Retro by Weezilou

Retro

Tacky "Tiki Chic" ...
...so I started with an idea to share how long my hair is growing, with no haircut in the foreseeable future...not a happy thing for those of us with short hair... I see this pushing back into the very late 70s, approaching the "Farrah Flip"...

...Magnum PI and Hawaii 5-0 in much the same era...so I decided to frame up with something tropical...and I definitely needed some retro sunglasses...

It's Friday, so toss in a flamingo for good measure...

4:20, and there goes another good day! Still trying to decide what to have for dinner... Better make it a good one...

(Just reread where I wrote yesterday that today I would create "something/anything"...yep, this fills that low expectation! haha!)

(Was I having fun? "Yep! You betcha!")
still looks great

hahah -- yes, even the Flamingo Friday appearance so naturally made. This is so fun I would expect to see a new portrait every month you go without a haircut. Me? I only cut my hair twice a year anyway. And this isn't the month.

Great one to elicit a much needed laugh today! And despite the longer 'do' you look great!
April 18th, 2020  
Delightful! You are very talented.

You've made my day Louise, nothing like a good laught to brighten things up no end.

I know exactly what you mean about haircuts. I normally have my mop chopped every four weeks or my strong curly hair just keeps growing outwards ever closer to cobweb-broom status. My last haircut was, deliberately, a very, very close cut with clippers. I hope by the time it grows back to what passes for normal some of the restrictions will be lifted.

Oh my goodness this made me laugh out loud! Fabulous is the word that springs to mind! Such a glamorous look - I’m liking the hair so far! I am dreading what mine will look like by the time I can finally go to a hairdressers- I suspect a three inch white hairline! Oh no I will start to look like my mother who was pure white! I suspect that’s what’s under my “natural” brown!🤣🤣🤣

@lesip @jyokota @taffy @365karly1 @golftragic @pamknowler
I got another of those list of "Dark Humo(u)r" jokes today...my favorite of the day, apropos to this:
"If you thought Toilet Paper was crazy...
Just wait until 300 million people all want a haircut!"
Thanks for your comments and sharing in the joke!

@jyokota Well, Lucky You! I get a hair cut every 3 weeks and color every other time... I got in just before the doors slammed behind me! I can see doing this again in another month, but it gives me a shudder when you say "a new portrait 'every month'... **NOOooooooo!** I only ever let it grow out the first 9 mo I was pregnant...it wasn't all that wonderful even then, and that's when I could get away with a ponytail! (Let's not go there again!)
April 18th, 2020  
Ha,ha...Well I will be cutting my own hair for now. I like it short :).
April 18th, 2020  
What fun! Great frame and flamingo!
April 18th, 2020  
Fun edit Louise. Like the flamingo and your hair’s not that long...yet.
April 18th, 2020  
a wonderful image and a great laugh! I think you look great and your hair is still perfect.

@Weezilou Well I know that @taffy is also committed to regular hair appointments and she always looks great, too. I just can't be bothered that often, and it used to drive my mother crazy that I wouldn't put more effort into my hair. She always thought my hair needed styling (she was a regular hair cut/perm/color person). At one point she even wanted me to buy a hair piece to "fix" the cowlick/bit of a balding place in the back but why should it bother me?

What a fun photo. Your are correct. It reminds me EXACTLY of Farrah Fawcett.
April 18th, 2020  
Oh I so wanted Farrahs hair!!! So glad I'm a regular at my hairdresser, once a year!!

Love your selfie
April 18th, 2020  
oh no, how hard can I laugh you wonder - well I just found out!
April 18th, 2020  
Thanks for a much needed laugh, you look fabulous!
April 18th, 2020  
So much fun! I hear you on the hair thing!
April 18th, 2020  
Hahaha, pretty much tongue-in-cheek, love your narrative and your selfie is just great!
April 18th, 2020  
Looks like you had a lot of fun with this Louise. I can manage 6 weeks between haircuts but it's not a problem here. Our hairdressing salons are still open but they have to abide by strict conditions regarding social distancing and sanitising.
April 18th, 2020  
Fun composite and you are looking good.
April 18th, 2020  
Fun selfie
April 18th, 2020  
Love it, so creative!
April 18th, 2020  
Your hair looks great.
April 18th, 2020  
Totally You. That's how I imagine you.
Lovely selfie and very creative editing.
April 18th, 2020  
@pyrrhula "Totally Me", yes, I suppose, when I'm being silly : ) @mbrutus hahaha! You and Ferry! ...what you've both said...haha...in my dreams...40 years ago!!!
April 19th, 2020  
I guess you have a lot of fun at home... :-)
Very nice collage.
April 19th, 2020  
Maybe you just arrived to Fantasy Island? Or The Love Boat? :)
April 20th, 2020  
@sunnygirl Good call! I forgot about those! It was sort of a "tropical time zone"!
April 20th, 2020  
Wow looking good Louise!
April 20th, 2020
