She doesn't see dead people but does their hair.....

Cole Sear: I see dead people. 
Malcolm Crowe: In your dreams? 
[Cole shakes his head no] 
Malcolm Crowe: While you're awake? 
[Cole nods] 
Malcolm Crowe: Dead people like, in graves? In coffins? 
Cole Sear: Walking around like regular people. They don't see each other. They only see what they want to see. They don't know they're dead. 
Malcolm Crowe: How often do you see them? 
Cole Sear: All the time. They're everywhere. 

quote from movie....Sixth Sense

Yesterday was my scheduled meeting with my beautification specialist.  It was time for my usual try and color the gray streaks by adding a bit more blond treatment .  I must say, as always she did a fabulous job--i have the best beautification specialist in the whole wide world.  She's funny, kind and even off-color after one gets to know her.

Spending a Saturday morning with her after twenty some odd years is like spending it with an old friend---because it is.

The girls--off color daughter and hannatard--say my "do" is cute but if they saw me out...the would think that i was a lesbian based on the way I look---a muscle wanna be and short hair---whatever--lesbians are sexy hot too.  Big Daddy thinks it is cute--and that is all that matters....at least he said it was cute and that he likes it--course as long as I love it--that is all that matters!!!!!

Yesterday while we were talking, she said that she had just attended one of her old clients memorial service.  As she was telling me a bit about her memories of this client, I stopped her.

"Do you do dead people hair?"

She smiled...."yes I have been asked to do that and I have on occasion done a few dead clients hair."

of course this started me on one of my Oprah Winfrey question asking sessions....

I wanted to know what it was like....

doing dead people hair that is...

"Do you wash it?"

"no--that has already been done--it's really pretty easy--cause all you have to do is the front and sides."

"Are they clothed?'

"Sometimes---sometimes they are covered with a sheet? It is really kind of hard--cause I can make their hair look fabulous, but that is not what I want--I want them to look like the way everyone remembers seeing them during the day--so I spray their hair, fix it, mess it up, fix it some more, smoosh it and work until it looks like I know they'd want to be remembered."

"What do you do while your doing it,

is it a sacred experience---doing hair for the dead?"

She thought for a minute and said....

"yes it is......while I fix their hair it is like they are there with me one last time.....watching me, making sure I'm doing it right.  I usually talk to them--laugh some as I remember stories and the life we've shared.....yes it is a sacred spiritual experience."

I smiled---she's a deep beautification specialist!

I say...

well...if I wasn't going to be cremated...I'd definitely want you fixing my hair when I start the next leg of my adventure..."

and then as quickly as we touched the subject...

we moved on to the next one...

kids, sex, religion....life..

every four weeks..

I sit in a chair,

get my sexy hot look

and

share life and laughter with an old friend

and

it is good--

and

it leaves me

my sexy hot self.

So on this Sunday morning..

I am thankful...

for a beautification specialist

who

will

do

dead people's hair.

Have a happy Sunday!

Blessings and Hugs!
