blonde envy

[misslicorice]

Someone needs to bitch slap me pronto because I keep seeing random blondes and envying them their hair color. If I were blonde, it would be disastrous, right? I mean, I'd look more like a meaty, coarse, field plowing peasant than a fey ethereal Swedish princess.
Harrumph.

Depends if you got the rosacea. You might come off as a lusty barmaid, which is pretty tight.

I had blonde hair for like an hour once and I just looked like bimbo the skank clown crossbred with a sun-bleached wildebeest. If you used that purple toner to get the yellow out it would probably looks awesome.

HAHAHA I love you! A lusty barmaid. That rules. I do have pink cheeks but not rosacea-pink.
I laughed so fucking hard about skank clowns and sun-bleached wildebeests that people started looking at me with something akin to terror in their eyes (I'm at school, sucking up on the free wifi). What color is your hair now? I remember it being blue for a while.

Heh, I'm glad I could provide some amusement. I was horrifically bored at work when I wrote that.

And yeah, my hair was blue for hella days (leave me alone, I live in the ghetto. I HAVE to talk like this), but then I moved out of my parents' house and had to get a series of wage-slave jobs.

So it's black.

I like like this most of the time, minus walking around with a bass everywhere I go. That would make me a mannish and dull assclown, whereas I'm usually only mannish and dull.

Look like this, that is. And sorry for photo hugeness.

I know the feeling. Too well. But I'm not even going to try.

[misslicorice]

Yeah, I probably won't either. =p

Natural blondes are one thing, they can't help their hair colour and usually they're fair enough for it to work on them.

But I think artificially colouring your hair blond both buys into the blond hype, which is bullshit, and makes it look like you're making an attempt to be a brainless gutterslut.

If you're looking for a change, maybe try streaks again or something. Or wigs, there's always wigs. Those can be fun without seeming pretentious. I know that sounds ironic, but I hope you know what I mean?

It's not that it would look awful, I don't think it would at all...but the fact that everybody's doing it. I mean, who isn't blonde these days? So a No vote from me.

[misslicorice]

Yeah... I know what you mean. Plus it would kill my hair, trying to get the black dye out.

Ugh, I didn't even think about that. That sucks more than anything. I have vivid memories of having to chop off my ass-length hair because it got gummy from bleaching it in preparation of dying it purple.

I left it on too long. It turned gray and got mushy and stretchy. *shudder*
