Funniest Sight of the Week

Big news....we've got new hair. Well, sort of. The fact is, Dirk has no hair at all and I have got myself a decent head of dreds after much daily work and a lot of help from other hands. We've somehow held off on breaking the news for about three weeks, but it was worth the wait because it takes dreds a while to look good, and not like frizzy nest on my head. Even though you might think having all your hair knotted into little ropes would be easy to take care of, I spend at least an hour a day counter-intuitively back-combing and knotting my hair. It's way more time than I ever spent untangling my normal old hair. The result of all that knotting is that my hair is about half the length it was and much much wider. Wheee! Dirk, on the other hand, has nothing to with his hair at all in between the days he shaves it. Completely bare, bald, no hair, and slowly acquiring a tan. The skin was very, very white the first day he shaved it - so much so that if you looked at his head and squinted your eyes it almost looked like he had white hair... but the caribbean sun has been good to the color, and now I get the "hey rasta" and he gets the, "military, or just short hair?" You can find more pictures of the new styles under the sketch book link to the right.
