and if I get really daring, maybe the longish (that's longish?) pixie:

This is my first choice for you, and not just because it's shorter. I think it's the kind of cut that would be very easy for you to maintain and style, but would also look super cute on you.

A very fair (and I'm fair, so for me to notice) woman I used to work with got her lashes tinted--swore by it. And it really brought out her pretty eyes. I would go for it, brenda.

eta...

Thanks, Hec.

Andi! Sorry I missed you in IM! I finished tearing the 1970's paneling from my 1890's basement stairway and I decided the beaded boards behind it couldn't wait for a coat of primer over the horrible pink and green.

Painting beaded boards? work.

Followup:

Has anyone else seen beaded board installed horizontally?

Hec, I like the platinum and orange (though I'd change it to red), but I kind of need my front hair to remain at cheekbone-length right now, for ease of scar-disguising and mental health.

I like the idea of Cindy with a pixie cut....

Okay, I admit it. I'm trying to call up a mental picture of Cindy, and it isn't working. Do you have a picture of yourself that you're willing to link?

Sigh.

My first pet, Bathsheba, died today. She had the cat version of lung cancer, and deteriotated rapidly since Tuesday, till we figured out what was going on this afternoon and realized that there was nothing to be done. Ms. H came home from work early, we petted her for a while and then she went under.

{{{{CaBil & Ms. H}}}} I'm so sorry.

quick question, long-term or long term, nonprofit or non-profit?
