How did I miss the pictures of the hair?

By not reading Natter? Well, since you asked (and not because I'm a shameless attention whore, not at all really shut up), here. Look! Red hair! Even more fun, for me, since I've done red before, dark hair! It's always been more like the blonde kind of red before, but this time (what with the coffee and the powdered cloves) I managed to get to the brown kind. And I love it!

not so dark as to be jarring.

Well, that's good. It was untried territory for me -- never really gone darker before, but I've always been curious about it. It took me a little while to adjust, but now I love it. I keep staring at my reflection, which is, er, sort of frowned upon, but I want to say, "But I'm not looking at me, I'm looking at my hair! Isn't it wonderful?"

You look fantastically snoggable here.

That is just an excellent, excellent color on you. In fact, I think that is the color you've always needed.

Very nice hair, Emily!

Thank you! Mind you, looking at those photos, I feel I should point out: the hair really does look that good. I do not. Somehow the camera did something nifty to my skin, and it actually looks good! And not, you know, spotty.

Right, enough crazy mememeMEMEMEEEEE talk. I'm off to bed. Thank you so much for validating my color choice! Yay red!

Oh, and Hec, I think the link's the same for all the pictures, so I'm not sure where I'm looking particularly snoggable. Which will make it harder to try to reproduce it in snogworthy situations.

so I'm not sure where I'm looking particularly snoggable.

You're right, I couldn't link to the picture I wanted. It was the last one. Most snoggable. Also, you look pretty fucking hot.

You won't find a picture where you're not.

Wow, I thought Tucson was hot!

Guh!

Wow. That colour really looks like the colour your hair is supposed to be, if that makes any sense. It really really suits you. Wow. I've always been scared to try colouring my hair red*, lest it end up pink/totally not suit me, but - wow. You look fab. Brava.

*despite spending much of my youth wanting to be a green-eyed redhead. My mum's a redhead. She's got one green eye and one blue eye. I ended up blonde and blue eyed. Huh. Go figure.

Try a pale golden strawberry blonde shade, one that's almost amber.

Should work, as it's basically just adding a warm blush to your existing hair.
