Current Mood : Resigned.
The shaky peace with
Ginger-kitty continues, and I’ve reached a total failure / surrender with
Howleen’s hair. The cat’s still doin’ what she’s doin’, I just try not to get
too hyper about it. Slowly but surely, she’s beginning to avoid the rest of my
desk, and that’s all I can ask for.
Howleen’s hair, on the other
hand…(sigh) Remember not too long ago, Mattel started making these Barbie dolls
with white, fluffy hair that had the texture of cotton candy ? You may have
forgotten that on purpose, it was the worst doll hair ever, and made troll doll
hair look good in comparison. They weren’t made for long, probably due to
complaints, because if that fiber was cheaper, we’d still have Barbie sporting
it.
I was reminded of that
debacle when I went to brush out Howleen’s boil-rinsed hair. Ick. It wasn’t all
over wool, but parts of it were, and I had no idea how to fix it. Just straight
and down, it was ugly. And redoing it with braids to add body was a total fail
as well, but at least it didn’t make her hair any worse. And I was happy it was
no longer poofy, too, and thank Everything I kept her bangs outta the hot water
! I’d about made up my mind to give her a pagegirl, but that wasn’t working
either. It looked frayed and flyaway, and wouldn’t stay in the rubber bands
well.
By the time I got the
pagegirl setup out of her hair, I was halfway between ‘reroot’ and ‘buy another
Howleen’, but in the end, I just pulled it back in a simple nape-neck ponytail.
And I rather liked it that way. So, there she is, after Fearleader practice. I
may try to do more with it later, but I confess, I’m darn near scared to try !
