Tiny Fences0
Vicki needed models for two hair photo sessions at Blanche Macdonald: avant-garde and editorial. So I was both. It was fun! Sitting in the salon chair for the whole day, having crazy things done to my hair while Vicki and 17 other hairstylists bustled about their models. Google Image Search ‘avant-garde hair’ if you have no idea what I’m referring to - I saw girls with all sorts of things in their hair: feathers, fluorescent green, whole bouquets of fake flowers.. and wine bottles?
When my hair was being back-combed into a large tangle it looked kind of tornado-like so someone joked that Vicki should run with that theme. In the end, I had two large styrofoam balls wrapped in hair attached to my head and some other craziness I can’t quite explain. I get the professional photos soon and will Flickr them. But I still wish she took my suggestion of putting tiny cows and Monopoly houses in the hair tornado.
