If I can just do about 10 minutes of concentrated work, I can do my post office run and leave for the weekend with a clear conscience. Help! Concentration, please!

My elder sister's hair was that strawberry red and she, too, has gone sort of steel gray/white.

It's the perfect clock for Nilly.

Coolest. Kid. Ever.

Provided his name isn't Anakin.

I first saw her in Dead Calm, so I have trouble thinking of her as anything but a redhead.

Ditto, especially since she looks so much like a very close friend of mine (and onetime unrequited crush) with the red hair.

I thought the blond suited her in TO DIE FOR at least, but it has had a tendency to wash her looks out of late.

In a few years, NK will be nothing but a white blur on the screen.

If she would STOP wearing white, beige and light gold, this wouldn't be such a problem.

Oh, and she shouldn't stop wearing heels just because her hubby is short, IMO.

Can you cover grey with strawberry color? As someone who is getting increasingly grey, she has my sympathies.

Also, I can't imagine what it means to smell like strawberries. Fake strawberry smell is gross.

But the sheer amount of maintenance required to keep the blonde (and the Botox) could also be used to maintain the strawberry, at least.

Blonde over grey is WAY easier than getting a red over it to look anything other than pink or orange. Blonde over greying strawberry is not much more than a good toner.

"Hangry"-- still a word that can make me bust out laughing.

In re Kidman's beiged-out blonde, I presume it's easier to maintain blonde coloring over gray hair than red. (Red is notorious for washing out, so I imagine it would just have difficulty taking in gray.) That might explain the straightener, too: if the gray comes in a different texture than the not-gray, better to treat it all than to try to get one section of your hair to behave.

Also, I mean, they're trying for the effect of a pure ceramic head. I swear, I don't know how old she is, because she looks more and more like a robot every day.

My mom's original deep auburn hair has insisted on going a mousy brown as she has aged, instead of greying or going white. She always says that if it went the steel grey of her mom or the white that both my sister and I are turning (or, rather, I am--my sister's been coloring hers since her mid-20s), she'd let it go natural. Instead, she keeps coloring it auburn, which takes more effort than if she blonded it more, but that just looks wrong on her.
