I have the Redken no blow dry cream and it is indeed les bolleaux du chien. It makes me look groomed, gives my curls definition and avoids the "pulled through a hedge backwards look." It makes me look much more groomed. If those of you who are coming on Saturday bring a little pot, and I remember (MI can you text me to remind me?) I will bring my tube and squirt an obliging blob into each.
This is definitely possibly quite horrible of me, and makes me live up to my name, but I heard this week some news about someone who made my life hell for about ten years - she told people I had had an affair with her husband, accused me of shagging someone else's husband (because I am clearly such a siren), and managed to get that person's wife to believe it too, accused me of spreading rumours about her and other people and generally made life very difficult for me, personally and professionally. Anyhoo, having had an affair and divorced the person I hadn't had an affair with, she jacked in her job and moved in with a v v rich man - lived the life of luxury, huge house, pool, horses, didn't work etc etc. She went away for a week with a friend of hers, and when she came home, found that her DP had cleared the house, sold the horses, emptied the joint bank account and disappeared (and he hadn't paid the last several mortgage payments either). There was literally nothing left in the house apart from the fixtures and fittings. He's now gone AWOL and she is having to try and track him down and put the house on the market. I know this is awful for her, and I am usually quite a nice and sympathetic person, but I did think "karma" when I was told.
