Amy tried out a new Corean beauty salon recently. The hairdresser was a Corean man with strong opinions.
HAIRDRESSER: “You need a perm.”
AMY: “Wha–? No. I do not need a perm.”
HAIRDRESSER: “No, you really need a perm.”
AMY: “I may be married, but I am not getting an ajumma (older married woman) perm.”
HAIRDRESSER: “Not that kind of perm. It’s all the rage in Japan.”
Later as Amy was telling me the story….
ME: “I thought you said he was Corean. What’s all this about Japan? Sounds kind of pushy. He’s gay isn’t he?”
AMY: “No, he showed me a picture of his wife. She’s Chinese.”
ME: “He was totally hitting on you then, wasn’t he?!”
So the hairdresser gave Amy a “trial” perm of what the real perm would look like. It wasn’t like those awful afro perms that old Corean women get (along with Kim Jong Il). It was quite wavy which reminded me of some of my drawings. I’ll usually start with straight hair in a sketch and put some waves in there out of instinct. Maybe I should have been a non-gay male hairdresser.
After a week, Amy went back and got the real thing (above). I have to admit her new hairstyle really turned me on. It’s like having your gorgeous wife replaced with an all-new gorgeous wife. So much so that I’m wondering if I should be feeling guilty or something. Just yesterday I caught myself looking at the slutty adult Halloween costumes at Meijer’s and thinking, “This would look really good on on my hot new wife. Oh-oh-oh yeah.”
She’s been irritable this week though, so at least I know it’s still the same woman I fell in love with.
(Amy’s hair looks more like Ooseung’s naturally wavy hair now.)
