I could devote a whole blog to my hair and call it a hairblog

I've never been absolutely certain of what I want to do with my life, which is why I've considered a number of possible careers. Astronaut. FBI agent (preferably one with kicking style and short red hair). New York Times columnist. (Okay, that one was mostly considered for me by my mother.)

But never once have I considered the possibility that I could become a model. Until now!

Heh, a hair model, that is. Today I went downtown to participate in a "model call" at the Bumble and bumble University Model Project, which is a fancy way of saying I waited in a long line with lots of other women to determine my hair's "suitability" for a Bumble styling class, where "professional hairdressers from top salons in the country" participate in "advanced cutting and styling training." Which is a fancy way of saying: Free haircut!

As I was leaving, appointment card in hand, I noticed a crafts services table set up just outside on the cobblestoned sidewalk (who knew that 13th Street west of 9th Avenue was cobblestones?). Fortunately, someone else thoughtfully decided to ask the crafts services guy what was being filmed: a television show called Six Degrees.

Cobblestones, an industry sighting, Poetry in Motion and a free haircut: four more reasons New York is the greatest city on earth.
