Praha 54, or an Excerpt from A Night At 16 Vinohradska

"No, really, I could fix it! Look, your hair's been straightened, ultimately defeated anyway - what's a trim on top of that? It would look so pretty, please please please let me do it!"

"Um, well, I...you have to understand, Sally, I don't do haircuts."

"You 'didn't do' straight hair either. Come on. It would look so much better, so much healthier, I'm telling you."

"But...I...I have this thing. With long hair. People used to call me Sam sometimes, you know, like Sampson? Who got all his strength from his hair?"

"Right, and you're being weird. I promise I won't take off more than is actually dead. You see this? This is dead hair."

"But isn't all hair dead? Isn't it dead protein? Isn't that the point of hair??"

From another room...

"Dane, let her do it!"

"Damnit. Okay. But if I feel you taking off more than the barest possible minimum, I'll bleach your hair with clorox while you're sleeping."

"There is no clorox. This is the Czech Republic. Nice try, now go get me a towel and some scissors and a comb."

An hour and a half, sixteen insults, lots of deep breathing, small panic attacks later...



Here it is, folks. I call it the Sexy Muppet Look.

Hey Dane
My hair was very much like yours when I was your age. I promised to show Aliyah a picture of me as a teenager with my hair relatively long. It is growing in again after chemo and it is now getting long enough to have some curl back, Yeah. I was not looking forward to straight hair.
Have a good trip home.
