on official request im sending some greetings from turkey, mainly to sophie but of course also to anyone else who cares to read. life here is pretty unexciting since im mainly spending my time figuring out what im gonna do next in the whole life-scheme-thingey (in practice, watching crap tv hoping a gorgeous idea will dawn on me). the amount of crap tv ive watched has also made me seriously scared of american culture, but i guess i have myself to blame after seeing 'living lohan', 'denise richards - the true story', dr 90210 (blatantly sponsored by plastic surgeons) and 'extreme hollywood', pretty much all at once. but then again, they say americas time as a super power is pretty much done and asia is taking over, so perhaps instead of 'extreme hollywood' we'll be watching 'extreme beijing'? well itll be a change at least.
yesterday i went to the hairdresser to fix my roots - geez that sounded like a proper 'legally blonde'-kind of sentence - and was quite fascinated by the service. first of all, for reasons unclear to me hairdressing in turkey is a pretty much exclusively male job, and unlike any 'normal' european country these males are not gay! secondly they don't just have one hairdresser per customer but several. I honestly had four hairdressers blowdrying my hair at the same time (tho it soon went back to the 'normal' number of three), which made me giggle tho i tried to keep a straight face. as it appeared this attention was not due to me being a blonde tourist as i saw others receiving the same treatment. im thinking this might be turkeys way of solving unemployment. alternatively its an undercover brothel.
further i bought an irrestibly cute/ugly brown t-shirt today picturing a psycho-happy radish saying 'eat veg'! i thought of getting one for sophie but as a cheater-vegetarian she doesnt get to wear such fancy stuff.
gros bisous, l'autre blonde
