I'm working for Princess Diana

I wore my hair straight today. I usually curl it. I prefer it to be curly because it's naturally wavy and curly just seems easier to maintain than straight. I blow it out and half way through the day, it's wavy again. But my curling iron is broken so I just came to work with straightened hair today. My boss complemented my hair today and I think she did that so I would look at hers. She got her hair cut yesterday and she is really happy with her new cut. She's really in love with her hair today. I was reminded today that my boss is a big fan of Princess Diana. She was talking last week about how much she admired her.
I was reminded by this by my boss's hair style. Because my boss is channeling Princess Diana's hair! She even looked up at me through her bangs, a la Lady Di. I think she must have been practicing this look in the mirror for quite some time. It struck me that we all see ourselves in our own idealized way. The way that others perceive us may be completely unrelated to the way we see ourselves.
So my boss -- this beer-swililng-hard-rock-loving-party girl -- sees herself as Princess Diana. Go figure!
