I haven't read the post yet but I wanted to be the first commenter. Stalk stalk...

Once you've answered the questions, does the meme become a yuyu?

Wow, that's two comments in a row!

now threeeee

But you are a writer!

A good one.

Even my mom says so, and my mom, she knows writers.

The 'do is fab! Don'tcha feel like a million bucks now? Screw that, a bazillion bucks! Aharon sounds like a keeper of a soul-soothing stylist aficianado extraordinaire. =) Happy Hump Day!

Aharon and Aneta and you and your hair look beautiful. And you have such a rosy glow. Do they serve cocktails at this fancy-pants Beverly Hills salon?

Why yes they do, Madeleine... it takes the edge off the huge bill, LOL.

Laurie!
So glad you stayed with the gorgeous shade of blonde instead of going red! Aharon really knows his stuff! We're hoping to see your newly trimmed goldilocks in person on Thursday at the WeHo SnB, upstairs at the Farmers Market, 3rd and Fairfax! (stalk, stalk).

Ellen B.

Oooo. VERY pretty hair.

I've been lurking on your blog for awhile (bad Cara, no Comments) and want to tell you that Sobakowa looks so much like my dearly departed cat (especially with a pissed off face), it makes me smile.

Happy Humpday right back at ya!

Stalk! Stalk!

Hair looks great, but more importantly, I think I will call you Dr. Laurie from now on.

how many freakin Cara's are they in this world anyway? thank you Laurie crazy mother of cats for doing the meme.I knew it would be funny to read.And how come all the dude guys with blogs comment on your blog and not mine? ok maybe don't answer that one heh

Your hair looks great and I think the Israeli has the hots for you. No, just kidding.

I feel like a loser too because no dude guys comment on my blog either (except for Mr. Yarn and he doesn't count)

It's so nice to see the pure and innocent love that occurs between woman and stylist. Especially cute Israeli stylists.

Also, "hump wisely and well" is my new life philosophy.

yes yes aharon is wise to refuse to color your hair but what is really important here is his shirt. I MUST have his shirt.

Also, I must have an assistant.

I think we should keep calling her Raulie.I like that one better.btw the dude commented on my blog.Now I feel special. ;0)

i don't get any men commenting on my blog either except when i was ranting politically months ago. but i guess it's just as well. i'd be all worried about my hair and my weight and whether or not i had stuff in my teeth.

maybe that's why i haven't had a decent haircut in years. i don't hug my stylist. of course my stylists haven't looked that good.

OOoohhh! I so need me an Aharon in my life...if for nothing else then the great pirate tshirt he's wearing...

So glad you stayed blonde...we blondes need to stick together!

I want Aharon to do my hair. Or at least give me some advice about some stuff. He is a wise one, Grasshopper. Keep him around. ESPECIALLY since he makes you all cute and stuff.

Now I know why I can't get a decent haircut locally--all the good Israeli hairdressers are in LA! Tell Aharon to get his cute T-shirt back home so I can get some good hair advice, or at least ask him if he has a brother who never left home but does hair amazingly, will you?

Yeah, the Palos Verdes stylists have assistants too.

Oh, and CRAP, I was gonna tag you for that meme, but I wasn't gonna post my stuff until tomorrow. Oh well. Looking forward to the middle of May!

Oh, Aharon...*swoon*...and so TALL... I just knew he was Israeli with that name! He does good work...and there's always time to go red in the future.

Right now I've been tempted to go purple. Cause I'm a-gonna be working from home, and can therefore get away with it and am braver than I was in high school and college when I first wanted purple hair. *cackle*

Oh, the fun ways we deal with change... ;-)

Someday I may have to tell you the short and boring story of having my heart broken by a hair stylist with a Warren Beatty in Shampoo complex.

As for the assistants, I think we should all create imaginary assistants. Of course it wouldn't be as great as the real thing, but I think I'm going to start saying, "Oh I'll have Hortense take care of that.".

I actually met someone who did that. She was the organizer of a conf. my company was exhibiting at. Her company would create fake contact names for each conference. Ver-r-r-r-y strange.

Hey, I was a scientist (but I got better!) and you *can* call me doctor. Only you wouldn't want me to treat you. I am told that cracked ribs and sternums from overenthusiastic CPR are somewhat uncomfortable.

I have an assistant, well sorta, maybe when she isn't doing everything that everyone higher up than me have asked her to do (ie I do it all myself instead so I guess that doesn't really count).

And you'll get blokes commenting on your blog if you put pics of your hot pussies. It worked for me! Once....

Can Aharon fix my Mommy's hair? It is horrible. She has two sets of roots! AND one day (I wish I could say she was drunk but she was sober) she cut a bunch of her hair on top of her head so it would stick straight up! And it DID! And it looks RETARDED! Now she uses all kinds of goop to make sure it doesn't stick up.
Mommy's friend gives her and Daddy 'Chemo Cuts' - totally politcally incorrect - and frankly after she is done with them they do look like they have been through chemotherapy...
OHHH AHARON!!!! HELPPPP MY MOMMMMYYYY!!!!!!!!

I need to find a good place to get my hair done. It's only been like 2 years... You look great!

You are so adorable! I love that "I just got my hair done!" feeling. Knock 'em dead!

"Hump wisely and well" should probably go on a t-shirt. And Laurie? You *are* a writer (which is why I stalk you).

i'm unemployed and have an assistant. her name is binky and she's my secret friend. can't you see her? she's sitting right here.

stalkie stalkie.

Hey, at least you didn't do what I did and shave the ol' head when divorcing. Red is way better than that. And blonde? What can I say? I've always been blonde, except, for of course, when I was BALD.

Hey there Crazy Aunt Purl -- I'm bloglining you as everyone is just so in love with your blog, how can I help it?! Great blog, and love the blond hair. :)

Yea! I love the pictures.

the hair is lovely. one of the radiologists where i work, judith, is from israel and does, in fact, have the greatest accent ever. she is also fabulous in a number of the same ways that aharon is, though she has never been anywhere near my hair.

as the spokeshomo for the east coast gays, we thank you for your endorsement of our right to marry.

A good hairdresser is worth his weight in cheezies. Cherish him....

and you look fab as a blond

from one self-doubting writer to another: you are a writer! if that's what will make you die happy, then do it! can a stalker use two exclamation points in one comment? here's a great site to get started on, if you haven't already: http://www.pw.org (if they're not going to give you an assistant at work, you can certainly do some research on their time). at the site you can sign up for the poets and writers e-newsletter, which will 1) make you feel like a real writer, 2) remind you to write, and 3) provide lots of great tips about how to get published. I find myself thinking thoughts in your voice now--it's so pervasive and wonderful. And I promise I won't do voodoo on you if you publish a novel before I do.

You are sooooo funny! I love your writing, and I'm glad to hear you have considered it as a profession. I've been to other blogs, who shall remain nameless (just in case they stalk here, you know who you are thinbunny), who are so boring and rather self absorbed. They knit like a fanatic, probably because they are so boring (just a hint of jealously).

But, I digress. You, I am jealous of because you have the best sense of humor, and it really comes out in your writing.

Thanks for blogging.

(because every comment i make has to be about meme, whatev)

so you know. since we sort of do kinda look alike (and have the Single White Fem-Blog thing going on anyway), i will share with you that after my divorce, i DID go red.

i went to the chichi-est salon ever and spent almost $500 (yes you read that correctly, hi i was crazy and divorcing) to go red. while everyone said, "red is hard to keep." and i thought, wtf does everyone know?

turns out "hard to keep" means "$500 is wasted two weeks later when you will be mostly blond but sort of coppery not in the good way."

right. but i refused to be defeated, so i decided i would just do it myself (with the help of my artist friend who knew what she was doing) because i was GOING TO BE RED come hell or high water.

yeah, i'm blond now. just sayin'.

Aharon is HOT. Is he Israeli? Is he AVAILABLE? Is he straight? I love gay guys but they usually aren't into peeking up my skirt, you know. Well, I'm taken right now, but I wanted to tell you that I love your blog and everything in it.

Babe, you are a writer...live it...love it. You rock my world.

I dunno being the daughter of a hairdresser I have seen oh so many looks and colors and I still think when the boy troubles they are bad you have to have something either cut, lifted, botoxed, colored or highlighted. It's like the cosmetic equivilant of a therapy shag, ya know nothing serious just make you feel special. OOOH hey what about a semi-permanant red? then if you hate it, it's gone in a few weeks.

Definately a hot hairdresser. Exactly what a girl needs at this time. I did the same thing and a whole lot of retail therapy during my divorce. My hair got progressively better as my x got progressively worse. Smurf blue hair does nothing for a 35 year old man who is ostensibly looking for gainful employment in our fair city. We are a tres conservative town here in Fredericton.
