FIRST.

I have rarely been a trendsetter. Therefore, I am making a concerted effort to start a trend-- or in this case, revive a trend that many hoped (and prayed) had breathed its last in the early '90s.

That's right. I'm bringing back mall hair.

It all started when I realized that my new, curly hair extensions resemble an old-skool spiral perm. (My straight roots even contribute to that unmistakable "grown out" look.) Jonny sarcastically suggested that I fashion "claw bangs" to match my Tawny Kitaen 'do. Inspired, I ran upstairs and plugged in the curling iron. Hair shenanigans are the ultimate cure for blizzard-induced cabin fever!

Now I just have to wait for it to catch on. It's hot, right?
