Locks Talk and Beryl
Emma has been growing her hair out for over a year for the sole purpose of donating it to Locks of Love, a non-profit charity that provides hairpieces to kids suffering from long-term medical hair loss. Last night we had Heidi, the überstylist, lop off 10 inches for Locks of Love and style what was left.
Here are some photos of the big occasion:
On a completely unrelated note, Beryl Markham’s West With The Night is one of my favorite books and would make a wonderful gift for any discerning bibliophile on your Christmas list.
“…she has written so well, and marvellously well, that I was completely ashamed of myself as a writer…she can write rings around all of us…I wish you would get it and read it because it is really a bloody wonderful book.”
— Ernest Hemingway
P.S. Oh, come on! I couldn’t pass up the oronym, and what other options did I have?
Locks Talk and Bear Ill? (Nah.)
Locks Tock and Bare Elle? (Macpherson, of course.)
Locks Dock in Barrow? (Nope.)
Locks Dog in Peril? (That’s really pushing it.)
I thought my choice, incorporating both the follicular announcement and my favorite little-known African aviatrix was brilliant.
