untanglingknots.com: Letting My Hair Down

by Karla ° Saturday, July 23, 2005

Last weekend while the ‘rents were visiting, my dad looked over at me and asked, “When was the last time you let your hair down?”. I sort of gave him funny look, before I realized that since Ava died, I haven’t worn my hair down.

I’ve never been a hair up, pony tail type of gal, but something must have registered in my teeny tiny brain that letting my hair down would symbolize some form of fun or pleasure that I didn’t want myself to have.

Tonight I am letting that go. I am letting my hair down and Mark is taking me dancing.

(Retro ‘80’s anyone?)

If anyone has any blue eye shadow, shoulder pads or hairspray that I can borrow to help complete my ensemble, that would be great!

Thanks, and don’t wait up!

I hope you have a ton of fun tonight, and just remember, you can never have too much hairspray!!

I have shoulder pads! Trey keeps finding them shoved in drawers when I cut them out of things and wondering what in the world they are! He thinks I use them to stuff my bra!

Hey babe, the 80's was my prime time! However, I dressed more on the preppy side, as that was an alternate choice at the time.

I don't know anyone who dressed like your lovely model there. Although sadly, I am sure some people did.

Tell the band/DJ to crank up the volume and rock out! 80's music is great for dancing!

Oh how fun! I graduated high school in '87 (yes, I am 10 years older than you), so I lived those '80s first hand.

Hey how fun. We are having a 80's night at our neighbors on the 6th of August send the leg warmers my way.

i do agree with you that wearing my hair down is sort of a symbolic gesture of letting myself having fun.

i used to wear my hair down all the time, but since i took up this master's study and this huge responsiblity of buying our first property, i've not been wearing my hair down for months. i know i won't be able to let my hair down, until i have finished my study, sorted out the apartment and got a job.

but you are different, you deserve to have some chill-out good time. hope you had a ball at the fancy party, it sounds fun!!
