When I went downstairs to go do my live segment at WCBS yesterday morning, my car hadn’t arrived.
And rather than risk being late by waiting around, I decided to grab a yellow cab.
I didn’t run back upstairs to get a hat. I just started walking to the corner to hail a taxi.
Walked fast with the snow coming down on me.
And rain. The rain snow came down on me.
I waited in the dirty slush puddle for a yellow cab. My hair was still in the bun I put it in to go to bed.
I always put my hair up in a bun. Occasionally when I take it out the bun, I comb it. Maybe brush it too for good measure.
This morning, I was even more neglectful than usual to my hair. So in the bun it stayed.
The hair stylist at WCBS didn’t touch my hair. He asked what I wanted to do and I said “nothing because it’s a major mess.”
Did the segment, came home and went on Twitter (of course!) to find several emails from viewers, a few Facebook messages and a tweet by Liz about how I looked -

I love Liz but I seriously can’t understand why she thought my hair looked good.
Here’s a screen shot for you so you can see what she saw -

After seeing her Tweet, I was on the phone with my mother and she said my hair has looked better. lol Which is exactly what I was thinking.
I’m really surprised by the reaction I received just because my hair had a few waves in it. I guess having someone blow dry it straight for twenty minutes just isn’t necessary anymore.
Then I asked a friend (and another!) who told me my hair looked like bedroom hair.
This is a composite of both of their conversations with me -
H: It looks like bedroom hair.
It looks like bedroom hair. Sexy!
Me: So I look like how all the viewers look when they wake up. Yeah, we are all on the same page.
H: No it looks like you were at your boyfriend’s apartment overnight and grabbed a shirt and ran over there to do the segment.
Me: It looks like I didn’t shower? Ew. Gross.
H: No it looks like you were out late last night, went over a guy’s house had sex and did the walk of shame directly to work.
Me: That would explain a lot of the emails I received when I got home.
H: You look like the hotness.
Me: Should I aim to look like the hotness more in 2009?
H: Well it was Global Orgasm Day so you definitely helped some of those viewers out.
Me: Glad someone’s having fun in that department *sigh*

Bedroom hair is a great look. (This from someone who combs her hair maybe once in the morning. Maybe.)
