REALLY Utah?!

I spent last weekend in Utah. I tried to be good, but I could NOT HELP MYSELF. I'll tell you all about it when I get a little more time, but until then... a preview:

Zappe Family said...

Totally UT hair! The minute we land in SLC, I notice a HUGE difference in hair altitude! Seriously...I don't think I'd ever fit in there...

Melain said...

OMG Jill, I'm right there with you. I was walking through the airport on the phone with a friend screaming into the phone, "The hair! THE HAAAIIIRRR!" It was painful. I just HAD to sneak a few pictures.

Melinda said...

Ah yes, the bumpit is huge here! hahaha There is some crazy hair, I totally admit it, I'm just glad MY hair isn't! ;)

Lynette said...

I'm surely glad I have you for a hairdresser instead of whoever is doing it for the women in these pictures. Amazing!

Shannon said...

that's freakin' awesome.
We visited Utah last month and Ashlynn said: Mom, do you know how to do the bump?
Me: no.
Ashlynn: I guess only the Utah Aunts do.

Umm, wow. What happened?

Too funny - I was in the SLC a couple of weeks ago and had the same thought. My mom went to get a hair cut and my sister (also visiting from out-of-state) had to swoop in and save her from the stylist by giving very clear instructions of "Just-a-trim-,-do-not-cut-her-hair-like-that-lady-(pointed to the woman sitting next to my mother)."

It is a good thing my sister was there.

Holy Hair Hell!!! I kinda want to go on vacation there just to see how many bad 'dos I could spot in a day. It's a fun study in sociology...

This is why I hate hair. Even when you think you're cute, you're not. Now, I'll be the first to say that some of these people should have directed their energies toward other options, but I've spent too many years being the girl with the black strip over her eyes to pass judgment on people who actually try. Still.....some of these fashions are WHY I didn't try. I was afraid I'd end up looking like that. I was right to be afraid.

Busted out laughing. I needed a good laugh today and you sooo provided it. Still laughing... Can't wait to read your post about your Utah experiences!

Can I comment? I haven't before, but I love your blog and this warranted a comment.

I don't know what you're talking about. I think those hair styles are fabulous. In fact I've been meaning to ask you if you could style my hairzies like that girl in the top right photo.

LAUGHING SOOO HARD!!

Oh dear, oh dear. Good 'ol Utah...always there to give people a good chuckcle. I had to go there a week and a half ago and was sitting in the Seattle airport with my husband, when he said, "There are a lot of women here who look Mormon." We realized a few minutes later that it was women's conference weekend, and it sure looked like some of these ladies were preparing their hair for their Utah trip. It was SOOOO obvious that they were Mormon, I had to laugh (espcially the lady sitting next to me, who pulled out a jornal with ribboned edges and started writing about her day as she prepared for the conference...and yes, I was spying LOL)

Kell said...

Dude I know right? I mean I live here and sometimes I am like seriously?? Utah Valley is the worse place on earth for hair becuase not only do all the moms have that same hair style the girls my age all have long hair with a cancerous looking blob on the top. Apparently we are trying to be Texas... go big or go home.

Brillig said...

OH. Mygosh. HAHAHAHAHAHA. That is some seriously scary hair. I can't wait for your commentary on the whole trip. And I highly doubt you were good the whole time...
