Inspired Expression
I went to an art exhibition yesterday. I went there without expectations and I left sooner than I usually do when going to a museum. The exhibition was about the women of the avant-garde and although I like the concept of avant-garde, apparently I’m not really into the actual avant-garde art.
So, not loving the art but still fascinated by the expression of these uncompromisingly weird women and very inspired by this quote;
Now, I can’t be sure that I actually know what this lady is talking about but to me it sounds a lot like a complexified version of ‘follow your heart’.
The way I see it, one of our main projects in this life is to uncover our own unique essence and then express it as truthfully and uncompromisingly as possible.
So, today I cut my hair. Not entirely sparked by the exhibition but still with an air of synchronicity between the artsy expression and what I have been doing with my life in the past few months.
My new hair is not exactly avant-garde but about 12 inches did end up on my hairdressers floor.

Shin lenght, that’s a wow :D
I guess I got the too weird kind and further more, I really didn’t like the color composition, which is very important in my opinion. Not at all art critique qualified but very opinionated :D

that’s always good, opinionated is a plus
And I meant chin length … nowhere near my shins only when I bend over :-)

no … never been that long, and how would you go to the toilet, all that hair in the way, and how would it ever dry

I know! I was imagining some fairytale freakshow mix – not clearminded enough to simply switch the c and the s.

12 inches of hair? I’d love to see the new cut.

Been contemplating stepping a little further out of the safe anonymity – not quite there yet.. But I can say that it’s short and a little asymmetrical.
