rinueWas a hair model for Scarlett yesterday; she was auditioning for a salon that does a lot of commercial work, which is an area she's trying to move into. I hadn't had a haircut since probably February (just from lack of time) and consequently had a lot of length to work with. My hair is now nape-short in back and past my collarbone in front, with curling layers, soft and romantic, as though I am an orchid or exotic bird, swooping gently around my own face.
I could say that it has a 70s feel, but it's a modern sculptural response to the 70s, if anything, with a bit of old Hollywood. Anyway, I look cool and she's pretty much been offered the job. They're negotiating salary.

If I'm a graphic artist doing commercial work, that means I'm doing work for hire, not necessarily that I'm making an ad. I could for instance be designing a logo. This would be distinct from me, say, drawing a comic - which I might hope to sell, but which I would sell as itself rather than as a vehicle for another brand. You'll also occasionally hear "commercial" applied to things like cooking (cooking at a restaurant versus home cooking).
TV and radio advertisements weren't called commercials until the 1930s (and are still called adverts in the UK), and they got the name commercial because of film, radio, and tv people referring to the "commercial" work of putting together the spot for the sponsor.
