Oh, hair puns. I just can’t quit you. After last week’s hair-raising post on wedding hair, I’ve dedicated large chunks of my life to creating hair jokes…while wearing styrofoam curlers…while giving my toddler a french braid…while we jam out to Hair: The American Tribal Love-Rock Musical. Turns out my boy needed more than an inch of hair to pull off the look and my singing voice is just shrill enough to alert the neighbors of not-so-impending tornadoes.
So, this morning I walk around the house looking like the meth head cousin of Miss Shirley Temple (the unfortunate result of sporting curlers for 72 hours straight) all out of hair-related hilarity save for one, very important issue.
This weekend you greeted Rachel from Lovely Day Hair & Makeup. You rocked the vote, and if my mental image of some of you is correct, you rocked the vote while rocking mullets. Given the choice between two looks (one sweet, the other sassafras), the overwhelming majority jumped on the funky train and selected…. {drumroll please}….
THE BLOGGY WEDDING BEEHIVE/ RED LIP DISTRICT
Thanks in large part to my mother (who I later found was threatening my sweet grandmother’s well being to dictate votes) and the furiously fabulous Andra Watkins of The Accidental Cootchie Mama (who may or may not but really did campaign for the retro look on social networking sites), this Monday I am here to inform you that as far as this here wedding is concerned, the beehive is the bee’s knees. You know, if bees had knees.
Now enjoy some deep, metaphorical quotes about beehives while you picture me wearing a beehive.
9 inches of puffy, magical fun.
Love it! You gonna look fab chick!
Beautiful! Love it!
YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You are going to be a stunning bride, Tori.
xo
I,for one, am all a-buzz!
Kathy
Love it. I didn’t get to rock the vote, but I think this is, indeed, the bee’s knees.
You will undoubtedly be a beautiful bride, but for me the look is more about your dazzling smile and the twinkle in your eyes. And, who knows, with enough hairspray (or a bit of sticky honey) you can probably preserve that hive for days . . .
You’ll be gorgeous! Can’t wait to see the results of all your readers’ votes and of your careful planning!
I’m so excited! I love it!
Love! The beehive if for sure Retro and funkalishious so it’ll fit the theme for sure! Plus who doesn’t like cat eyes and red lips? Nay I say only non Americans even perhaps terrorists Haha! Can’t wait to see the final results all come together!
Looks great. Tori you are so gorgeous!!
HOORAY!! I was seriously debating setting up multiple fake blogging accounts, just to vote for that beehive again and again. I’m happy to hear it won the vote, even without me resorting to cheating!
You can really pull off this hairstyle AND the red, luscious lips. Go for it! I love it.
It really is a lovely look, Ms. N!
LOVE the look! I was politicking for this as well.
Too bad “Sting” couldn’t play at the reception. hehehe
Yay for the behive! .
I’m a little relieved you didn’t take fashion advice from a duck.
I missed the chance to vote, but I would have gone with this one anyway – excellent choice!
B.e.a.u.t.i.f.u.l
Great choice!
Lovely!
You look great. The makeup and hair make you look like a time-traveling model that still feels at home in the modern day world.
I’m going to make that into a comic book.
Sweet! I picture almost every event in my life as a clip from a comic book. It would be a super boring comic book, but I’d feel cool anyways!
Best. Description. Ever. Geeze, Matt. I should’ve had you write that post! I love the beehive look. I’m not exactly the ringlet curl/ princess kind of girl, so a little funk was welcome!
