HAHAHAHA PinkGirl - I'll do that! Or maybe I'll take KDR's photo too. Why not have multiple looks!

Yesterday I was channeling my inner Alan Brady...
On that topic, I know most of you are TOO YOUNG to remember the old Dick Van Dyke show, and I'm showing my age by telling you this...but my mom's favorite episode was one called "Coast to Coast Bigmouth" in which Laura Petrie accidentally blabs on a TV Game show that Alan Brady (her husband's boss played by Carl Reiner) is bald. There is a scene where he has all his hairpieces sitting on their stands and he's talking to them. I did that last night, hauled out all my old wigs, washed them and lined them up in the bathtub...auditioning them for the next party hair girls club.

Check it out here if you want...the scene with the hair is near the end
