Salvador Dali [1] “Those who do not want to imitate anything, produce nothing.” Salvador Dali

My hairstylist is an artistic genius. I sit in her chair, and let her do whatever she wants. But today, for the first time in our 10-year relationship, I brought in a page from a fashion magazine of a haircut I really liked. I was a little timid about it, not knowing how she’d react. Would she get put off at my suggesting she copy someone else’s vision? Of course not. She loved the haircut, and told me how much she appreciates drawing inspiration from whatever sources she can. That’s inspiring.
