Hey guys, what’s up?

Truth Bomb: When I was in middle school I wore a brown, paper bag on my head while I walked to school.

Ok, I didn’t do this every day, but for a while, I considered this the solution to keep my hair from getting ruined during my 6 block trek to school each morning.

Let me set up the background picture for you. My hair is super thick, and because the time was the 80’s and I lived in Texas, my very thick hair was permed. So I would get out my curling iron and curl that perm even more. Then I would step out into the hot, windy, Texas humidity. Yikes, I know.

Big hair was a status symbol in the ’80s, like an Izod T-shirt. Think Wendy Goldberg.

You’re probably asking how I thought wearing a bag on my head, less mortifying than having a horrible hairdo at school.

Well, a girls gotta do……
