Phase 1 of Operation: Boss Up in Operation Boss Up

Operation: Boss Up & Change Your Life
Phase 1 Complete
When the going gets tough the tough reinvent themselves

I know that a heavily filtered Snapchat selfie isn’t going to do my new hair any justice right now but I don’t have the opportunity to produce anything else at this time. I’m still pretty gagged. On Sunday I told myself that I am tired of being afraid. I created a little mission for myself. I call it Operation: Boss Up & Change Your Life. It’s all about reinvention. Phase 1 is reimaging. A makeover seems like a silly idea but I know who I want to be so I am going to try and be that character. Life is a stage, right? We’re all born naked and the rest is drag.

I quoted Rupaul twice in this entry already. Anyway, I brought a couple of pictures with me for reference, to help me explain what I wanted to the hairdresser. I was so nervous. I felt like I was going in for a job interview. I think 10% of the nerves was the haircut. 30% was leaving the house and the rest was having to meet somebody. I went in wanting the quiff but we aimed for a low fade because I also wanted to keep a lot of the length so that I could slick it back and have something to play with. She disconnected the hair from the top which is not something that I like and I forgot to mention that. It’s all good though. She didn’t disconnect it from an awkward spot. It’s also at least a little blended. Overall, I think that I am content with it. I got her card because she didn’t let me down. She really listened to me which is what I appreciated the most.

In my mind, with the results from this haircut, I was hoping to finally serve up some executive realness. I was going for rugged & manly but what I got was fuckboy & twinky #swag #2012realness. I look forever 21 lol. It’s all good. I can make it work.

So I guess I can pack up my hair ties, the oils and the brushes. No more tangled hair, shedding, neck sweat and the easy man-bun. I’m back to hair products, fighting with my hairdo and regular visits to the barber. I’ll dig out my hats for the days when my hair wins the battle. Man, I wanted to grow it out to my ribs before I cut it. I’ll probably get sad about it after the shock wears off. I’ll just take a few bomb selfies for myself to make me feel better.

I’m still working on my masterpiece though. I got to get myself ready for phase 2 of Operation Boss Up. It’s not all reimaging… it’s not the clothes don’t make the man.
