Last week I went out to dinner — a rather nice spot called Crush Wine Bar — with a group of my delightful friends. Said friends wondered if our festive dinner out would merit an entry in my blog. (I evaded the question as long as I could.)

Now, ordinarily my blog is observational and tends to focus on things that bug me or confuse me. Occasionally, I mention my shopping exploits. But I don’t really write about the times I go out for nice dinners with wonderful friends and enjoy myself … because, well frankly, where’s the tension or conflict?

But yeah, I went out last week with A. J. E. and K.

The evening started out fine but went downhill after about 4 bottles of wine and a few vodka martinis. E and K got into a fight (something about a ruined Prada bag) and that resulted in what is now referred to as the tragic Belgian Endive & Watercress Salad Accident. Not pretty.

See, the last part is not true but it did make the post more interesting, no?

S. to the rescue….and A. too.

S. is, of course, my cool hair stylist and A. is well, my Lakme representative (among other things he’s also S.’s SO and equally cool to boot).

So to continue with the S. & A. love (good thing his name is not Michael, eh?) they are both very hip people who care about me and my ongoing hair concerns. (Or at least I feel this to be so and that’s what matters, no?)

My sticky hair situation has worked itself out — it turns out there is a companion shampoo for the hair wax. I bought some. I used it. It worked.

Just what I need! A shampoo that gets rid of “the remains of [my] parties”. All that contamination, smoke and styling product — gone! I’ve never felt so clean. (I have not started doing gang signals yet but maybe that comes next?)

I want to “start all over again”, Lakme. Oh yes, I do.
