I just returned to a flapper bob, and I love it! We shall be flappers together. 🙂

I’ll have to give this one a go, although I’m fairly fussy about this since it’s one of my favourite fairy tales. Hmmm.

Okay – I won’t be too jealous. It also turns out that my daughter wears hats very well. She already has a bigger collection than I ever did (she even has three different Hello Kitty trilby hats that she wears out.) I will live vicariously through her. 🙂

We need PHOTOS. And this book sounds very cute. I love the idea of updated fairy tales, though of course there are all sorts of perils involved (in the writing, rather than in the story, which one would expect). I’ll have to hope it crosses the ocean.

I really want to see photographic evidence of this flapper cut looking hella jaunty in a cloche hat!

In reply to Gin Jenny. At some point in high school I decided to become a Person Who Wears Hats. Alas, it didn't really work out and I mostly just felt silly.

In reply to Gin Jenny. What made me decide to finally cut it is that I was getting gray streaks at my temples, and since I always wore my long hair pulled away from my face, my hairstyle was too reminiscent of the bride of Frankenstein.... With the shoulder length cut, I just tuck it behind my ears.

In reply to Elisa @ Leopards and Dragons. I have an enormous bobble-head, and as a result I look good in hats. There are drawbacks though, and frankly, life does not offer all that money hat-wearing opportunities. So you do not have to be VERY jealous.

In reply to Jeanne. Yes! I did that for the longest time! And I did it when I was washing my hair too. My fingers would suddenly run out of wet hair to comb, and I'd be completely disoriented. What made you decide to finally cut yours?

In reply to aartichapati. And they appear pretty complicated!

In reply to The Literary Omnivore. Yes! and I loved it! If anything I liked that more than this, because I expected nothing from Mechanique. And then loved it. I hope you like it too! It's quite dark, as I recall -- actually, it's been a while, and I should reread it.
