HEY APW,
I think I need your advice. Jenny Slate (who you may remember for dropping the f bomb on SNL, and who I worship for creating Marcel the Shell with Shoes On) and I are in a fight right now (she doesn’t know it yet, don’t tell her. ) Mostly for posting this image to her Instagram feed, which led me to this one, which led me to the conclusion that I think I need a haircut. Except, my haircut involves roughly two years of letting a lavender pixie grow out, which is the worst. Would it be weird if I just wore a wig styled like Jennifer Grey in Dirty Dancing for a while? I welcome any and all feedback.
In other news, thank you for the kind birthday wishes last week. Twenty-fine is feeling pretty awesome already. There’s not much more to report this week (did it fly by, or was that just me?) and it’s your happy hour, so let’s do this thing.
Cheers,
MADDIE
