Cuts, Curls, and Catastrophes

Spring fever is to blame for any number of hasty decisions. The feeling of restlessness that follows winter’s chill and inactivity often prompts our literary friends to burst out of their shells, just like tulips and daffodils, desperate for a change. That change is not infrequently directed to the human head. Specifically? Our impulsive friends reach for the scissors, curling rods, or hair dye when longing for a new look. Now, many times the results are just as lovely and welcome as they hoped they would be. But sometimes . . . well, sometimes regret is the stronger emotion. Throughout our time together today, we’ll highlight some of the more humorous hair escapades, as well as a few of the lovely successes. Now, these scenes aren’t necessarily all set in the spring, but I do hope you’ll indulge me, as we turn the pages toward these literary cuts, curls, and catastrophes.
