The 20 Something Society

I love a good braid.  The main reasons I was thinking about growing my hair out are actually the facts that I like to wear my hair up, and I love braids.

Its been here for years! Some of my colleagues and I had a discussion today. Is the mullet coming back? Some in the conversation may have thought ‘Hey, I’ve seen some kind of okay mullets out there recently.”   I am here to say.  Just say no.

Just say no.

Today I said to myself “Self, I want to have a Buddy Holly party.”  I won’t actually have one.  I just always get the urge to throw theme parties.

And what to wear?

I’ve really been thinking about growing my hair back out.  I can do things like – wear it up, braid it, let it blow in the summer breeze….ahhhh.  Short hair is really more “me” though.  I guess we’ll see.  I guess I’ll leave it at this.  Its time for me to get a hair cut now, but I’m not going to.

Not me, the husband.  I shaved his head tonight.  Again.  I’m pretty much over this hairdo.  I think we’ll go for this one next time.

Watching Coraline is making me want to dye my hair blue. When I was in middle school I wanted this black/pink/purple hair.  Exactly like this chicks. Then I wanted fire engine red hair. Next was pink hair.   I was always too scared to bleach my hair out.  I was worried I would ruin it.  I did dye pink over my brown hair – it turned out something like this.

A year and a half ago I told myself I wouldn’t dye my hair anymore.  Ya know, try to keep it natural and healthy.  But I do have a hair obsession weakness.  Its….RED HAIR!  Not fire engine red, just red.  I have had red hair several times and more than occasionally the idea pops into my head.  ~you want red hair now.~

P.S.  Everyone knows that the cutest children have either red hair or afros.

I don’t think I’ll dye over my greys when I start getting them.  In fact, after our wedding I decided to try to never dye my hair again.  So we’ll see.  I just hope I get a good grey, ya know what I mean?  My mom dyes hers so I don’t really know.  My Granny has mostly dark grey with some white, while my great grandmother was all white.  I guess we’ll just have to wait and see.

I would wear my hair like this every single flippin day.

What I Wore

Brooke Shields may just have been the most beautiful child ever born.  I remember growing up and watching The Blue Lagoon and being so jealous of her hair.  Still to this day I can’t watch that movie without wanting to grow my hair out.

She even looks jaw droppingly beautiful in a freakin toothpaste ad.

And that my friends is what I like to call scary pretty.

Claire Geist of Weardrobe posted this outfit.  And I love it.  The top half should be in a Wes Anderson movie.  I have been trying not to pollute my hair with dye, but that gorgeous red is tempting me, I have always loved red hair.  The very first time I dyed my hair I was in the fifth grade and the color choice was RED.
