old hair, new hair.

tors has great hair. long and luscious.

even still, this lovely lady needed a change.

so we spiced up her old hair...

...and now she's got this fancy new hair.

ombre baby! it's all the rage and i'm lovin' it!

soft, diffused highlights. yes yes and yes.

who wants it? come and get it!

cutting week: a doll head's story.

cutting week: not as easy as it sounds.

cutting week requires strength, endurance and

a whole lotta stick-to-it-iveness.

no seriously, this biz is hard.

dolly started out the week lookin' a little rough.

washed her up and gave her a nice

square one length. first (sort of) haircut ever.

success.

up next: triangular graduation.

it's the foundation for the haircut mrs. beckham

made famous. 'member that sexiness?

reportedly one of the most difficult cuts to master.

i concur but still...success.

moving on to men's haircuts.

uhhhh yeah...EPIC fail. like seriously folks.

this is my business look. i call it the bruce jenner.

and just when i thought it couldn't get any worse,

i was challenged to create an edgier,

funkier, faux-hawkier men's cut.

EPIC fail! are you seeing a pattern here?

women's cuts: mostly pass. men's cuts: FAIL!

next week: spa week. who wants to get waxed?!

strawberry shortbread squares.

betty crocker i am not.

but ree, joy and deb have taught me

a thing or two about cooking in the past few months.

this week's lesson: don't be afraid to fail and you probably won't.

exhibit a. strawberry shortbread squares.

the facts are these:

4 lbs of strawberries on the cusp of moldy unuseableness.

strawberry pie? yes, please.

problem: no shortening for a pie crust, no pie tin.

dee da dee dee! enter SHORTBREAD!

i felt like a bonafide baker just flyin' by the seat of my pants.

sure, the shortbread was too thick and the strawberry

pie filling looked slightly unappetizing.

BUT...

the shortcake squares were loved by all who partook.

sweet sweet success.
