Back to basics

I got annoyed at constant rootage and dyed my hair this weekend back to its original colour. I'm surprised they sell that colour (Natural Ash Blonde aka not really brown, not really blond).

I'll let it sit for a while and then I'll start fiddling with it again. I wonder if I want red or blond streaks. Last time I got carried away and overdyed so the roots became annoyingly obvious.

In other news, I really did have a job walking the streets in heavy makeup and waving at passing cars. I got minimum wage for that.

I had my roots touched up last week by my hairdresser Al *rolls eyes*, who does indeed have a combover. I swear! It's a very good combover but still a combover. I think Al is too used to doing hair for 80-90 year old women. The color job he gave me looks like something I can do myself *sigh*

I'd go with the blond highlights.

And, did you just wear heavy makeup or did you have to also wear a costume?

We have these peeps around here walking up and down the streets advertising for local restaurants. My heart goes out to the poor suckers in the summertime because they are wearing these huge furry costumes. I would think that would be inhumane treatment.

Schnookie, you are right! I was an advertising clown for a flower shop. I spent two hours, three times a week walking around the block waving.

I have a fondness for people who drive dump trucks and motorcycles from that time (as well as people with small kids) who always waved cheerfully.

I have a huge lack of fondness for teenage boys.

And the combover? is just wrong.

I use to dye mine blonde all the time. Now I've let my natural grow out. Brownish/copper. I think I want blonde streaks. Just don't now if I want the maintenance or not.

I almost always waved back to those clowns with the flowers. They always made me smile. Did you ever do it in Montreal? Maybe we waved at eachother LOL.

No, I was only a clown in high school. In Montreal I spent 2 months being a housewife.

You know, I bet Zombie will think I'm super cool now.

Red highlights.

And this job? Were you one of those made up billboard type peoples?

Guess I should have read the comments before responding, huh?

*points and laughs at Momma*

Bob, I'm sure Z'baby will think you are so cool. Can you juggle? If you can, then you'll be cool and sexy.

LMAO at Bobdeclown.

Bob, I always toot & wave at street performers like that. Also? My kid (on my direction) once tossed a cold pop to a foam hot dog on a hot day. The hot dog was so grateful.

Swami <--- thinks she should be Bob's favorite of the day now.

*loves to think about Bob's first real job*

It makes the dirty diapers seem pretty enticing, I'll give you that.

lol at BobdeClown :)

We missed you today. *smooch*

Bob was a clown? I have tons of more respect for you now.

Did you wear big shoes?

 
At 5:34 PM, Blogger Aislinn Sirk said...

I can juggle two balls perfectly.

Swami is my new favorite.

Coco was always jealous of my extremely cool job.

Z'baby, you may have my auotgraph if she wishes. But I didn't have clown shoes, so you may not want it anymore.

*pokes Bob*

I think you should style your hair next time Clown Style!

Every 5 weeks I get my roots done. I wish i didn't have to but I have a god awful mousey hair color so I have to color it. Not to mention the 75% gray that I have. *sigh*

Carey,

That sound like my hair.

I'm still in denial about my natural hair colour. Whe I was young, my hair was very light blond, almost platinum. For years I thought my hair would still be that colour if only I got some more sun.

Eh! Who needs sun anyhow?

I think you should dye your hair Bozo-the-clown orangey-red.

*just came here to knit*

*grin*

I vote for the blonde highlights. That way when you "have a blonde moment" you can blame it on the highlights. That's what I do.

Bobdeclown! *giggle*

Hi Bozo!

Bob da clown - that's priceless!

My styling magician does both blond and chocolate highlights. Those and the natural icky brownish color and the gray actually is quite interesting!

Arkie, that isn't quite as funny as you may think.

Bob <---once had to send Mr Bob to buy her black hair dye because she was too embarrassed to leave the house.

*basks in favorite glory*

Bob, highlights work best in 3 colors. I recommend some light blonde, mostly red-blonde, and just a little dark red.

And like Lasann said, leave some of your natural going-grey color in there.
