Tess got herself a nifty hairdo recently. It's what's known in tonsorial circles as a pixie cut. Yes, it's a bit boyish, I know. My wife was slightly horrified when she and I returned from the haircut place. Barrettes were assembled, to signify to the world that she's a girl. But aesthetics aside, we had a good reason for giving the T-Bird such a short 'do.
