Plei, I want to start using henna. Any suggestions? I've developed an allergy to the chemical dyes, and they're ruining my hair. My hair's naturally v. dark brown with undertones of red, and now about 40% grey. The last dye job was way too dark. I'm thinking of dying it red from now on, so that the gray will become red and the black will stay black. It'll either look cool and strange, or just weird and awful.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I am so ready to chop mine off. It's always in my way, a hassle to wash, takes forever to dry. I just need to figure out where to go to get it cut, and what words to say to the person with the scissors to get something reasonably flattering done. I hope I manage that before I get fed up and hack off a ponytail with pinking shears.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Holy Mother of God, I want this dress. Seeing that it costs more than a month's rent, I'm gonna say Not in this lifetime, but... ohhhhhh. I'll have to be satisfied with knowing that somewhere there is a parallel dimension me who already owns and loves it.
I have no real hair preferences for myself at this point, except: (a) my one true bang length and style is the Bettie Page; (b) contra Hec, I'm rather preferring the deeper darker browns I've been using lately (on the rare occasions when I color it at all); and (c) never below the shoulders, never again. At or an inch past the shoulders is as long as my hair can possibly get without exploding into a billion scraggy split ends; adding insult to injury, despite the scraggle the hair maintains enough weight to pull out all the curl, so it's truly the worst of all possible worlds: dull, stringy, shapeless and frizzy all at once.
And, bah. Now I'm craving Mexican food something fierce.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
That dress is fantabulous. I join you in your dress lust, JZ.

“Not dead yet!”
That dress is fab, but thankfully, I don't feel a single twinge of covetousness knowing that a) cap sleeves make me look like a football player in drag, and such a ruffly neck would completely overwhelm me. I'd look like I was being eaten alive by Audrey II.
One of my biggest woes- the lack of a long, swan-like neck.

Sister! Between that and my ginormous head the difference between "chin length" and "shoulder length" on me is, um, just about nothing.

Now tagless for your comfort.
People working with DH would comment if he was in a good mood and he would tell them it was because I got a great haircut. He tells them to never underestimate the power a great hairstyle has on the harmony of the household and life in general.

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda
I think JZ would rock that dress, but it would also be dreadful on me. I have such a short fat neck that I'd look like Mort in Bazooka Joe, with ruffles.
My hair is a mystery to me. I meant to ask Hec for suggestions when he was here. Shoulder length seems to somewhat reduce the effect of the double chin, but right now it's the same length and it's very flat. It all spends all its time trying to crawl into my face.
