Tony (37/261)

I’m having a bad hair day. Tony is having a bad all-round day. “That bloody lawyer! Charging me $20,000 for nothing!” he bellows, brandishing the scissors over my head. I try to make my hair look as nonconfrontational as possible, afraid of a stylish homicide.

Beware of the stylist having a bad scissors day.
Love this one esp. the last line

nonconfrontational hair is pretty damn descriptive ... this was a classic

I still love coming back to this one ... all the words, in all the right places, with such clever twists and turns

one of my all-time 365 favorites!
