Or was that Playboy?

Playboy. And Rio worked there too.

Hi, y'all!! I haven't been around in forever t Kermit wav e and flail and I think I skipped like a billion messages, but lookit!! My town is getting it's very own Kinky Boots store!! Locally owned and operated!!

The stripper part is odd, but given that the city's largest tax payer is our local Deja Vu, she's not dumb to branch out that way.

So when your hairdresser doesn't do the color you want you just tell him and go back and get it fixed, right?

This is my dude for years and I loooove him. We've never had this happen before and I am at a loss. We were rushed as I was leaving so it wasn't all the way dry. It looked good and I tipped him his usual pretty big tip. Now that I see it in sunlight I think it's pretty but not what I wanted. How does this work money-wise?

It looks nice so I'm not walking around looking bad, but I don't want to cough up a fair chunk of cash and not have what I want. And yes, as usual, I'm fretting about the money.

I brought a picture. That color is IN my hair, but not enough of my hair if that makes sense. He did two different foils. When they came off I wanted more of the dark color and less of the light. He put in some toner. Its more of the dark color now, but I feel like there is too much of MY color still so the change is not the dramatic one I was going for.

If you're not happy, go back and talk to him about it, especially if you're a regular. He wants you to be happy with your hair.

Be warned, though, that fixing color is tricky. I had a color issue with a new colorist in CT (my hair turned out clown red). She fixed it and I really liked the new color, but 6 months later, a bunch of it broke off. Just my cautionary tale.

Thanks.

Yeah, my hair is pretty fine so that's definitely a fear.

I really didn't have much choice in the fixing, but if you just don't like it, you should still let him know. Maybe go in so that he can see what you don't like about it, so that it doesn't happen again.

YOU GUYS. I AM HILARIOUS.

Here, in case anyone forgot, is my wedding dress: [link]

Here is my damn PROM DRESS from 24 goddamn years ago: [link]

So, I have a type, it seems. And it hasn't changed much in a quarter of a century.

(The Prom picture is even cooler, because those 2 gentlemen on either side of me, who I have cropped out for privacy reasons, were my English teacher and my Algebra teacher. NO ONE IS AS COOL AS ME.)

This IS hilarious. And, you look faboo in blue.

I think we might be twins in parallel universes. My teachers we all my besties in HS and, I definitely have a type clothing-wise. Whenever I _really_ like something, it is a safe bet I actually own it already.

Just got a reminder of how idiosyncratic bodies can be.

A friend of mine suffered a reaction for no reason anyone could determine. Could not sleep. No appetite. lost 20 pounds in six weeks. And every test on earth found nothing. Finally a nurse redid the in-depth interview. "Did you change anything?" "I answered that at the beginning" "Answer again. Can you think of any change no matter how small.."

Well it turned out that having passed menopause she decided it was time to drop the birth control she had been on since the age of 30, when she decided that three kids was plenty. They put her back on the birth control pill; She is eating and sleeping again, and has gained back 18 of those 20 pounds over the past three months. And eventually they will try tapering her off in small gradual increments, the way they get people off predsizone. Anyway, cheers to the nurse who had the hunch to run the questionare again instead of trusting that it had been filled out the first time. And I'm guessing that is not the normal reaction to going off a birth control pill. Don't know which kind she used.

Bodies is weird, yo. And birth control pills are hormones, and hormonal changes make your body do the wacky.
