True story- my sweet mom was a beauty queen and my pops was a hardcore b-ball player- and somehow along the way they created something completely different. At this point in my life I was a full on Bon Jovi fan. For people who know me, I go through phases with bands I obsess over. From the age of 6 to about 11, Jon Bongiovi Jr. was the man of my dreams. His poster, complete with sky-high hair, make-up and a forest for a chest, hung gloriously behind my bed. I kissed my Bon Bon goodnight before bed everynight without fail.
Needless to say I wasn't the little princess my mom had hoped for, so when she left my sister and I at the Erik of Norway Hair Salon alone for the first time, she quickly realized what a huge mistake she had made.
Being that it was the height of the 80s- we decided we both wanted the Asymmetrical cut- long on one side, shaved on the other. But mine came with a tail... gotta show my Wisconsin roots! And so here is my mom's attempt at making me as girly as possible for my 1st grade photo, complete with a pink outfit that was topped off by the ugliest bow ever created.
Who would've thought that roughly 20 years later- I would have fit right in at last night's Motherfucker party or been ranked on by Gawker's Blue States Lose for hitting up Misshapes. Take that hipsters- I was the first of your kind.
