Wow, thanx, you guys! Cheesy It means more than you know.

The interview was quite brief, but seemed to go rather well. They'll be interviewing people all week, but said that things looked good, so I may be called for a second interview. We'll see.
Unfortunately, I was only able to grab this one pic while I was there:
...

Last night, my father and I did end up getting together with the band. None of them were angry with me for not going last week...and Lizard found my percussion instruments.
    And just when I was convinced that I had nothing in common with Grateful Ed, it turns out he's a fan of Echo & The Bunnymen, and even photographed them back in 1986 when he worked for Rolling Stone. Epic! He's going to see them at Coachella this weekend.
    Speaking of the Bunnymen, their first album just happened to be spinning in my car's CD player on the way home. It wasn't the first time my father had heard them, but the first time he'd verbalized his disdain. Shocked Totally figures. He hates almost every band worth their salt, poor fellow. Roll Eyes

Spoke with former band brother Moon Pie this morning as he explained how unemployment extensions work. He once told me that if I ever had any questions about unemployment that I only had to ask him, and he was able to put some of my fears to rest. I now have a much better understanding of what to expect from this point onward. Bless his heart. And his experience. And his easy going attitude. I love that guy. Smiley

Anyway, in hair news, I wore what was probably the worst double bun updo ever to the interview yesterday. All wonky and heavily cemented into place with hairspray and aloe gel. Tongue
    Washed this morning with Dove cucumber & green tea shampoo, then left the Intensive Repair treatment in until the end of my shower, where I rinsed and chased it with the cucumber & green tea conditioner. After all that, it became a tangled mess and I knew there was a problem. When it finally dried, I learned exactly what that problem was.
    Without any leave-ins at all, Dove products have left a heavy slime coat on my hair, as if I'd dunked it in a 10 gallon barrel of serum. Tongue It's braided and out of the way now, but I can't even touch it without getting my hands slimy.

So I've made a new ACV rinse for tomorrow when I'll have to WCC all over again...with different products. The Dove is awaiting new orders in my car wash bucket.

Gaaaaaahhhhh, did the cast of Glee seriously just cover a Doors song?! ... We may now be assured that poor ol' Jimbo's bones are spinning in their Parisian grave. This one's for you, man.

Curlgirl: Perhaps if it was raining. I'd be more inclined to park underground and take the elevator. Wink

Hair: Still slimy. Tongue Instead of washing and stripping it to death, I'm just going to keep with my normal wash routines and just let the extra business filter out gradually. Leave-ins will be left out as I believe they're still suspect. Contained styles are mandatory for disguising the mess. Man, do I miss my headbands. Undecided Perhaps I'll get some jewels at Michaels and make a few more gothy headbands to distract myself from my hair's unhappy condition.

Etc.: The company called yesterday and invited me back for a second interview on Tuesday, so it's looking good. I honestly wasn't expecting to hear from them so soon, if at all. I already have a plan to do my hair, nails and makeup differently than last time. They're dealing with a capricious artist after all. Wink

Anyway, time to hop in the shower...which brings about 2 more points: my sister's bf does indeed farmer blow in the shower. I heard him do it twice this morning. Tongue Tongue Tongue Nasty.

Ahem. But in the spirit of clean, check these epic rubber duckies!

Good to know about the Dove products; I've been tempted to try them and now know why I haven't.  Love the rubber duckies.   Smiley  And way to go on scoring a second interview!   Cool    Keeping you in my thoughts as usual, love.

Curlgirl: Indeed. Let's hope it goes as well as the first, yes?

Trisha: Don't be fooled by the shiny packaging or implied gentleness in the name. Dove is the supreme evil of haircare. The James Moriarty in a complex and sinister network of conspirators whose sole mission is to lure unsuspecting consumers into slime-sodden ruin. Shocked At least this is what I've come to believe after falling victim to their products.

Thank you for keeping me in mind. I truly appreciate the support. Smiley

Hair: Washed the entire length with Suave Kids 2-in-1 Smoothers in the orange mango outburst scent. Oh my God! Shocked Not only does it smell enticing enough to eat, it actually leaves my hair clean, smooth and not dried out. Something typically unheard of among Suave products. Easily a product that I could use for years, if not forever. And under $2 a bottle - eureka! Cheesy

Followed with an ACV rinse and Pantene Volume conditioner. No leave-ins. Hair is cleaner, but still slicked with Dove residue. Evil, evil stuff. I'll clarify on Monday and hope that takes care of it. Otherwise this is going to be a long and grueling process. Undecided

Staying up rather late last night, my efforts were entirely focused on cutting and tying strips of tulle, velvet, lace and ribbon to make this freaky deaky hair accessory:

...

When I was a kid, one of our neighbours made hair accessories for her 3 daughters and once made some for my sister and I, so I basically took one of her ideas and modified it to fit my own style. Can't wait to try this thing with my twisted updo.

Still need to get crystals for my next headband project. I went to Michaels yesterday but couldn't decide what I wanted. Today I have a clearer idea...time to play around and create! Cheesy

Etc.: Yes, I missed Coachella...but I never was a fan anyway. My band brother Grateful Ed is there with his wife. With any luck, they'll get a few good pix for me.

But the summer concert boom is coming: Heart in May, Peter Frampton & Joan Jett and the Blackhearts in July, BB King & Buddy Guy in August...at least a few shows worth seeing, should I have the chance.

Anyroad, I'm off to grab a bite, then back to Michaels. Cheers!

Thanx, MichelleR!

Today's routine was a simple CW with blended conditioner and diluted TRESemmé shampoo. My hair is still damp, so it's still too early to determine, but I think the residual Dove evilness is beginning to diminish significantly. Finally!
Style wise, I wanted to do a flipped ponytail today, which requires at least a leave-in conditioning spray, so I used Kenra Daily Provision.

Tomorrow will be a clarifying day and I've already made an ACV rinse.

After 2 days of Sinatra and hot glue burns, I've finished another headband. Detail on this one has a cluster of bling & black pearls over layers of black/silver lace, fishnet, crushed velvet and tulle.
...

Unlike its predecessor, I can't wait to wear this one in public. Wink Of course I finished it right as mandatory updo weather commences. Tongue

Speaking of which, with the temps coming back up, it would be great to hit the beaches on the regular again. It's been way too long and I'm dying to get back out on the ol' Morey board. Need someone to go with though. Undecided


Your Left Part Says You're Creative and Funky

...

You are naturally artsy and a little kooky. You do and see things in a very unique way.
Forget marching to the same beat as everyone else... you don't even hear the same beat as everyone else.

You have always been a very independent person. Years ago you stopped even trying to fit in.
Your very comfortable in your own skin. If people can't handle your eccentricities, that's their problem... not yours!

What Does Your Part Say About You?

Congrats on the second interview!!  I will think good thoughts, cross my fingers and throw in a small petition to the goddess.  My husband was without a permanent full time job for 4 yrs.  Believe me, I know what you are going thru.  I have been thinking of you often and reading your posts since the day you posted that you were out of work.

Bless your heart, Melusine. Thank you! The support here is really something else. I love you guys. Kiss

Clarified today. Haaaallelujah! Dove residue - gone! Conditioned with Kenra Nourishig Masque and Kenra Daily Provision was the only leave-in. Neither built up or left anything undesirable behind. Style was a single braid.

Tomorrow's the big day. Nails are dressed in silver and I'm thinking a flipped rope braid for the hair. Fingers crossed...

You in Love: You're very passionate but often too busy for love. You need a partner who sees your vision and adopts it as their own.

Your Career: You need a job that helps you make a difference. You have a bright future as a guru, politician, teacher, or musician.
