I’m in Portland on “vacation” (though I have to pop back up to Seattle tomorrow for an interview). I’ve been feeling a little shabby lately, so my sister took me to Amore Salon for a much needed haircut! Before and after:

Before After

The wonderful person who refreshed and renewed me is named Marque’ Peavyhouse, and I couldn’t be more pleased. Not only was it a totally pleasant experience (and believe me, I went in terrified - that it would cost too much, that it would suck like my last haircut, that I should never have left my cave), she is very very skilled and was able to fully rejuvenate my very distressed and malnourished locks. I’ve really been down lately, and I realized that my look has been a huge part of that. I already feel better. Plus she gave me just the right style, and helped me figure out what I really wanted! I haven’t had such a great cut since Mitchell in NY, nor such a pleasant experience since I modeled for Miss Hotstuff Wendy Garvey in 2004. (Damn I miss THAT hair.) Anyway, Amore is at 945 NW Lovejoy in Portland’s Pearl district. They specialize in wedding day but they’re not prohibitively expensive. All you PDX ladies should treat yourself.

    Oh my god! You’re in our neck of the woods and no calls, postcards, rocks through our windows?! The nerve. heh. Ok overly dramatic tantrum is over. The new cut looks great and Zoe and I still owe you Sushi. So depending how long you’re in P-town maybe nosh and gossip or what passes for such amongst all of us “hip” 30 somethings nowadays :D

    Oh shi… I forgot that’s where you guys went, for some reason I had you further south. It wasn’t the most pleasant of vacations, anyway - I was down working some stuff out with my family, I’m kind of going through a rough time. I would blog about it, but I have no idea where to start. I guess that’s a start.
