Hee cute! I don't have that one, but when I was little I used to collect Barbies. I had one with super long blond hair that came with this twister tool. You put her in a salon chair (also comes with the doll) and put two sections of her hair into the twister. Put the twister on setting 1 and repeatedly press the handle. this twisted each section individually. THen, you put it on setting 2, repeatedly press the handle, and it twisted the two sections together into a rope. You could even use the tool on your own hair. Loved it!

Heehee, Barbie, the essence of the good old early nineties Tongue

Morticia started a wonderful thread on another board, and I have to crosspost this:

1. Love your hair, it's not a pet, it's not something you talk about in third person. Well. Um. except for that last part.
2. Good haircare isn't complicated.
3. Hair is also not my entire existence, nor my entire online existence, just most of it. Very interesting things happen in between, and a happy life involves incorporating the existence of very happy hair. (MOTHRA the cat, et al. Mothra is the perfect longhair because she's completely oblivious to her beautiful natural long-hairedness)
4. There is always someone out there who respects your hair, and respects you as a person. Keep that in mind and make your votes count; and while you're at it, make someone's day. I feel so honored to be mentioned by Morticia. We're hair twins, and she has such healthy lovely hair that I wish I could have started with.
5. If you're on hair boards at weird hours, then long hair is your passion. (Likewise if you're doing anything at weird hours, then it's your passion.)
6. Don't forget your reasons and philosophies for growing your long hair, nor your reasons and philosophies for spending time with long hair boards.

It's lacking that weight, that swing, but at the same time, I'm getting strands that are separate from each other. Strands move by themselves, instead of in wavy or curly sections. Verdict: I like how CO'd hair LOOKS, and I like how shampoo'd hair FEELS.

Fly swatting, like camel-spotting, is difficult
Reply #93 - Jul 24^th, 2005 at 4:46am

Tried again, in vain, to swat the fly - and initially thought it was gone. It's still flying around somewhere. I'll see him every now and then. If it takes that long to swat the darned creature, I might have to give it a name eventually. (How about Fred?) There is also no fly swatter in the house. Fly swatters are much better than any magazine because it allows for air flow, so as to not disturb the air immediately before the surface hits the fly, and that buys you a split second.

This apartment does not meet Ideal Fly Swatting Conditions (IFSC). IFSC involves the following:

(1) Lots of blank wall space, to give good contrast between the fly and everything that is not the fly. Ideal fly swatting rooms include the bathroom, the bathroom, and well, the other bathroom. Do not use a vacuum cleaner under any circumstance.

(2) minimal floor clutter, for ease of movement while swatting said fly. Eliminates most rooms in the house.

(3) no bookcases, because flies are amazingly hard to swat on a bookcase, especially when the books are not lined up properly

(4) minimal plants, which rules out most rooms in the house that have not been ruled out already

(5) A window, or two, which at least provides a flat surface with light for contrast.

(6) A screen door with a glass door. (*optional, for freeing the fly when it lands on the screen)

Reply #94 - Jul 25^th, 2005 at 7:36pm

Fred the Fly is still exploring my apartment and memorizing its features. I wonder if flies ever get tired of flying. It seems to be all they do. They can't stay in one place long enough before someone or something begins to notice (that applies to civilized flies only of course). Did I mention how much I hate these critters?

blarg. Flies! Bah humbug! Tongue

FREED HIM!
Reply #97 - Jul 25^th, 2005 at 11:19pm

I got Fred!!!! (in the most humane way possible, too) He landed on the screen door, so I took the opportunity to shut the glass one. Then I opened it a crack and stuck my arm in to open the screen. Fly away free now Grin

My my, if Cronenberg were here,....

Bah buzzbug Tongue

That's a new one, heehee Grin

Hair and henna. My hair takes color really well. I hennaed a hairblob the other week with Prabda henna and it's turned out wonderfully. There's no post-henna color bleeding, even when washed half of the blob with Pert Plus (yes, Ammonium Lauryl Sulfate) and scrubbed like hades. I love the color. My hair is dark enough that henna would be subtle. I'm just afraid that I'd get roots, because of my porous hair, this color is certainly going to be stubborn with a capital S.

henna, cuticle pictures
Reply #99 - Jul 26^th, 2005 at 9:40pm

Thanks NaturalRogue

The henna pictures will have to wait though... Wink

I need to place a real order of henna sometime in the far future. According to my Hair Auntie's usage, I'll need 200 grams. What's left of my henna sample isnt enough for more than a small whisp of bangs. I'm probably going to start by hennaing a portion of my bangs (side part), then henna my whole head when I finally reach the target length of tailbone. That's a slight change from the original plan (originally hip length) as a reward for my hard-to-find patience. And considering how the sample hairblob turned out, I know it will look gorgeous when it's finally done.

Hair. Rheo emailled me two pictures of my hair under a sort of micrometer scope device. She's so terrific! *hugs* She also mentioned that my hair strand is big and round.
I can't believe the hair sample looks so undamaged with the cuticle lying flat. The cuticle also looks like it has some iridescent stuff, as if one of my products shines weirdly. It's probably the cone. However the last hairwash was July 19th, and it was a COW-CC with very little conditioner in the COW. Then there was VERY little conage. It makes me wonder if I removed a hair (for Rheo) before or after the wash, or if that was just leftover cone residue.

Added personal product reviews to page 1 of journal.

FINISHED COMMISSION!!!
Reply #100 - Jul 27^th, 2005 at 6:56am

Hair. Washed today at 5:00 pm with a COW-CC again, but more CC than usual, and back to more cones. We are out of ACV so shampoo is my only route at this time. However this time my hair feels truly CO'd even though it actually is not. It's in a braid & SUE, no scrunchie.

I finally finished the book commission! FINALLY!

After so long. Just a few Chinese pinyin spellings to doublecheck and get translations for, and it's off to the publisher. I'm so happy Grin

From now on I'm only translating birth certificates and brochures.
Oh, and as a reward for my finishing the commission I am totally getting another corset with the hard-earned payment to ... MOI... and this time from Meschantes because it's much more affordable than independent corset commissions. Oh to give my back a good long rest! The back pain has certainly gotten worse, mainly from sitting on a high barstool at this computer every day, and leaning forward to use the keyboard.

YESSSSSSS! *boing!*

I'm listening to Georgia On My Mind by Ray Charles, thinking of my loving Bear because he loves Georgia, and thinking that we'll be able to see each other again soon because I won't be working on Mondays anymore. We've been wanting desperately to spend more quality time together but it just hasn't been working well with the commission still alive. Now I've effectively killed it, by finishing it to death. And work kills my relationships.

Oh! My ! Yes ! WOWIE ZOWIE! 8) Grin

Grats on the book (and the upcoming corset) :-D I think corsets are so pretty. I didn't know they are functional for back problems - that's neat. Do you have to wear one all the time, or just when doing a lot of moving around?

Cynde

PS - your hair strand is fascinating! Looks like it's doing well. What part of the hair was that - the top or the end?

Reply #103 - Jul 28^th, 2005 at 8:06pm

Thanks BB and Cynde

Cynde, I don't know what end it is, but I'm happy to see it regardless. As for the corset, I wear it when I have to sit up for long periods of time (especially computer time) or housework. Although.. my pain is very mild compared to other cases, and it's basically due to improper positioning and strain (especially during sleep or long periods of sitting improperly). A corset is SOOO amazing for posture. However it would probably only be appropriate for these milder cases and not *serious* back pain that has to do with misalignment of discs, etc. In a case like that, it would be better to consult with a chiro or your usual MD.
