the empress and my crowning glory

another trip to the hairdresser (The Proper in Portland) invites a study of a vintage stand-up "empress" hairdryer...looking into the future past...no-one sits under it anymore, but the folks at The Proper do keep the light on, just in case.







if I were to sit under this waiting for my hair to dry, would I feel like an empress?

this might be my favorite view...the air nozzles look like they're having a conversation.




Galen Amussen, my hairdresser at The Proper, is the absolute bomb. She does not speak with an accent like the man in this video, but she is funny as heck, generous to a tee, and she shapes my hair into a crowning glory of wonderful.
