My hair
Opal wanted to see a picture of my current hair color. Do not attempt to adjust your monitor, this is my actual hair color. For the moment, sometimes to shake things up I dye it other colors not normally found in nature but oranges are my favorites.
My camera can’t seem to comprehend the real color, but I assure you it’s much more fluorescent than it appears. There’s actually streaks of two colors “fire” and “mandarin” so the color is also deeper than pictured. After a few weeks it’ll tame down into a more faded traffic cone color.
Why orange?
- It’s easy to spot a hair in my food, and identify it as mine or not mine.
- My children *never* lose sight of me at the grocery store.
- I come in handy during traffic emergencies.
- My conservative friends rarely ask me to baby sit.
- If I am lost in the woods I will not be shot by hunters.
- My friends don’t ever accidentally mistake another person for me at a distance, and accuse me of ignoring them later.
- People remember me.
- I like the irony.
- It looks good with pinks, neutrals and earth-tones.
- I’m never accused of being a fully domesticated housewife.
- Makes my Pokémon and Hello Kitty stuff seem not so weird by comparison.
love, love, LOVE the hair!
I wasn’t crazy about it until I read your reasons. Now I WANT IT.
your hair is cool. You probably don’t get your kid’s art teacher saying to you “his work is really subversive” and then reassuring you “oh don’t worry, artists like that sort of thing”. *cries*. You can add that to your list if you like
ROFLOL!!
That is some good reasonings!! I like the color though.
Enjoy!!
