A short movie about the last 20 plus years of my life, according to my hair. There’s music, so please adjust your sound. If you want.

Oh.
My.
God.
Bows in recognition of a comedy goddess
Awesome. And I wouldn’t have sued you even if you HADN’T done hairstyling for all my happy employees. Oh, man. Brilliant. To make it even funnier (possible?) my computer froze at the 20 second mark as if to emphasize that Farrah hair-do to the max.
Of all your looks and potential careers, I think the Conehead was the most likely. I’m sorry it didn’t pan out. I’m coming back later after I’ve had my coffee to watch this.
YOU ARE BRAVE!
BUT DAMN FUNNY!
thanks JD. i had fun playing with the photos after seeing it on Jannie’s blog, one thing lead to another and I have to grab a post when I can. I will say your post stayed with me all of yesterday like a catchy tune. I read it like a bazillion times. I even made a little rap to it while I was in the shower. What is wrong with me? I guess I was feeling kinda gangsta and had to resist the urge to go around asking people – for play of course – can I tap that?
JD at I Do Things´s last blog ..I Can Tap That so you don’t have to
That.
Was.
Awesome!
My favorite was the double for the chick from The Cosby Show and 0rpah (yeah, I’m afraid of her hence the misspelling). And I truly loved Mister’s second to last hair. It’s news anchor hair. Love that!
Bra to the vo!
Hey if your agent ever resigns can I take her place? Yeah, she’s a power chick in my mind.
thank.
you.
cardiogirl!
ah, wasn’t that hair do so Vannessa-ish? I have to go back and look at mr.’s news anchor hair, lol.
And if my agent resigns or gets fired (you hear that woman) you get her job. Then you will be a power chick. Actually you’re already a power chick. and i want paper please.

I could NOT stop laughing at Valley Jesse Raphaella!
You’re one of the most cleverest, funniest, and unique bloggers I’ve ever met.
So glad I know you, Val!
you got me cheese’n over here, ron. that does mean grinning, right? how come i just can’t say i’m grinning from ear to ear. thank you sir. 4 times. wow. i think i watch it just to dance to the music. i watched it so many times last night when i should have been sleeping – will have to watch it again to see if it makes sense.
thanks for the compliments ron, you guys who come here keep me going, even when i tire out, am confused and have doubts. thanks for visiting.
Ron´s last blog ..My Official Summer Bitch Post
Hilarious. And so brave of you, digging up all those photos. I can’t stand to look at mine.
the mother, i have to pull you aside for a bit and come clean – those pictures are of my face only. the website i used supplied hair styles and looks from different years only. there are no pictures of me growing up. but glad you laughed. yay.

I cannot laugh loud enough to express how funny this is. They say laughter is good for the soul, and Val, you consistenly make my soul good.
what’s up sister max. i’m glad you had a good laugh, it’s therapeutic for the soul. and speaking of therapy, i agree with you, so please don’t forget to schedule me an appointment. i’ll show up. just make sure you have a therapist for my therapist. she’s gonna need it. no wait, make it a him.
Oh, the girl on the Cosby show! What was her name on the show? I recall her real name, Tempest Bledso I think but can’t recall her character name. I met the Elvin guy from the Cosby show. He was the husband for one of the daughters. Really nice dude.
Anyway who knew you had so many brushes with greatness? I grant immunity to bad haircuts in the 80s because it simply could not be avoided.
vanessa was her name ricardo. you met elvin? cool. elvin was married to sandra, the eldest daughter. thanks for stopping by and the immunity. that’s sweet!

That was awesome!
thanks vered.
Awesome clip!
The Cosby show was my favorite back in the 80’s.
same here. thanks!
Based solely on your post, I was excited to get home so I actually watch the video (stupid work computer and their security limits…lol). Now after reading the comments, I can’t wait and am currently arguing with myself about whether I really and truly need to stay late tonight at work like I planned.
i have the same security issues at work. hate it.

this is seriously the funniest, bravest thing I’ve seen in ages, Valley Jesse. NO LIE
It must be nice to know you always have a promising career as a cutting edge hair stylist as a backup career… not that you need one!
hi margo, thanks. i had fun with it. haven’t made a video in a while – i was just going to post the pictures, but i said, well let me see what else i can do with them and made a hairumentary.

Ohhh maan…this is funny. I like this idea than writing a loooong and endless paragraph about yourself. Well, each of us has a life story though we can’t finish it one page. Anyway, it’s nice knowing you Valerie. Your hairstyle before really rocks! I’m sure those are the trends before.
hey raquel, it was a lot of fun for me, thanks. a movie does break up the monotony of the written word, doesn’t it?
Raquel´s last blog ..BPI Frustrating Service
Oh, you made me laugh again. I just noticed your title. Awesome! You’re a funny woman.
after giving it some thought, i should have titled it hairstory, that would have been more accurate. oh well. next time.

Ahahahahhahaahhahahahahha
I am peeing in my pants, and I am going to watch this AGAIN.
hey you have to clean that up. lol. what’s up meleah! i’m going to laugh with you then. i really loved making this video. i makes me laugh and would look so great performed and narrated on stage, with a huge screen. ROFL. oh the silliness.

The Oprah Hair is also a total classic.
not 100% certain it’s oprah hair, but i had to go with my instincts and it was screaming oprah. at one time or another.

The Lisa Bonnet style also rocks
you know i wasn’t even thinking LB, probably because she’s lighter than i am – and i remember vanessa having a lopsided hairdo one season.

the surprise ending of your daughters father’s photos are hysterical. I think I might have to check that website out!
i’m going to get shot in the leg. again.

OMG! Thanks for the laugh…I’m glad my stomach’s mostly healed up or that would have been painful. I wish I could share my own story, but I have no photos from my youth. Too many bad memories…I gave whatever I had left to my aunt years ago.
sandy already split a gut, meleah took care of her pants and the carpet, so no splitting open anything else.
ooh lana, just give me the peace sign. hold your laughter until you heal, but when you feel better, bust a gut! until then, respect the pouch. hehehe. take care.

I hope you have a great week,

Geez, Louise! My first visit to your blog and I’m ROLLING ON THE FLOOR LAUGHING and picking up dog hair in the process! You got the humor down to your toes, what talent. I’m gonna have to spend a little time going through every single one of your posts, so I’ll see you in a year or two.
Your BEST message: quit takin’ life so friggin’ seriously! Thanks for that~~

hi neo and welcome to my blog, had to fish your comment out of spam, sorry about that. when i read your comment i started to laugh all over again at myself. i really enjoyed making the video, on a whim too. when i listen to the background music on the video on my way to work, sometimes i narrate the words and as the photos fade in and out on a big screen in my mind – don’t tell anyone the locals are starting to talk – and i laugh all the way to work. sad? well glad i made you laugh, that’s what i love to do. thanks for visiting and leaving a comment.

There is something about a haircuts in particular decade that makes us all laugh of them in next decade. Now some haircuts looking like 80’s “short in front, long in back” idea are coming back. And within 15 years we will laugh at people who are wearing such haircuts again, just like we laugh of afro and other styles with long hair. Soon maybe shaving head will become funny? who knows?
hey thomas and welcome to my blog. you have a point, afros were funny looking, but people, mostly dudes, wear them now and it’s okay. those haircuts from the 80’s were funny, but i guess with a baldie, there really is nothing to laugh at.

You are too darn hilarious!!! I wish I could do something like this but with a newborn right now, it’s close to impossible because I’ll bet it takes a bit of time. Thanks for making the effort though, on our behalves!
oh gosh you had the baby, dang. i missed that one. i will be over to see if you have any pictures up. congratulations. tee must be having a ball playing big sister. yeah it took some time to do, several hours, but it was fun, i was making it up as i went along. thanks for stopping by.

oh darn, is my self-confidence showing? i will tuck it back in. well those weren’t really photos of my hair styles, but could have been i guess if i had any photos of me growing up. just an entertaining way for me to play with the photos on the site mentioned at the end of the video.

Valerie, you certainly went far above and beyond the call of duty on this one! I laffed and laffed. Very creative. I thought your other half looked really cute in the final one. And my kid has said that same thing to me too, wanting to look like her dad, not me. And I can’t blame her!
I would’ve loved your Talk Show I’m sure. Maybe it’s not too late…
hey jannie, hope you had a good vacation. well, you inspired this post after reading yours, so thank you. i had a lot of fun with it.

LMAO Valerie – You are brave. I had some terrible eighties hairstyles and nineties come to think of it but I wouldn’t dare show them on my blog. I had the exact same “hairspray” one as you did – I cut it myself because my mother said it wasn’t worth paying for the things I did to my hair.
hey cath, i’m not brave at all or am i? those weren’t my actual hair styles, but they were provided by the site, yearbookyourself.com. if i had pictures of myself back then though, i’m sure some of the styles would have been spot on.
Brilliant! Just brilliant! I could not stop laughing the whole way through even if I tried!! You have such a great way with words.

Great presentation. nice story. I can not stop laughing!
