The Lioness!!!

This young lady is in one of my Business English classes. I wish I had a photo of her before she had her hair done, but sorry, I don't.

About three days after I noticed her new "do", several other girls in other classes came to school sporting the same look. Its becoming very popular. The long straight bangs, the kinked bob around the face (a remake of the old afro of the 70's) and then long straight strands down the back. Of course, they dye their beautiful black locks a bright orange or reddish tint. Thus, the title of this post.

One middle school student told me, at her school, they have a hair code. The bangs can't be longer than they eyebrows. Wow!!!

How nice for a teacher to actually see the eyes of her students. I remember in the 70's, it appears that look is back, at least stateside..... long and straight and in the face....you know the old Cher look....all our teachers complained about not seeing our beautiful faces.

Thanks for keeping us up to date with the latest in Chinese culture. LOL. I am wondering whether I wrote you privately about Miao Miao. I thought I did but we've been going through a rather challenging patch with Julia and I might not have. I am very interested to know how she is doing. That video of her at the indoor playground really captured me. If I wasn't so old and frail, I'd . . . well, you know. I'd love to have some news of her.

Norma,
Where? With who? Which one?
My advice, is DO something, don't sit around and expect the director to entertain you. Pick up a baby and just go for it....if you make a mistake....they'll let you know.

My pet peeve is folks who come in, take a few pictures and leave....they never touch a child....ahhhh!!!!!

Oh, and wash your hands on arriving each time and leaving. If they dont' ask you to, do it anyway. Have a great time.
