Feast or Famine aka Blond No Longer
Yes it’s 9/11. Yes I live in NYC. Yes I was here and have some very vivid memories and visceral reactions to it, but I’m not doing a post about it. I am taking a trip down De Nial—old joke, so don’t worry about it if you don’t get it!
So what do I want to talk about? My hair! I am no longer blond. I had what they call low lights put in (as opposed to high lights—now isn’t that clever?!). Anyhoo, my hair is probably the darkest it’s ever been, which really isn’t saying much. And just in case my mother is having a heart attack, I know for a fact that within the next 2 weeks it will oxidize into something strongly resembling a shade of blond…sigh!
Now I like it (mostly because it’s new and different and I’m easily bored) but no one, I repeat no one else in my life has said anything about it! NOT a good sign people! So if you see someone walking around and people are politely averting their gaze, good chance it’s me!
OK that’s all for now, but I would like to point out that this is my 2nd post in the last 12 hours and I’m not guaranteeing that I’m done for the day! Like I said, you never know what you’re gonna get around here; I’m a moody child!

Yay - another blog update! You're on a roll now! ;)
Your hair sounds great. If you really want to get noticed, you could always do it in hot pink. Yes, I've done that. More than once. ;D
Saw the neatest hairdo yesterday at church... a combination head shaved/mohawk thing. Court said she'd leave me if I did it to my hair...
I reckon I'll do something much tamer, like get it colored. I wasn't going to color it again, but the skunk-butt look isn't working for me.
Tropopause stole my idea. With a mohawk you're guaranteed to receive comments.

Crap. Your mother reads your blog? Can I just say NOW that I'm sorry for any f-bombs or sexual references I've made in the past?
Low lights, eh? I don't understand NOT wanting to be blond, but ooookay. Pink would be totally fucking cool though.
Ack! I did it again! Shit!
Oh C you have no idea! At the rate I'm going you may get 3 in one day--but then you won't hear from me again for a week. And thanks for the getting noticed tip! YOU had pink hair?!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I think I'll need some proof of that please! :)
Trop--skunk butt?!!!!!! Now there's a visual! You crack me up!
Shooter--I know you're trying to be helpful. May I just respond, "help me less!" Hugs! ;)
Syd sweetie, I'm sure Shirlie forgives you when she remembers to stop in. She's a very busy octagenarian who I'm sure has more interesting things to do most days, but I always like to let her know I'm thinking about her just in case she drops in. And as for the other stuff, you being you is what we all love aboutcha--'nough said! Re: the blond thing, two words: Paris Hilton. shudder shudder!
I think we need to see pictures of this new 'do Zanne. It'd only be fair :)
Ditto Unbalanced!
Z - Sorry, I don't think any pics of me in pink exist. The family weren't wild about it, so they avoided pics as much as possible, and I don't like pics of me anyway, so I try to avoid them as much as possible. The pink didn't freak them out nearly as much as the neon stripes though. ;)
Low lights are fun, so long as they don't turn maroon like mine did last year! :)
I add my voice in the call for Zanne hair pics!
Funny, I never thought of you as blond. My hair got accidently turned Lucille-Ball-red once. That was interesting!
UnB, I'll see what I can do!
Courtney, there were neon stripes too?!!!!!!!!!!!!! And there were no pics?!! That's just wrong on so many levels!
Sassy, MAROON?!!!!! Why oh why did I not consult all of you before taking the plunge?!!!!!
Merryn, bless you!! tee hee!! Hmmm you as a fiery red head--yes indeedy that IS an interesting picture! ;)
Used to be, when I got stressed out, I would go get my ears pierced. When I ran out of room ;) I changed to coloring my hair when stressed. I spent part of my later teen years and most of my college years REALLY stressed.
Yes, maroon. It took her six very long hours to fix my hair two days later.
Court, I know I shouldn't be surprised that you were such a wild woman. ;) Now when you get stressed there's T! Am I right?
Sassy, that is my worst nightmare--or at least on the list! PS your hair is a lovely shade now!
Exactly right Z! :)
