I Need a Word For...

How about fun?

Besides it sounds like at heart you're a red-head, you're just perfecting it now. I actually have blonde hair and hair dressers wonder how I got it. They're so disappointed when I tell them I was born with it!

 A year ago I did my own version of a make-over minus Stacy London and the What Not To Wear crew at a local spa. After a full night at work where we looked on-line at various options and discussed various hairdressing diasasters (I work in the local ER, slow night!) I presented myself to the hairdresser who convinced me to try an apricot gold that I thought looked fabulous and then my make-up was done and then I bought a new outfit. So what did my husband say? 'Did you get your haircut or something?'

 Everyone at work laughed when I said that but then no one could tell when the hair-colouring started growing out so he may have been on to something. Since then I've permed it so that he wondered it I'd stuck my hand in a wall-socket but who knows, I've heard purple is good for high-lights! And no matter what you do with hair it all grows out in the end so why not have fun?

I was born with black hair, very curly (something like the Irish), but I was told more like some Spanish blood flowing in me.  Anyway, I like the purple highlight, I was 'Adventurous', had an haircut so short (in my early 20s) that if I didn't comb it right, you could see my scalp, only leaving a long bang (almost to the jaw line), that section was colored purple, still pretty curly.  Those were the days! 

Nowadays, in my late 40s, pepper & salt, I have my hair straightened now (never had straight, curtain style until now, love it), so the silver (I refuse to call it grey) strands is my highlight. 

Who knows, maybe I'll be adventurous again.  Hair grows out, just have fun with it.

...coin a new word.  You're colorageous.  Definition: courageous in coloring!    (And for our British friends, that would be colourageous.   )

You are so good, even think of our British friends!!!

I love that new word.  Who knows, one day they might add it into the Dictionary.  

Loved this blog!  It particularly struck a funny note for me because I was just talking with someone recently about how I'm always changing my hairstyle, and sometimes my color.  Just a couple months ago I had very, very blonde streaks on each side of my face.  This wasn't as ugly as it sounds - LOL!  In my newest avatar my hair has golden highlights.  It's sassy and fun to keep people guessing.  Anyway, like I told my friend, my hair might be pink tomorrow!  Just kidding. 

I'm glad you're just you, Beth.  I've not blogged with another author who is as colorful (forgive the pun) as you are.  Also, from what I've been seeing here, and on your website, you've been working your butt off!  Congrats on dropping the extra three pounds!  Thirteen altogether - wow!

BTW, I wanted to tell you that I hopped over and listened to your interview on Me******n Pr*ss's blogtalkradio.  Loved that bit about the brassiere mispelling! 

I work in a special ed preschool--we had to create an "M&I" policy. What is that you ask?

Metal and Ink. My boss does not want any tattoes that are obnoxious showing. I think she would prefer no tattoes at all, but it is unreasonable in the culture of one of the cities we serve. She also does not want piercing of certain body parts--she will even request that any piercings she deems unacceptable be removed.

One of my co-workers recently had Tinkerbelle and a lavender rose tattoed on her ankle--makes me want one it is so beautiful.

I am a chicken also as I don't even have pierced ears. I have only had a perm now and then but think I would like to shock my neices and nephews by turning up with a mohawk someday.

'Shocked' is to put it mildly, let's think of another word for 'mohawk' hair style. 

'Daring'? 'Dare-devil'?

What other words you all come up with for 'Unusual Hair Style'?
