Birds of a feather…

June 30, 2011 By Gail 26 Comments


You may have heard there is a serious controversy brewing. Steven Tyler, of Aerosmith fame, started wearing feathers in his hair and a trend was born. Soon hair salons were offering a variety of feathers—slender and muted, to poofy and colorful—as extensions. My stylist mentioned them to me three months ago, but we both agreed they were a bit too “out there.” Six weeks ago she was wearing them in her hair when I arrived for my appointment. She assured me they were as easy to care for as hair, and were rather fun. I asked if she thought I was a bit past the prime target age for such doo-dads, and she said absolutely not. I was intrigued, and had her put in two thin blazing red feathers and one striped. I left the salon wondering if I was a fool or a fun-lover. After many compliments and curious questions I decided I was a fun-lover. My husband liked them too. The word sexy was bandied about.
Today marked another hair appointment. Tracy, my stylist, still had her feathers in, and we smirked knowingly about wearing them. I told her there are many angry fisherpersons because the feathers used in our hair were traditionally used for fishing lures. The new hair fashion demand has driven the prices up and created limited supplies. She hadn’t heard about the pissed-off anglers, but she did know that the salon had run out of the feathers, twice, and the owner had to buy more at Gander Mountain. I pondered the situation. Were there roosters running around with naked butts because I had feathers in my hair? Should I sacrifice my fun for the starving anglers? Nah. I decided dedicated fisherpersons can use worms. I asked Tracy to put in two more striped feathers, and it was the best part of my day. Steven Tyler, you are ‘da man.

    I have been surfing on-line more than three hours nowadays, but I never found any attention-grabbing article like yours. It’s beautiful value sufficient for me. In my opinion, if all website owners and bloggers made just right content material as you probably did, the net can be a lot more helpful than ever before. “It’s all right to have butterflies in your stomach.

    Greetings! I know this is kind of off topic but I was wondering which blog platform are you using for this website? I’m getting fed up of WordPress because I’ve had issues with hackers and I’m looking at options for another platform. I would be great if you could point me in the direction of a good platform.

      Hi Rosemary,
      Sorry to hear about your difficulties. I believe my webdesigner has me on WordPress. I was getting a lot of spam and whatnot so she put filters on my site which have helped a great deal. My best advice would be to spend the money for a consulation with a webdesigner or webmaster to see what else is out there and would work for you.
      Thanks for the visit,
      Gail

    Just about all of whatever you say happens to be astonishingly appropriate and that makes me ponder the reason why I hadn’t looked at this in this light before. This particular piece really did switch the light on for me personally as far as this subject matter goes. But there is actually one position I am not really too cozy with so whilst I try to reconcile that with the main theme of the position, allow me observe exactly what the rest of your readers have to point out.Nicely done.
