Oh, well....

I usta dye my hair all the time- not because I had gray hair, but because I wanted to dye it different colors and shades (platinum blond, wine red, black, etc....). I don't wanna dye my hair anymore because I hate that "gray-growing-in-through-dyed-hair-you're-a-hag" look.

Wow, platinum blond. What color was your hair when you were younger?

Jason, I think we need to get you a "Grey Hair On Board" sign for your car to caution other motorists.

I am not old enough to be shooting for "distinguished". I am still at an age where I would far prefer, oh, hunky. F-able. Hottie. Something that implies a little more action...

Would you settle for "well preserved"?

I had visions of Betty Buckheads in there Vovo station wagons screaming "ROAD HOG" and then continuing their oh so important Junior League cell conversations

Why do I imagine you had tweezers in your glove compartment already?

It might cost a little more, but you're worth it.

So the lesson is, Don't purchase hair products at Home Depot. Hope you didn't learn that the hard way.

I wanted to ask him which Muppet he tracked down and skinned to make his new hat.

Don't be silly. I don't think any Muppets of that color exist in nature.

And then there's the knowledge that one day all of my hair will probably fall out from all the chemicals or I'll develop some exotic cancer of some sort. But hey--what price beauty?

Don't they tell pregant women not to get it done? That's scary.

Stevie never lost her hair, right? It just turned to straw.

Yeah, but I think Stevie also was getting hers permed too on top of the hair color. That really takes a toll on your hair.

No, that just took a toll on my eyes.

A lot of pregnant women avoid getting their hair foiled, yes. However, there are still some that do it anyway.

The big avoidance for pregnant women where I work are spa pedicures and reflexology. Evidently, on a pregnant woman, the back of your ankle (if touched in the wrong way) can literally induce labor. THAT is scary....and random too.

You could hold your breath for that to happen soon.
