My last big style change reminded me of my mother circa 1976. The latest one is my grandmother, Romayne, at age 6.
In one of our family albums, there is a black and white photo of Romayne with a hairstyle very similar to my new one. She’s standing outside wearing a patterned dress and chunky lace up shoes. Maybe it was the first day of school or a birthday. I suspect her sister cut her hair with the aid of a bowl. Mine didn’t involve any bowls.
I wonder if after my next style I will look like my great-grandmother?

This is the first time I’ve ever tried to look like a movie character. Can you guess what movie? It’s not a bad resemblance (the hair, not hte rest of me).

It’s pretty mod. It fits you well.
Bob guessed correctly; it’s Amelie. I think in the US it was released as “Amelie of Monmartre.”
Now that I think of it, I look a bit like Yoshimoto Nara’s angry little girl drawings or the lead character in Letta Leaves Home.
So I guess the haircut is French, Japanese, or Swedish. Nobody else in Tokyo seems to be wearing this style—today three women in Shibuya stared and pointed at me!

Posted by: Jennifer on October 7, 2002 05:24 AMYep I think that’s my favorite haircut of yours. I wish i could see it in person.
