I forgot about the "red ribbon"! My mom would tell me to pin a red piece of ribbon to my bra...LOL... Instead I have a piece of red ribbon in my glove compartment.
I never heard of the haircut superstition or grabbing your ass...
I also have one of those big ole red ginzo horns...This one to be exact:
I keep this in the glove compartment too. I "joked" with my honey and told her I was going to hang it from my rear view mirror. LMFAO. There goes Guido going down the street! She forbid me. Heha..
Another superstitious I forgot to mention earlier is when I travel and fly I carry 2 medals with me. St. Christopher (Patron of Safe Travel) and a Praying Hands medal. I hate to fly, so I keep these in my pocket with me.

AND....if you think someone is going to put the malocchio on you...you need to have a piece of something red on your person (my mother routinely pinned red ribbons to our undershirts as kids). Also...if you are pregnant and see something that frightens you...in the words of my mother..."Grab your ass, never grab your face in fright because then the baby will have a birthmark on its face, but who cares about a birthmark on the ass?" LOL...thanks for the thread Con!
