On Foresight
Walking in on my friends and I doing each other’s hair in increasingly avant garde styles for the high school disco, my mother declared:
“Stacey why don’t you try something new and different, like a bun?”
Hearing her describe perhaps the most boring and dowdy of hairstyles in such a way was so hilarious, that it’s since become something of a catch phrase with those of us who were there. However, the hairstyles we eventually chose were atrocious - even for the times - and seeing what’s in fashion these days, I can’t help wondering if my mother was just 9 years ahead of the curve.
