labrujahI went to the casting for the hair modeling. I walk in 20 minutes late to a small translucent room full of women waiting. Skinny young women with perfect hair, older women with fried hair and everyone in between. I fumble around with my bag feeling incredibly self-conscious in this place where scrutiny weighs down the very air.
Almost as soon as I come in a severe woman with a designer coat and pointy heels waves me in and sits me in a black leather chair. She touches the ends of my hair a little bit and asks me if I'm open to them doing whatever. I say I'd like to keep it long but I'm into something modern and even asymmetrical or experimental. She asks if they can color it and I pause. Darker is ok but will you want to bleach it? She purses her lips and I can tell I've given the wrong answer. "We don't want to waste our time, we can only choose 16 people so we need someone who is really open." She takes my Polaroid and I sign it and I'm free.
What I didn't get around to mentioning is that I'm infinitely persuadable once I'm in the chair. If you look trustingly into my eyes while running fingers through my hair, I'll say yes to anything.

i'm sorry you didn't get a haircut! though i can promise you that if they wanted people who were REALLY open instead of the normal just-plain-open, then the were really going to cut loose with the partially-shaved-head-mullets-with-misplaced-long-pieces. you're probably purdier and better off.
