See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

Oh dear Lord, blonde pixie msbelle is adorable! Were your fists extra wee at the time?

I'd make a thoroughly horrible blonde, and red is no longer an option since the gray hairs have started emerging in force (most reds, even the deep ones, fade to bleached-out orange on gray/white hair), so I'm fiddling with deeper and darker browns but haven't found one I like yet. Downside to having very short hair -- the color grows out extra-fast and the gray hairs are visible again less than two weeks post dye.

I had a crazily hectic and productive morning at work, and have now wasted most of the afternoon trolling the internets for ANTM commentary. Am now mildly depressed that (a) nobody is as smart and witty as the Buffistas, and (b) the majority of the non-Buffistas out there seem to think that the two women who seemed most interesting to me are relentlessly fugly.

Happy birthday, Katie! So glad to see that you're visiting and lurking and soaking up all our good wishes, even if your work doesn't permit a lot of posting.

me blond

Awww! That's a great photo.

I was strawberry blond-ish for part of my senior year in HS. With big deathrock/Cyndi Lauper hair. In retrospect, bleaching my hair wasn't the best idea I'd ever had, and NO, I have no photos of it.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Would your mom?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I'm actually surprised that you don't have your eyebrow pierced, juliana.

I've been trying to assemble various examples of my hairstyles over the years, but I'm missing Tina Turner and Jheri curl, mostly. This underestimates the persistence of the blonde, since it was a good ten+ years, and will be back again soon enough.

So, honestly--what image does the short hair convey? I would love to have it this short all the time, but we're going to be looking at this too--there's no way around it.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

I kind of feel like the red angled bob is my one true hairstyle, but I am dangerously bored with it.

Substitute "blue pixie cut" and Juliana is me.

When I was a redhead, I used to get bored much faster. When I was a blonde, I didn't so much get bored as tired of the maintenance. But ohhh, the allure of the platinum bleached head!

NO. SHE WOULD NOT.

(Actually, I lie, and if I can find the photo from my senior year that's of me and the original line-up of Alice In Chains right after I did their hair and makeup for a show, I will have Pete scan it in so I can post it. But that would be the only photo of that hair I'm willing to show people.)

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

I'm actually surprised that you don't have your eyebrow pierced, juliana.

See, Perkins? ita thinks it'd be a good idea.... Well, actually, she didn't say that, did she? Heh.

But ohhh, the allure of the platinum bleached head!

I know!

But that would be the only photo of that hair I'm willing to show people.

But it would be enough for our black souls.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

I used to have short, peroxide blonde hair.

ME TOO! OMG!

Now this is my kind of nostalgia. I've seen pix of msbelle with even shorter hair but that particular picture is SUPERINCREDIBLYCUTE.

I would love to have it this short all the time

Not that you need somebody to validate that choice but you certainly do rock that look.

It's not so much that it's a good idea...maybe it's a truth unmade.

I'm with Jessica--I think blonde would actually look pretty good on me (with the blue eyes and pinkness of me), but the maintenance would make me insane. And my eyebrows would look weird, so I'd have to dye them too. And that just gets crazy. So no blonde for me, I'm thinking.
