Another Wacky Week of Wonderful Work

My favorite hair style of the night, which I will attempt once I find my cheekbones again

This has been another one of those weeks that I love.

Last week we spent preparing for a hair show that happened Monday night. It was fierce! The lead stylist was Japanese and hearing her speak was wonderful because she was amazingly polite and profusely thankful. All of this was in Japanese, so I'm just going by the tone and the repeated 'domo', 'arigato' etc and the bowing.

Here's a pix from the night. Not taken by me, although I wish I had as much skill and such super canggih equipment. The photographer is Michael Sin.

Have you seen 'camera envy'? I was sitting with some of the photographers and they were checking out each others equipment surreptitiously. Quite funny until I got caught up in it too and begin lusting after the super long lens and the extra powerful flash and the battery pack. Even with my kit lens at it highest zoom it didn't help much...sad, sad, sad.

Still it was a great night for hair design watching as there were 500+ stylist there and they pulled out all the stops and had unbelievable hair styles, and some super funky styles.

The next day was packed with interviews... in Japanese. Sho kawai!!!!

Wednesday, I'm still at it preparing for my mini break that starts in 6 hours or so, and I'm not packed yet. There is a place beyond panic where things take on a scary clarity - I'm right there at this moment. Also 6 cups of coffee.

What does this have to do with the Malakoff Charity Ride?

Well, I did ask every other person I met there if they ride - some of the answers were hilarious and not suitable for a family type blog, so I will leave it to your imagination.
