I'M SO DIRTY, AND THE LIGHT IT BLINDS MY EYES.

So my hair doesn't suck.
I Actually really like it. A lot.
I think it's a little too short, but the color is perfection.
The salon was really upscale and stuff. Liked it.

ALSO, I saw a girl that I graduated with from the salon as well. We made small talk, and then as she walked by she said " fucking cunt". And I was like , wow she's pissed, and that was really rude. But then I remembered, she had tourretts in high school. Only back then, she only had facial twitches and such.
NOW, I could not believe what I was seeing or hearing. I felt like it was a scene straight from a comedy, only it wasn't funny. It was actually extremely sad and eye opening.
As she went about her business doing peoples hair and such, she would just as often as she blinks her eyes would say , loud and clear, with out a stutter " fucking cunt, fucking slut, fucking slut". As if it was as simple as clearing her throat. 
With all kinds of people around, young people, old ladies, I wondered how hard this must be for her to deal with.
She must be judged every single day, and must have such a hard time representing herself.
I felt horrible, but inspired, that she just went about her business, and life. And I was actually impressed with the way people around reacted, it's nice to know that there was still people who accept people for who they are, regardless of the outcomes of some ones disabilities. 
It amazes me the problems people have to over come, I hope she continues to live her life the way she wants to.

Did I mention my hair rocks?

CATHERINE MCNEIL NEWS FLASH

Top model's mystery illness revealed

HOMESICKNESS has been blamed as the mystery illness that has Australia's top model, Catherine McNeil, absent from the catwalks of Europe.
McNeil, 19, made international headlines after pulling out of the Milan and Paris fashion weeks due to an undisclosed ailment. Exhaustion and homesickness were the cause, according to Sydney fashion insiders.
The self-confessed tomboy model, who grew up in Logan, south of Brisbane, is believed to be prone to strong bouts of missing her laidback lifestyle in the sunshine state.
Speaking from the family home her grandmother, Sandra McNeil, said the fashion model was taking some time off to rest.
She said McNeil was recuperating at her New York base. "She's just burned out," Mrs McNeil said last week.
But she added, her grand-daughter would be back at work again "soon".
McNeil's Sydney rep, Kathy Ward of Chic Model Management, said the situation had been "blown out of proportion" and promised that McNeil would be back bigger than ever.
McNeil was expected to start work on some lucrative and high-profile advertising campaigns in coming weeks, Ms Ward said.
Despite speculation about her absence from the European shows, industry experts said the time off – to rejuvenate after a "gruelling" few months work – would further boost her career.
McNeil appears on the cover of this month's Vogue Australia magazine, and editor-in-chief Kirstie Clements said the model is "at the top of her game". "She's so far up the tree it wouldn't matter (that she missed the Paris and Milan shows)," Ms Clements said. "She's one of the top 10 models in the world.
"She really only does the top level stuff now and she's got some big advertising campaigns booked."
McNeil's modelling career began after she won a Girlfriend magazine model-search competition, and signed with Brisbane agency June Daly-Watkins at the age of 13.
Director Jodie Bache-McLean said McNeil's no-show would make her even more desirable in international circles.
She likened it to the career-rejuvenating behaviour of Kate Moss, who endured a drug scandal, and Naomi Campbell, who's anger issues have landed the supermodel in hot water, yet who both bounced back with even stronger profiles.

Holy shit balls. I'm actually extremely impressed there was actually something publicly released on behalf of this matter, because most people just leave news like this hanging and a mystery. I think it's actually really impressive Cat did this. If this is the true reason why Cat has missed so many shows, I'm blown away by her self awareness and ability to realize when a break is needed, or what a persons breaking point is. I'd also like to say I'm happy to see that there is an agency out there that still cares about a models own personal well being. Needless to say, there has not been much of that to be spoken for . Bravo on both Cat and her agency's behalves.
We all still miss her at the show's and patiently await her triumphant return !!!!!
FEEL BETTER.
I WOULD ALSO LIKE TO POIN OUT IT IS INSULTING TO COMPARE CAT'S PROBLEMS TO FUCKING KATE MOSS'S and NAOMI CAMPBELLS. What a Joke. This is nothing like that, and much more respectable and honorable than snorting coke and throwing phone at people. Thank you and done. :)
