So I was all set to belt out a blog post this morning, cleverly titled ‘How To Style Curly Hair’ (and beat the frizz!) because, “Excuse me, I hope you don’t mind me asking, but how do you get your hair to curl like that?” is a question I get asked on a very regular basis!
I’d set up my tripod, wifi-ed my camera to my phone so I could take 4,372 head shots in order to get 3 good ones, raced through each step required to get perfect 80’s style spiral perm curls (which is definitely no easy feat!), had two steps to go when BAM! the battery in my camera died.
That’d be right, I thought to myself as I removed the battery from the camera and shoved it into the charger. Talk about massive first world problems. How am I meant to get this blog post done now? I mean there’s at least 2 people waiting to read it!
One coffee and a quick flick through a magazine later and the battery was good to go, so it was crisis averted. Hooray!
I finished taking the hair/head shots in record speed, jammed the memory card into my computer, uploaded the photos and began importing them into photoshop. You know, so I could do a quick removal of the shocking old lady pigmentation that is covering my face re-size of the images, when BAM! Photoshop decided to throw a tanty.
Oh FFS, what is with all the first world problems this morning? I thought to myself while wondering if it would be wrong to have a vodka at 10 in the morning patiently waiting for Photoshop to resume transmission.
But sadly, it wasn’t meant to be. Photoshop is still playing up, so the curly hair post will have to wait until tomorrow.
Which is probably just as well, because at the moment this feral humid weather that insists on hitting us every Summer is wrecking havoc with my curls! They’re bigger than ever and quite frankly, my head is looking a lot like our good friend Charmaine!
What first world problems are bugging you at the moment? And, perhaps more importantly, how’s the humidity in your part of the world?!
