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.

Would your mom?

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.

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!

Would your mom?

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.)

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.

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.

It is a wee alley street!

Actually, as I was walking around Hampden the other day, I took that alley street that the liquor store is on and thought how weird it must be to be in that block of rowhouses that back on the school.
