Interview with the author of
Going Gray,
a book about a middle-age woman who decided to stop dying her hair. [link]
My mother does it, my friends all do it, so I hardly gave a thought to that annoying hour, once a month, when I'd sit in the salon getting my dye job. And then I read Anne Kreamer's book Going Gray and everything changed. The former worldwide creative director of Nickelodeon not only traced her own growing-out process (painful), but she also she conducted surveys, hung out in bars, spoke with image consultants, and interviewed tons of women to try and find out exactly why we submit to this, what we're actually trying to get, and how much we're fooling ourselves. Kreamer's sleuthing was fascinating - the information she came up with both disturbing and hopeful - so I called the author to find out more.

I might have gotten a tattoo today. And if I did get a tattoo today, it would be a very cathartic and life-affirming experience in the midst of a whole lot of crazy. And I might not be able to take my eyes off my forearm. If I did get a tattoo today. Which I totally did.

Basically, you made him your Book Shelf Bitch
I'm surprised he survived the dis and re assembling!
So, I just had my first no-show since beginning the new no-show policy.
But, the more frustrating thing? I'm still not feeling well. I could have been home taking it easy, and instead I'm stuck on campus till my next appointment, which isn't until 2:30 p.m. I hope I'm still awake at that point.
