The evolution of espresso, Doctor Who style!

So I was hanging a really, really cool poster in my living room this weekend...

Java Dreams by Chris Cosani

Really neat, huh?  James Dean, Humphrey Bogart, Elvis and Marilyn all in the same image and it's one of the better fantasy images I've seen of dead icons.  And since I work as a barrista, I was naturally checking out the vintage espresso machine behind James Dean in the pic.  And then it struck me...

Maybe the creators or Doctor Who were drinking too much espresso when they came up with the design for the Daleks?  We just need to add a coffee grinder and a steaming wand!  Come to think of it, has anyone created a Dalek espresso machine for Whovians?  That would be so incredibly cool!!!

The Marilyn Monroe haircut

I went in to get my hair cut about a week ago.  I went to see Julieta at the El Rio Barber Shop (you can find directions here.)  Here is the picture I showed her:

I really like how it came out!  I was a little worried that it would be too short but now I'm thinking that the next time I go in I'm going to ask for another inch or so off.  It's a snap to style too!  I spend no more than maybe five to ten minutes with a big barreled curling iron and a quick spritz of hairspray and I'm good to go!  I'm tempted to lighten my hair just a tad since my roots are coming out lighter than the rest of my hair, but I'm really satisfied with this style!

I can't talk my hairdresser up enough!  Julieta did an amazing job and was such a pleasant stylist to work with!  Don't let the shops title of barber shop confuse you: they typically have at least two women stylists on staff who are more than happy to work on the ladies!  The prices are really reasonable, actually cheap when you consider the high quality of the work these ladies do.  And there are at least three barbers on staff at all times for the gents.  Will has gone in for a cut many times and swears by them.  So if you are in the west end of Tucson, stop in and get a cut!  You'll be glad you did!
