Look is a Spanish word that means, well, look. Style. And hombre, it's been many years since i've had a new one. So after walking the streets sufficiently to develop a taste for Spanish hairstyle I looked up some words in my dictionary (bangs=flaquillos; layers=capas; blow dry=peinar) and set off to find a decent peluqeria. There are actually five on every block in my neighborhood, so it was a tough choice. The first one I entered had about six old ladies getting their hair done, so I felt a little uncomfortable, and it was so loud that I couldn't hear what the lady was saying. I walked out and down the block to one that looked more hip and private with orange and green paint. After finding mas o menos the style I wanted in one of the magazines and trying to expain it with my non-haircutting Spanish vocabulary, it took her about 15 minutes to cut bangs and layers change my part. And that was that. For 12,50!!!!
So if I don't look more Spanish... at least I have a nice change that the hairdresser proclaimed to be gracioso and chulo after she was done. (Gracioso meaning... something good, and chulo meaning cool in a suave, slicked back hair, black suit kind of way -- not that I look like that.)

Most excellent! Fiona has been taking some flak for her recent short hair cut so she'll be glad to point out the trendy look of her worldly older prima hermana.
