Boyfriend's Haircut Less Than Successful?

Dear girls, have you ever attempted to cut your boyfriend 's hair and have it come out...well less than beautiful? The picture below is a classic example of my boy's after I hacked at it with a pair of scissors and no comb...I swear it's turned out better in the past! I haven't practiced in awhile!!

..excuses aside , what CAN you do when your boyfriend looks into the mirror and agrees with you 100% that you went overboard ?

1. Fake it. Tell him with a saccharine smile that you think it looks awesome. Super duper handsome. He may not buy it but that just means you're a bad actor

2. Get your friends to tell him he looks awesome. Bribe them with chocolate.

3. Give him an early Christmas/bday present of wax for him to style his hair with

4. Do not post on his fb apologizing for his hair. Why should you? It looks awesome after all.

5. Tell him if he isn't satisfied you are happy to shave it all off. Or he can get it professionally cut instead of being cheap and getting you to cut it.

6. If all fails give him a hat and tell him that unlike girl's hair, guy's hair grow like weeds. You can try again if he's still too cheap to pay for the hair cut

7. When it grows out watch some YouTube tutorials on hair cutting. This time give him a mirror and go SLOW. Do NOT express your feelings of hate towards his hair. Do NOT treat it like abstract art.

And that, are my 7 golden rules of dealing with a boyfriend after you've hacked at his hair. Anyone got any to add? <3

Neverwhere-BBC Radio



Listened to the BBC Radio version of Neverwhere<3.

James Mcavoy's adorable scottish voice is absolutely perfect for the bumbling Richard Mayhew <3 He seems to utterly natural in his role. Benedict Cumberbach! >///<!!! He only appeared in episode 3 and by then I was so deep into the story that I forgot the Angel Islington was him! Natalie Dormer was absolutely perfect in painting the character of Door. And goodness, The Marquis, David Harewood... I should shut up about now.

It's so incredible how with their voices and sound effects alone they manage to paint an incredibly realistic picture in my head of the story. Perhaps it is because I've already read the book. Perhaps not. I have told my friends who haven't read the book to give the radio play a go just to see if they understand the story without the book. Regardless they are all incredibly talented actors and if an audio CD comes out I am totally buying it <3
