Color my world
Conversation at the Pharmacy
Woman with her cart parked in front of the hair dye: Oh, excuse me, let me get out of your way.
Sue: That's okay. It always takes me a while to remember what color my hair is.

Advantage of dragging your floor-length mirror outside to dye your hair in the back yard: You don't get dye all over the bathroom wall like usual.
Disadvantage of dragging your floor-length mirror outside to dye your hair in the back yard: You get to see your body in a swimsuit in a full-length mirror in the unforgiving light of a fall afternoon (and then I died).

You get dye all over the wall? How do you even do that?
I admit, I'm no Neat Pete with my dye, but... the wall?
You're entirely too brave to go outside to dye your hair. I think my neighbors would think I'd lost it--after their eyes stopped burning from seeing me in my bathing suit.
Des - I have many unique talents. You would be surprised!
Ugh - I always manage to get it on something it is not supposed to be on - wall, sink , clothes, towel, new bathmat...not a ton of it, just enough to be noticeable.
I'm impressed that you dye your hair outside! If I did that, the mirror's permanent home would be outside because I would be too lazy to bring it back inside the house. Because of said laziness, I get highlights at the local "beauty parlor" every 3 months. What an old lady word!
QT - Yep, not a lot. Just ALWAYS a dab in a place where I don't want it and don't notice it until it is too late to clean up.
Alex - here in the land of $75 haircuts, I hesitate to think what color would cost.
Here in the new world we have professionals who will dye your hair for a nominal fee. No muss, no fuss, no scaring the neighbours.
UP - It's that difference between $7 and $90 that gets me to do these nutty things.
Oy to the thought of a full length mirror, daylight, and me in a bathing suit. No, that's not really strong enough. What's a good one word vocalization of total terror?
I get the dye everywhere too. That's why I usually end up at a place where they'll do it for me. Then I (usually) avoid a bunch of weird dye stains all over my ears and forehead.
Okay, how about this -- just go grey! Oh ya. Grey is the new blonde (or something like that). I'm saving all sorts of dollars by letting my innner old lady emerge. All the with-it celebs are doing it apparently
My parents' bathroom counter top is stained blue and maroon in a few places thanks to me at age 17 and 18.
Yo, Pecan Head! Git up offa dat yard. That suit makes you look good.
xo,

I wish you were my neigbor -- How I'd love to look out and see someone in a bathing suit in November dying her hair in front of a full length mirror in the yard.
That so has Candid Camera skit written all over it.
