"Why do you not pay for professional attentions?", I enquire soothingly, squinting at the cuttings in the bin and the perpendicular wing jutting out over his left ear. "Hair grows", he mutters back, smoothing down his bouffant, "and I do not want to go to the hairdresser every fortnight".
As his argument is based in actual scientific logic, and as no amount of death threats and bubble-nosed weeping will convince him otherwise, I am trying to be 'positive' and 'see the good in the situation' in an attempt to 'compromise'. Is home hair-cutting something we could do together, perhaps? Might there be even more fun to be had from cutting hair at home?
Either way, all this recent chat has meant that my attentions have, of late, been almost entirely focused on hair trends. And what better place to study recent hair advances than Paris, centre of the international fashion-style world?
"But what is the result of all this chat about hairstyling?", I hear you cry. "And what can you, Non-workingmonkey, share with us as a result of your travels?". The answer is simple, my friends: now, this very afternoon, I can share with you the four directional key hair trends for Autumn/Winter 2007. Get crimping!

I saw someone with dreadful hair yesterday, actually. Dreadful enough for me to turn to my friend and spit, "How ANYONE could pay GOOD MONEY to have that sort of BASTARD CHILD OF ROBERT SMITH AND A BIRD'S NEST transplanted onto their heads is BEYOND ME."
I should really have waited until we'd passed him, I suppose.
Did you take a photograph? Was it Winehouse?
It's uncanny! You appear to have spent half your holiday in 1972!
Suddenly, it all makes sense.
Mutual tonsury can be very rewarding. But, I'd leave the hair that is displayed in public to the professionals.
LOL...what were they thinking...
(my hubby cuts HIS own hair but does a very decent job)
I discovered your blog while you were en vacances..hilarious!
No, although I agree that my off-the-cuff remark is applicable to that ridiculous structure on Winehouse's head too.
This was a pale, freckly, wispy bloke with very fine hair, obviously naturally very fair, which he'd dyed pitch black and had "styled" into a sort of mullet, which was combed into a peak on the crown of his head, and then left to straggle miserably down his neck and shoulders.
Should have taken a photo. Really should have. Bugger.
if it helps, i also cut my own hair. it's simply because i have no influence with any hair dresser i've even been to, and refuse to pay good money for looking like ringo starr when i specifically requested that i be styled like audrey hepburn in "sabrina".
yes, i know i look foolish, but i am a fool with money in my pocket, money that can be spent to tranquilize my ire away. the kind of money i couldn't have left over after visiting a french-canadian hair dresser. (and i ought to know, as i live there as well)
Kermit. How does this help me?
Katy. You know for next time. Also, the cat is yours.
