Thanks for all the wise and wonderful words! <br /><br />btw, your own hair sounds gorgeous, so I find it hard to want to push you to change it.

I...Hmmmmm.... drawing inspiration of y'all. I've never dyed so much as a single strand of my hair. (Born a toehead blonde, aged into a dark blonde with natural summer highlights. Long, straight, thick hair. Usually wear it in a bun at the base of my skull or a high ponytail. And, I am the queen of craftily decorated hair barrettes.) <br /><br />As a part of my rapidly developing early, post-divorce, midlife crisis, I've been toying with doing something kind of radical with my hair -- as in face framing streaks of green and/or purple or something equally inappropriately youthful (because I never got this stuff out of my system when I was young, never had the urge then *frowns*). As my friend Sarah (who is 12 years older than me, dyes her very long, graying hair a lovely reddish brown, and is still adding to her tattoo collection as of last Mother's Day) says, "It's only hair. It's the safest form of rebellion." I am lusting after jars of Manic Panic. <br /><br />Y'all're definitely feeding the flames of my hair experimentation fire.... Hmmmmmm..... *rereads comments again* Yup, y'all're my kind of chics. :) *hugs*Rigelhttp://winterlightblog.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1528510907038944744.post-82523064675070302932010-05-25T17:23:15.413-04:002010-05-25T17:23:15.413-04:00Rosina, try the Mohawk!

Thankfully they were emailed to us. So here's a comment from awesome blogger Watery Tart, from Barbara. and from Deb:<br /><br />Watery Tart: I love both new do's--it's funny what a change can do for attitude, but the people around us don't always get it. I alternate reddish and blondish depending on the season (I have the uncolor, naturally) and nobody flinches, no matter how bright.<br /><br />I'd love an outrageous color, but I am way to pasty to pull it off. <br /><br />Barbara: I've never experimented too much with my hair. My older daughter takes the cake on that. But I think the pink bob wig sounds divine. To My Kateness's point: maybe the pink light would be transformational! <br /><br />Deb: Joanne, I promise I will only resort to a mohawk if I have no other choice. Adrienne, all I can say is, bless your heart for thinking you even know my original colour--long gone my friend. But I knew what you meant. Actually, it is the exact same auburn colour with just a few chunky highlights. My Kateness, the reference to Bullwinkle made my day! I am a huge cartoon buff. Love the Rocky and Bullwinkle. "Wanna see me pull a rabbit out of my hat? Oooppps, wrong hat!" Gae, thanks for the kudos and I am begging you to get that hot pink wig! Megan, I am there with you as far as hair change goes. Our family albums read like a Hairdressers Magazine feature. But change is good, right? Fun. After all, it's only hair. What do they say?

And it looks like you've gotten more fit even since the last time I saw you, and you were quite fit then.<br /><br />Barbara, I love you brunette. If that is the right answer I mean.<br /><br />Meanwhile, for about five years now, but especially lately, and ever since I tried one on in a Little Ricky's in NYC, I've been craving a hot pink, straight as a pin bob wig.

Now you just have to watch for how quickly it will grow back. Mine goes all Old English Sheepdog just a week after I get it trimmed. When I first got my hair cut short, I had to wait until after high school, because I didn't want a million comments from every other Captain Obvious on campus. "Wow, your hair is short." "Hey, you got a hair cut." "Short hair omg omg omg!!!!!" etc. Just dying my hair was a hassle back then, lol. And I know exactly how difficult those blond roots can be, Barbara. When I'm of an age that people stop noticing my hair, I think I'll finally shave it off. Too much maintenance.Adriennehttp://www.youtube.com/waitingfor2008noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1528510907038944744.post-1703628273114790792010-05-19T12:13:20.651-04:002010-05-19T12:13:20.651-04:00Barbara, it's amazing how going brunette seems...Barbara, it's amazing how going brunette seems to even have changed the look of your features. I can understand that people didn't recognize you! And Deb, from the pictures above, I think the new 'do is very noticeable and looks great.
