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).

I admit, I'm no Neat Pete with my dye, but... the wall?; 6:27 PM
Amie Adams said...: 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.; 6:38 PM
SUEB0B said...: Des - I have many unique talents. You would be surprised!; 6:56 PM
QT said...: 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.; 7:14 PM
Alex Elliot said...: 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!; 7:28 PM
SUEB0B said...: 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.; 7:53 PM
XUP said...: 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.; 5:39 AM
SUEB0B said...: UP - It's that difference between $7 and $90 that gets me to do these nutty things.; 5:54 AM
Jhianna said...: 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.; 11:05 AM
XUP said...: 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; 11:43 AM
Suzanne said...: My parents' bathroom counter top is stained blue and maroon in a few places thanks to me at age 17 and 18.; 6:10 AM
OhTheJoys said...: Yo, Pecan Head! Git up offa dat yard. That suit makes you look good.

the mystic said...: 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.; 12:42 AM
