-Judy Garland.
I change my hair color, it seems every month. I get bored, I do it for myself, never to please anyone or to fit in.
The only time I dyed my hair for someone else is when my drama teacher told me I had to dye my hair a solid color for the play.
I never thought about why I dyed my hair. Was it to change myself? Trying to make a new character to live through?
My hair is currently blonde with dark roots. Did I dye it because "blondes have more fun?" Honestly, no. I've always wanted platinum blonde hair, this is by no means platinum blonde, no where close. Everyone was telling me not to, my husband was even skeptical. "It'll ruin your hair." "You'll look funny." "...I'm not sure about that..."
The quickest way to get me to do something is to tell me not to.
"Don't eat that cookie!" Immna eat that cookie.
I guess part of me did want to live as a blonde, to add another character to my resume, I wish I had a name for my "blonde" look. I should name all of my looks, note to self. I like being blonde, it's great, it's pretty, when my roots aren't showing and when/if I manage to get all of my hair. (I've dyed it more than 4 times and still have random brown streaks.) I look pretty, people tell me and I know I do.
My point is, no matter what color I dye my hair, (I plan on doing lavender or red (Ariel red) next then I'm on my way home back to brown) it doesn't define who I am and it never will. I'm a brunette a heart and these pesky roots pushing through are a reminder that, "Hey, just 'cause you covered the brown doesn't mean your someone else. It just means you're playing dress up."
And that's what I've been doing. I'm not a blonde, but it has sure been fun pretending to be one and when I do go back to my roots, pun intended, I will miss being blonde. This girl, however, has more fun being brunette. :)
No matter what you do to change your appearance, you can never change what's inside. I like gaming, and reading. I like playing in the mud and fixing things around the house. I wish I knew how to fix cars 'cause I totally be into that as well. I like not wearing make-up, but at the same time I LOVE WEARING MAKE-UP! I'm southern-not a redneck or hillbilly, a southern belle thank you very much. I love Disney and acting like a child still. No hair color or clothing will change who I am, only my appearance to others who can't handle my AWESOMENESS!
But seriously, don't try to change yourself for anyone, it wont work.
To answer the question I'm sure is on everyone's mind: Do blondes have more fun?
No. They have the exact same amount of fun as any other hair color. The fun scale depends on the person, I, personally, like to sit at home with my windows and doors open during a rain storm in fall, snuggle with a blanket and a good book. Not party all night with random strangers.
It's been hilarious to use "blonde moment" as an excuse to certain stupidities.
It's been a blast blondie, but soon, you will be a distant memory. When? I'm not sure, but soon.
Good night Quahog.
