Tricks for softening up tough leather like this so that the belt can actually be buckled properly instead of refusing to bend enough to do so?

HAIR POLL

  • Jul. 17th, 2009 at 4:07 PM
So I've been thinking. I need a bit of a change. And by "change," I mean "haircut."

Should I

A, cut most of my hair off until it's about 2 inches long? (I'm going from about mid-chest-length here.)

B, do nothing and let it keep growing,

or, SECRET OPTION C, get a mohawk. Which would be about a foot long.

(It would grow out in time for the wedding, I swear, Kelly.)


Tell me what you think, LiveJournalz.
