The hair has been cut! Nape is on display.
Hair dye has also been purchased, but I'm dithering about the actual coloring process. Just lightening it from dark brown to light brown, but still....last time I did home coloring it was a disaster. Might wait for tomorrow when I can get K-Bug to help.
Of possible gothy interest: Antique skull-topped cane for auction.
On top of a long & slender rosewood shaft we find a knob shaped ivory handle boasting the portrayal of a human skull. Due to the complete set of 32 teeth and the count Dracula style collar that is visible at his neck it appears as if the skull was proudly grinning and alive, adding a mythical and slightly humorous note to this fine artwork.
The skull cap is hinged and can be opened up revealing a hollow container where small items such as money coins, medicine or tobacco can be safely stored. The hinges, the collar and the small globules on the jacket collar are made of silver.
The ivory portrait of the skull is highly expressive and very neatly executed with immaculate attention for anatomical detail such as the nose, the eyeholes, the cheekbones or the teeth. Especially remarkable is the naturalistic surface of the skull – the artist achieved to create a real bone texture with delicately incised indentations and skullcap joints.
I would love to be able to tape these boys without being intrusive. They are all singing in unison to Eminem's Without Me. It is too cute for words. (how sexist of me, I thought only girls did that)
Funny summary of what happened to LJ this week:

Harvey just shook his head after I skritched him on the head and petted him for a while. Now I've got drops of cat drool on my monitor. It could be the new acronym. CDOMM? Or CDrOMM maybe. Heh.
I'm kind of torn on the blood and guts, Laura. Sometimes the guts'eye views really help and other times they're like "Oh, God, TMI."
Gronklies.
I slept until 12 today, then fell asleep again from about 5 to 7. No clue what's up, but really just feeling ugh.
I just don't understand my friends, or my family. For more issues than I'd really care to re-hash, things keep taking a twisty turn, not necessarily for the bad, but it's all the point where I just want to hand-wave it and say "Whatever." This is tiring.
