I thought I posted this before but noticed it was not posted. In any even, here goes again.
I had the experience of trying out for a local rotary show with my 15 year old daughter in the "Sound of Music". My daughter sort of convinced me. I got up spontaniously (sp) and sang Edalevice(spP and thought I did pretty good. tonight I went there for the 2nd time and got asked if I wanted to read. Before I could answer, the director which is female asked me in front of the entire cast if I would be willing to cut my hair for the part. I immediately said no and she would not let me read. Instead she simply ended the readings and closed the set. It made me upset but at the time I said nothing. My hair is well past my shoulder blade all one length. I generally wear it in a ponytail or one braid down my back. My goal is to have it long enough to sit on. I simply love wearing my hair long. It will take about two years more growth to get it that long. In any event, my daughter pleaded with me in the car to cut my hair because it was important to her that I be in the play with her i.e. father daugher closeness etc. I really wanted to do that but know if I cut my hair I will regret it after the play is over. I would have to have a ken/attorney haircut and will hate it. I was forced to wear my hair like that as a kid and hated it then. I know I will hate it today. I am flexible about many issues and concerns except my hair. I guess I am asking for support and suggestions? Are there wigs and hairdressers out there that could give the illusion of short ken/attorney type hairstyes and still keep my hair long?
