When life becomes too depressing…
…the depressed go to their hairstylists. Especially if they’re as cute and do-able as Eric in Hair Art, Desa Sri Hartamas!
There’s something therapeutic about having my hair washed, my head massaged, and my locks attended to by a good-looking man with a nice smile. When nothing else can bring a smile to my face, this is the place where everybody knows my name, and none of my troubles.
It’s where I spend a languid half-hour staring into the mirror while Eric performs magic with his fingers. Where I gawked at his tanned arms while second-guessing what might lie beneath his… err… exterior?! It’s where I read inane articles about relationships in magazines like Female and hold superficial conversations with an attentive man - at least, there’s one place on earth where I’ll still find that rare breed, if only for half-an-hour!
The best thing about going to the hairstylist is that glowing sense of renewal I get as I walk out the door. Off with yesterday’s tresses, and out I go in today’s style. It’s a shame Eric’s straight. Otherwise, I’d have more in tow!

hey jikon! i share your sentiments as regards to visit to the hairstylist.
i enjoy going to the hairsytlist and having my hair pampered. in fact just last week i was at the hair stylist to colour my hair. it feel so nice to just sit there and yes read ‘female’ or ‘her world’ while someone’s trying to make me beautiful by fiddling with my hair.
you hit the nail on the head when you said “the best thing about going to the hairstylist is that glowing sense of renewal i get as i walk out the door.”. yep exactly how i feel too.
I almost jumped out of my seat when you displayed homosexual tendecies to the presence of Eric …. another gay blogger I know is http://www.zainframe.com ….. have u guys ever …..?
No, we’ve not met, but I think I’ve read his blog a few times. You should tell him about the Pink Blogs List (see link on right), if he doesn’t know about it already.
Ah..and I so agree with you. Especially those rumah kedai salons where they give superb head and shoulder massages while discussing the relationship troubles of a previous client. It’s like listening to a narrative of a soap opera episode on radio. Absurdly engaging.
