The Platinum Phase

Ummm... I am obviously not around my best friend enough - or any friends for that matter. You just shouldn't be allowed to color your own hair. There should be restrictions on it like perscriptions medications. ("Warning - this package contains chemicals that will make you look like a Playboy Bunny wanna-be. Consult with stylist prior to use.") Here's what I did to myself this weekend.


Call it a bad laundry incident or maybe it's my inner 'Girl Next Door' subliminally trying to win Hugh Heffs affections. Not sure but I am definitely amongst the platinum blondes now.

This would be the smarter version - if such a thing exists!! I was just trying to cover a little root action... seemed simple enough. Yup. I'm an idiot.

in the first pic, i think it looks pretty good! in the second pic, it seems to glow. stay in low lighting for awhile and you're good to go. pony tails, pony tails, pony tails, baseball hat. =)

so maybe i shouldn't go dark brown/black.

WOWZAH! Did you forget to do the bottom half of your hair?
I agree w/ Heather...the first pic looks much, much better than the first and might I suggest a kerchief (spelling might be friggin' off again..but I don't give a shit).
Ohhhh frig it....it looks fine, really! Just tell 'em if they ask, this is EXACTLY what you were hoping for!!!
Heather..you'd look good in black, but you'd have to pierce your nipples (unless you've already done that)...black hair and pierced nipples are the "in" thing in the goth world.

Like I said, I was just trying to color my roots. Not the right color box - obviously!!! Now what do I do????? seek professional help? I'm too embarrassed to go to my gay guy... I'll have to take my chances with somebody else & pray.

you have a gay hairstylist? they're the best!! why be embarrassed? i think it would be wicked funny to hear the hair dying lecture he'd give you. all you gotta do is go to someone and say, tone this down please....but really, if it were me...i'd say f&ck it and wait for it to wear off. i've been a tarnished orange before...and pink. the pink was on purpose though.
NOOOOO my nips aren't pierced!!! you crazy??!!! i willingly got through my teens & early 20's without getting a tattoo when it was the cool thing to do with all my friends...let alone piercing my sensitive bits and pieces! aaahhh. but, there is that witchy side of me hidden away...morticia might be a good look for me...plus it would make K feel better.

yeah...don't try to fix it, you could really fry it (if it isn't already). Go to the gay guy, tell him your friend Heather from back home in Maine was here for the long weekend and you two "might" of had a few drinks and decided to colorah your roots...and taaaa-daaa this is what happened.... just say exactly what I told you and it will be oooookkkkkaaayyyyy!

by the way mom called and Tiffany had her baby, he weighed 9 pounds +, so her lips will be flappin' in the breeze now....LOL

I'm here... Just out playing with my kid. The job is great - no complaints. Did you say that the Manster shaved his head? You are kidding... I didn't think he would actually do it... I told him to up date the 'look' & if hair wasn't working for him then lose it!! Holy ape shit... did he really? I also sent him a new 'ring' for his parts... ask him to show it to you. He may ask to see your bug in return though.

I'm not far away. I'll catch up in the evenings. Keep it coming, I can read fast.

Riddle me this: my hair is still hysterically platinum & what's truly funny is that no one, not even my own family seems to acknowledge it. Is it so bad that they don't want to bring it up or could they possibly think it's "ok if that's what she wants."?

Ok...you made me laugh on the inside...really!
And yes, yes, yes Manster did shave his head...BALD!
And no, I won't show him my bug, it's shy and needs a trim.
As for your family not saying anything about your hair, thats weird...maybe they don't wanna hurt your feelings. I can't believe Olivia hasn't said anything to you...poor thing, maybe you scared her...maybe she thinks that if she says what happened, you'd do it to her...
Wouldn't it be funny if you said to her...Want mommy to color your hair so it will look just like mine?
So you've decided to keep it that color? Did you chicken out on the gay stylist?
I infact cut my hair tonight..it's crooked but I don't care...it feels better, not soooooo dry and brittle. If I tilt my head to the left some...it looks pretty much on the money.
Ok....I'm off to bed. I just finished rinsing the blue kool-aid out of Miranda's ends. She wanted the blue for the soccer game. It was really dark/bright blue until I rinsed, but we ended up with a pale blue. She's excited for her first game.
I'll let you know how it turns out. Oh by the way both high school teams won vs. Bingham tonight...yeah!

hold on. you girls are way ahead of me. first of all, manster WAS bald before...i'm assuming he just shaved off the lower - half - of - head 80's ponytail? i almost pooped my pants when he took off his hat in front of me about a year ago...i had no idea there was nothing under there cuz he wears a hat 24-7.

i still don't think it looks bad. the cool thing is that if you go out walking at night, you won't need to wear reflective gear.

and yes, just vet and i are terribly boring all by our lonesomes. i'm blogging about lions, tigers, and bears for CRIKEY's sake!!!! (i drank a big glass of milk...that always induces LSD-esque dreams)

Jesus, see what happens when I go out of town.

I have a couple of Nana hats if you need to borrow them. Or maybe it will just help provide more light to read by during your group sessions!

Glad to hear the new job is great.
