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.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."

"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.

ah. that makes sense she'd go more blond then.

You know what works great??? Black over grey! (I swear every new hair I get is silver now! I kind of want to grow it out but I don't think I'm ready yet.)

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

Or was that tasting like strawberries?

Willow tasted like strawberries, according to magical!crack guy. No canonical evidence on her smell.

ION, when Nicole Kidman was in Moulin Rouge, I think she was, at that time, literally the most beautiful woman in the world.

Also, why is it NOT YET 5:00??? Have I not suffered enough???

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

My boss is letting us go home at 2, and is ferrying some of us home. She may be an absolute whackaloon, but she's quite compassionate sometimes.

Stay safe, if not dry, Juliana.

What are people doing this weekend?
