Look at my burn!!! It is terrible!!! Right on my forehead. It is really big and sometimes throbs. I got it from using Selene’s curling iron last week. Here is how it happened. First of all, it is all my fault, and it is hygiene related. My hair was really greasy. Last week I was so exhausted from doing shows that I just gave up on washing my hair. If you ever see me doing a show, and it looks like my hair is wet, it is actually not wet, it is greasy because I am tired!!!! People who are working with me, like Ian, usually notice this and then start to yell at me to wash my hair. Anyway, my hair was really greasy and I saw Selene using a curling iron and her hair looked so nice and not greasy and I thought that if I used it that it would somehow make all the strands lie together. Only a dummy wouldn’t realize the only way to have the strands all lie flat together is to wash it, but of course I was too lazy to do that. So I took Selene’s curling iron to my weary head and tried to scoop up my greasy, separated bangs with it. The iron was as hot as it could be, and sizzled when it hit my hair. There was a distinct bacon smell. Then I started laughing and showing off to everyone about how my hair was greasy and now it smelled like bacon. As I was going on and on about it, the iron slipped through my greasy bangs and landed right on my forehead! It burned!!! I was so mad that I burned myself and desperately looked around for someone to blame but it was all my fault!!! Now I have this terrible burn!! Please be careful if you are a showgirl or fancy type who must curl your bangs!! Make sure they are clean!! Do not show off about the dirtiness of your hair that smells like bacon!!! Don’t burn your forehead like I did!!!
Ouch! Sorry that happend! Next time it does, burn the other side identically in reverse fashion so you’ll look like a Klingon…
Healing will resolve…time will erase.
Forgive me for laughing at your misfortune – this sounds so much like a moment a former co-worker had!
A woman came into the office to interview for a position as my husband’s secretary. She looked a bit like Quasimodo with her swollen eye and the unusual twitch. In speaking to another co-worker, the candidates niece, we learned that she had burned her eye with a curling iron that morning! She was hired!
Three years later we occasionally break out the curling iron punchline just to keep it real! Thanks for sharing this moment with us! Know that we laugh with you, not at you… Oh, you’re not laughing yet…
The burn had to suck. My mother-in-law says bleach helps it stings but helps with keeping scarring at bay. May be a wives tale who knows. I love your pictures. I watched your show. You rock:) I now have 2 fav celebs YOU and Jenny McKarthy(sp?) If you get a chance read her books. She is funny but real.Â
I like the comment about making it even. I have done this so many times with my own iron….but always closer to my hairline. Guess you need a steadier hand.
