Ivy League

Many of the blogs I read, including this one, have had posts regarding new haircuts and I was starting to get the itch myself for a new 'do. I finally settled on this one called Ivy League:


I finally got up the courage and went to the haircut place, or salon if you will, flashed this photo, and said to the stylist that I wanted to look as tough and awesome as this guy who obviously is a graduate of Princeton, Harvard, or Yale because of the way his hair has been cut and styled. And although I have settled for an education from a non-Ivy League school, I thought maybe I could fool some people with my snazzy haircut.

So after the most excruciating fifteen minutes of scissors snipping and electric clippers buzzing intermixed with some light conversation, I was finally finished.
Whew!!

I felt so relieved that the hard part was over, and the only pain I experienced was the grief at seeing all of my beautiful golden locks hitting the floor and the little apron the stylist put on me so the hair didn't get all over my clothes (wasn't that nice of her?).

So the end result comes to this:

Now don't be fooled by the obvious similarities in our two looks. There are some major differences between myself and the hot-looking model above. For one, I did NOT graduate from an Ivy League school, although my haircut would make you think otherwise. And two, the model is clearly wearing a sport coat and I am not. Crazy how well the stylist did in recreating this most awesome haircut!!

I am so excited to hear what everyone thinks about it, especially since so many of you commented on how cute Patrice looked. I'm sure there are those of you out there thinking, "Hmm.. This cut doesn't look any different than the last one." But to me, it's WAY different because the last "stylist" (if you can even call her that) left like 17 or 18 hairs at different lengths than the rest. You know, your basic butcher with scissors instead of a meat cleaver, although I would swear that's what was used last time. And don't worry if you think that it doesn't suit me, I look way hotter in person.
