Has book club felt a little stale lately? Are you worried that everyone will notice you didn’t read the book? Well fret no more, because your crazy cool new haircut will totally save your next meeting. This list of chops, lops, and updos will distract everyone from your preference for the movie version of whatever book everyone’s reading, and add some spice back into your weekly literary lounge-about:
The “Gone Girl”
Does Lindsay’s surprised “You haven’t read Silvia Day?!” have you worried you’re out of the loop with the latest in popular literature? The “Gone Girl” is the perfect chic bob to prove to others that you are both aware of the current pop lit trends, and ready to frame someone for serious violent crimes when necessary.
The “Girl With the Dragon Tattoo”
You know your book club is edgy, but does everyone else? Distancing your book group from the mom group that meets at the wine bar is as easy as shaving some, but not all, of your hair off. This look is the perfect way to counteract sommelier Dave’s latest comment that, “Y’all are so sweet.” (Fuck you, Dave.)
The Charlotte Brontë
The best part of any gal gathering is the exchange of compliments, and frankly, there’s only so much we can say about Stephanie’s nail art. So why not try the Charlotte Brontë? This vintage updo is the perfect throwback for next Thursday’s meeting. Your fellow book lovers will suddenly have tons to say to you, like, “Is your hair different?” and “Did you lose your job?” You can then reply with things like “yes” and “unfortunately, yes!”
The Oprah
Paying homage to our foremothers is a crucial, but often forgotten, book club tradition, especially by Rachel who never saw an episode of SATC. If anyone knows book clubs, it’s our girl Oprah. Reinvigorate your best book buddies by showing some love for the big O herself. For this look, you can choose from one of the many blowouts Ms. Winfrey has had over the years, or just yell empowering phrases with your existing haircut.
The Hagrid
Has Mindy been questioning your passion for the art of literature since you skipped the middle parts of The Alchemist? This wacky hairdo will show everyone that you truly do spend all your time reading, and none of your time showering.
No matter which look you go for, no matter which book the gals are reading this week, we guarantee you these haircuts will show others how vibrant your literary ladies are, and give you plenty to talk about in between lines you memorized from SparkNotes.
