Packing and a Hot Makeover
Posted on February 8, 2010 · Filed Under hair thursday, i love products, photos · 25 Comments
1. You all. I feel as though I will never stop unpacking. Whenever I tell myself that YES INDEED THAT DAY WILL COME, the angsty lyric “never ever ever ever, don’t you even think it” plays in a loop throughout my brain. (At the end of “Joe Lies.” In Say Anything! Duh.) Here is a snapshot of the one room I FEEL as though I’ve spent days on.
This is probably the most organized room in the house as of 2:46pm PST.
(Long ass sigh.)
2. Since I will undoubtedly be huffing cardboard for the remainder of the week, please enjoy a new video series entitled Gone Style’s Five Minute Makeover. (Then you can explain to me how I got so lucky as to work with Rebecca Woolf and Josie Maran because, well, DUDE.)
Well, That Was Fun.

Thanks to a very patient cousin (who spent his Sunday evening converting this video from television to computer instead of 12,000 much more exciting activities), I have procured Friday’s Rachael Ray segment for your viewing pleasure.
A couple of notes regarding the segment.
1. This was filmed over a year ago. My “20-month-old toddler” is going to be three in less than a month. THREE. Hand me the Kleenex, my baby’s growing up!
2. I seriously have no recollection of talking to Rachael for that length of time. I am now fully convinced I had an out-of-body experience on set.
3. How fantastic was my friend and fellow blogger, Rebecca? She’s beyond lovely.
4. In typical D fashion, when we finished watching the segment, he looked at me and said, “Great job, sweets, BUT WHAT IN THE HELL DID THE PRODUCERS DO TO OUR COLLAGE WALL?” I explained to him that during my at-home interview, the lights were reflecting off some of our artwork, creating a glare, so they pulled them off the wall. This caused him great distress, my friends.
So! Being the sweet (ha) and understanding (ha ha) wife that I am, I have decided to make an announcement to the world. Hey world! You probably would have NEVER IN A MILLION YEARS noticed this, but look at our jacked-up collage wall! At the 30-second mark! QUELLE HORREUR!
Ahhh, living with an interior designer. I’m not sure he is going to fully recover.

The Cool Me:
I’ll be appearing on the Rachael Ray Show this Friday, July 10th. Tune in to watch a fun Hair Thursday makeover with help from celebrity stylist, Rodney Cutler!
The Real Me:
OMG. OMG. Please don’t let me look like a douchebag on national television. OMG. OMG.
Also, what is this all about?
Brutally honest solution? WHAT DOES THAT MEAN?
“Hey! You over there! You are a very ugly person! You would look much better with this Gwyneth Paltrow-inspired hairstyle!”
OMG.
Do You Need a New ‘Do?

Are you going to Chicago for Blogher next month? Don’t you think a new hairstyle would make it the best trip EVER?
If so, check out this contest hosted by Susan, Heather and Danielle. It’s pretty damn awesome, so don’t dilly-dally! Leave your submission in the comments section of one of the above ladies’ posts before midnight on July 3rd.
And what do I have to do with this contest? I’m a Very Important Judge, chicas. From Susan’s post:
All entries will be judged by the lovely ladies of Sparrow and by the super-talented Whoorl of Hair Thursday. Don’t even try sucking up to them; they’re hard core about this hair thing. Seriously.
You see? I’m hard core about this hair thing. And super-talented. BWAHAAAHAAAAA.
(However, I do accept monetary bribes.)
(FINE. I don’t accept bribes. Sheesh.)
