Perhaps am wearing sign on back of sweater which says, "Am v. v. self conscious about hair-lightening disaster, please comment at will." After running Comment Gauntlet, have decided to hide in office for rest of v. long, snowy day.
Comments received thus far:
"How's it going, Blondie??"
"Brighter is better, I say."
"Oh my, I almost didn't recognize you! It looks great!"
"You look stunning!"
"What did you do to your hair? It looks gray! Now I know what you'll look like at 40."
"It's not bad."
"What's your natural color?"
"It's kinda like Jennifer Aniston's when she went through that super long hair phase. Remember?"
Uh, yes. Do indeed remember. Are you saying that am in need of a haircut as well?? Was also expressed opinion of over-talkative hairdresser at pricey salon. So, yes, am aware that Little House on the Prairie-esque locks are not highly fashionable in this century, but if Jennifer Aniston can get away with it, why not this gal? Ok, silly question. Is married to Brad Pitt and thus excluded from all ridicule as has achieved goal worthy of all merit. That is why. Is true that contemplate lopping off hair every time it gets stuck small hooks while fastening bra, but am fearing would face some drastic separation anxiety if indeed went through with it. Besides, T (v. charming hairdresser at said salon), walked by yours truly, doubled back, ran fingers through pre-disaster hair and said,
"Beautiful hair! It's very difficult to keep hair that long so healthy and shiny! Especially colored hair! It's beautiful."
"Thank you."
"Just gorgeous."
"Thanks (blushing)."
Perhaps pre-color catastrophe nullifies T's praise, but am still not getting it cut. Would miss looking like Laura Ingalls. Getting it swatted at by terrorist RK. Or getting it pulled during rowdy... um, well, ahem. Indeed.
