    got2be Smooth Operator

    If you follow me on Twitter, you will know that some days I put too much products in my hair and I call it prod-yuck.  With short hair, you always have to style it or else you will look like McLovin’.

    My mom emailed me last night and told me that Hankel Consumer Goods Canada sent me the latest and greatest from got2be. If you don’t know them – they are from Schwarzkopf and they make cute yummy hair products in the best bottles ever. I am already a fan of their Glued hairspray that looks like a fog horn.

    I am really excited to try the Smooth Operator, cashmere Lustre Lotion this week!

    Thank you for being innovative, outstanding and creating products that really work so I can avoid days like this.. ha ha

    Blonde Asian

    Dolly Parton once said…”I’m not offended by dumb blonde jokes because I know that I’m not dumb. I also know I’m not blonde.” That’s funny. I was walking on Richmond on Friday and a sleazy club promoter smirked at me and said, I like your hair blonde. I replied: I’m a natural blonde. When I was in NY, most people think I am Japanese because I wear my hair light. I am Chinese (Shanghai + HK). What do you think?


    full Japanese, not Japanese (Yvonne), 1/2 Japanese (Kimora)


    Wikipedia says:
    the date of the genetic mutation that resulted in blonde hair in Europe has been isolated to about 11,000 years ago during the last ice age. Before then, Europeans mostly had black hair and eyes, which is predominant in the rest of the world.

    Yay, I want to be a mutant.

    Celebs like Eve can change her look all the time, she is truly a style chameleon! Why is she so fabulous! Rapper/singer Eve is one of my favorite style icons. I don’t know what she has been doing lately, but from her last video Tambourine, I can say that I definitely love her blonde the best. But… What about me?For some people, changing their hair color is an earth shattering experience… for people like me (and Eve!) we love experimenting! I often change my hair color because 1, I participate in hair shows as a hair model. 2, I like to switch it up based on my mood. 3, I sometimes just want to match an outfit or a certain look I am going for! Am I crazy? I don’t know. My hair is not damaged at all, maybe a little dry. I think the blonde me appeals to my Gemini side: fun loving, adventurous and bold. My black hair is more of my Cancer side: emotional, introspective and passionate. I am a cusp, so can I have both? My brown hair many people love the best, it’s… well, kind of typical to me. My red? Like all fashionistas lament, doesn’t last because the vibrancy washes out. Sigh. I am currently blonde.

    Here is my hair routine: I use Garnier everything.


    and I style with

    shortsexyhair Frenzy bulked-up texture

    and Schwarzkopf Osis+Thrill fibre gum

    and Schwarzkopf Osis+ Magic Gloss serum before I blow dry

    It’s great to be a blond. With low expectations, it’s very easy to surprise people!
