure, we watch reruns on SoapNet often, but still …
P.S. Lala looks great!

May 18th, 2008 9:32 pmLala…..super cute! I would have loved to get my hands on that hair of yours again! You do look even more like your sis now!

May 19th, 2008 3:57 amI love the pauses of slightly annoyed / judgmental silence – you captured the sister language perfectly!! I love lala’s smile :)
Valerie
May 19th, 2008 5:56 amOh yes, Kelly was PISSED about that!
Brenda was such the little attention whore.
Neil
May 19th, 2008 5:56 amI’m sure Nightline appreciates you comparing them to some newspaper from 90210.
Devon
May 19th, 2008 12:01 pmSo, the cut is AMAZING. Wherever did you get such a fabulous haircut?!?
Kerri Anne
May 19th, 2008 7:56 pmOooh, the new cut looks fantastic!
Shamelessly Sassy
May 19th, 2008 8:56 pmI totally remember what she’s talking about. woot woot!

May 21st, 2008 2:44 pmLala looks beautiful–she has the beautiful shiny Whoorl hair! I love her 90210 reference…sisters are the best!

May 22nd, 2008 2:04 pmI SO love that she worked 90210 into regular conversation. I do that all the time. She looks beautiful, and seriously? What does she put in her hair to make it so shiny and healthy looking????
