'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

I'm wondering whether going to an actual barbershop might be a better choice?

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

Mr. S would not go to sleep until well past his bedtime, and then woke up early and was acting out all morning. The afternoon was a little better, as we went to a Pumpkin Festival at a local orchard where he could run around, climb on stuff and play on a bounce pad.(Basically a bounce house base.)

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

Katie, do you still have your ponytail? You have the most gorgeous hair! (I've always been a little jealous) Mine has finally--finally! started to fade to grey a little. I'm ready to strip it to white, ITYW. But how trite would dark roots be?

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

I'm ready to strip it to white, ITYW.

EM decided to do this and it was a big mistake. If your hair is still holding on to color it will be loath to let it go, and you'll have to double strip your hair to get it to white. At which point it will be fried.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I've had a few coworkers with the true platinum dye job, and I always think it looks great.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

Yeah, my hair's so spiderwebby fine and a lot thinner than it used to be, so I'm thinking I'll just stick to color rinses and things and avoid harsh stuff like strippers. It was a...an empty threat. An idle wish.

It's been raining unrelenting for four days and they're predicting four more. I know, PNW. But geesh, DST goes away next week... I'm never gonna see sun again.

I know, kvetch, kvetch, kvetch. Something cheery... Oh! I'm going through my tarot and culling decks/sets to sell. And finding things I'd forgotten I had! It's almost like new-to-me stuff! Better than shopping, because no money spent!

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Would something like overtone silver play nice with your hair, Bev? Yay on the tarot rediscoveries, that sounds fun

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

I've had a few coworkers with the true platinum dye job, and I always think it looks great.

I'd love some rockabilly platinum streaks, but I know I am too damn lazy to stay on top of maintenance, especially since I no longer work across the street from my salon. (I am due soon, though, for my oh-god-the-holidays-are-coming dye job highlights.)

when i die, please bake my ashes into a brick and use me to hit fascists.

I recently discovered Overtone (via Facebook ad, ugh) and it LOVE it.

Hmm, "via Facebook ad" probably means that Russia is responsible for my hair color.... Worth it.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

One of my students (she's in her early twenties) has hair whiter than mine, although she does occasionally tint it with streaks or patches of cyan.
