About This Quote

It is no longer enough to be attractive in public. We must now be ugly! A little more than a year ago, I had my hair cut quite short. A few months after that, I had my hair color changed. Previously, I went to the hairdresser once a year for a touch-up.

Now, I go every three months. The new look was quite popular with my friends, all of whom encouraged me to keep it up. One of them even gave me some good advice: “You are not only attracting the opposite sex, but also other people’s attention so you can get your job done without having to work at it!”
