Magnets, Hair Clips, And Glue

Bow Tie o’ the Day is not only made of wood, and imprinted with tiny bow ties, it actually attaches to the shirt with a magnet. I simply pull its two magnets apart, put Bow Tie itself where I want it to be, then put the second magnet right behind it inside the shirt. This is the only bow tie I have that uses this method of attachment. Inventive. Kinda cool.

Bow Tie and I found ourself in the Aisle o’ Hairs Accessories. In case I haven’t griped about it enough, let me gripe in all-caps. I CAN’T STAND GROWING OUT MY HAIR! AND I BLAME Y’ALL! There. I’ve vented. I’m okay now.

Growing out my hairs wouldn’t be as bad if I hadn’t started doing it while I had an asymmetrical cut. Left side, long. Right side, shaved. This makes it constantly look more awkward than the usual I’m-growing-out-my-hairs awkward stages. Please don’t suggest possible hairstyles. I do not “do” my hairs. I just won’t. If I can’t just wash and wear it, I put a hat on it. Luckily, I like hats. And I like doo rags. Now I’m trying out hair clips.

And that’s how we ended up in the Aisle o’ Hairs Accessories. Oh, so many clippy choices for keeping my hairs out of my eyes! The bright, amusing-looking clips all seem to be for little girls, but they aren’t long enough to do the job well. Do grown women not like to have happy hair clips? Women’s clips are sorta la-dee-da. I split the difference: I got the least standy-outy women’s clips I could find AND I got some colorful little girl clips. Between the two sizes, I hope I can work something out. In fact, upon showing Suzanne my new hairs treasures, I ordered her to go immediately to her craft room to find her glue gun. I know she can glue some clips together into wearable clip sculptures worthy of clash fashion and bow ties. 👒
