I usually chop my hair with scissors by pulling it out and cutting it all at about the same length and then I ask Peggi to help with the rear. It takes all of five minutes. But today I decided to tag along with Peggi when she went to Chi Wah’s on Monroe Avenue.
Our friend Jeff and Mary Kaye’s daughter, Maddie, works there now and we signed up for her. We chatted with Chi Wah and of course the only thing you can think of when you talk to her is the role she played in “China Doll” and Rochester bust. I haven’t really looked in the mirror yet but I think Maddie did a good job. I’ll know when I get out of the shower tomorrow morning.

Maddie is my favorite hair stylist! She’s the best person I’ve found in town to cut my hair in a way that’s just right for me! I recommend her to anyone! Cheers!
now you have to tell us! what’s her connection to david bowie?
Namesake of the song and busted with.
China Girl came soooo much later, you sure she’s the inspiration?
Maddie told her parents that Bob Dylan stopped in to see Chi Wah when he was in town this past year. Just looked like an old guy to her.
When your lost in the rain
or in love on Monroe Avenue
And your gravity fails
having a bad hair day too
Go see Maddie at Chi Wah
for a wash and stylish cut
just like Dylan does
and don’t forget how much
MARGARET EXPLOSION sends you…
I’m not “sure” of anything.
Iggy co-wrote China Girl with Bowie… and, according to Wikipedia, “Paul Trynka, the author of David Bowie’s biography, Starman, claims the song was inspired by Iggy Pop’s infatuation with Kuelan Nguyen, a beautiful Vietnamese woman.” Given Iggy’s predilection for oriental women & their encounter with Ms. Soo I guess it’s possible.
