Red Hair...Again

The hair is screamingly red again. There were people at Fencon who didn't recognize me because my headshot in the con listing was red, whilst I was blonde at the time. Oops! So, Virulent Auburn is the color of the day. It will fade to 'Reasonable' Auburn by the time WFC rolls around, I expect.

Thinking about highlights now. (Sorry, [livejournal.com profile] displacetexan black tips would be too difficult to apply).



[livejournal.com profile] kenscholes was asking about personal theme songs, and I realized I still haven't picked one for 2008.
Yes, I do realize it's almost November.
I have two in mind:
Be Here Now by Ray LaMontagne, and
Praan by Palbasha Siddique

Which should it be? You tell me. I'll save the other one for next year....

Anything interesting to see in Centralia, WA?
I feel like someone on the flist lives there...but I can't remember who.

*demands pics of the fire-hair immediately!*

I stuck a picture in...it's still in the immediately-post-coloring fakey-purple-red stage. It'll calm down.

Eek...I need to go brush my teeth....I appear to have coffee mouth!

Thags! (toothbrush in mouth)

Go virulent auburn!

I just did mine the other day. I'm still in the radioactive clown stage. It looks particularly bad since I'm back to a crewcut this week.

Own it, sister!

One of the things that always surprises me is how much hair I ahve when it's red. ;o)

Yeah, it always looks better afte a couple of washes.

It's gorgeous!!

I think Praan is a wonderful, wonderful song--it would make a great personal theme. (The other I don't think I know...)

[identity profile] j-cheney.livejournal.com 2008-10-21 06:51 pm (UTC)(link)
Praan has such joy to it ;o)

The other is calming. I may save it for next year.

Can I say meow? Redheads rock.

Glad you approve ;o)

Is beautifulness!

Thank you ;o)

Oh wow - love the hair colour, and boy, does it ever set off your eyes!

[identity profile] j-cheney.livejournal.com 2008-10-21 06:49 pm (UTC)(link)
Thanks, although the color comes from a box--can't take credit for it ;o)

[identity profile] jtglover.livejournal.com 2008-10-21 04:14 pm (UTC)(link)
Nice! I had hair that color once (back when I had hair).

I'm originally from Seattle and have been through centralia various times, though really only just passing through. [livejournal.com profile] kenscholes has lived closer down that way and might have an idea or two.

[identity profile] j-cheney.livejournal.com 2008-10-21 06:49 pm (UTC)(link)
Aha, I knew SOMEBODY lived near there.....(Husband has a bank to examine there)

My hair color varies. I've always wanted to do that burgundy red, but have never gotten the nerve. Black would just look awful, so I'm stuck with red, I guess ;o)

Thank ye!

Needs more red! (unbiased haircolor observer)

[identity profile] j-cheney.livejournal.com 2008-10-21 06:46 pm (UTC)(link)
And I would think you would go for hte black tips ;o)

(Hard to do on layeres hair, though)

[identity profile] gabriel-writes.livejournal.com 2008-10-21 06:34 pm (UTC)(link)
I think it is a nice red. Mine is mostly silvery gray now. It used to be black.

My mpther's family all go this lovely shade of white (save one aunt who's salt-n-pepper). Mine will go a yellowy gray, so I just refuse to let it!

[identity profile] countesslovlace.livejournal.com 2008-10-21 07:42 pm (UTC)(link)
The red is very becoming.

The gray in my hair was turning it mousy. So now I do blond highlights.

[identity profile] j-cheney.livejournal.com 2008-10-21 09:23 pm (UTC)(link)
Smart! I don'tremember thinking it was gray at all, so you hide it well ;o)

[identity profile] therinth.livejournal.com 2008-10-21 11:25 pm (UTC)(link)
Love it! :D

[identity profile] j-cheney.livejournal.com 2008-10-21 11:40 pm (UTC)(link)
THanks!

I love that color! Awesome! And it looks good on you.

[identity profile] j-cheney.livejournal.com 2008-10-22 12:46 am (UTC)(link)
Thanks. The purpleness will fade out after a few washes, and I"ll like it better.

[identity profile] nancyfulda.livejournal.com 2008-10-22 08:58 am (UTC)(link)
Ooh... pretty!

[identity profile] j-cheney.livejournal.com 2008-10-22 12:00 pm (UTC)(link)

Oooh, you look lovely!

And sorry for the tardy well-wishes:

Happy Birthday!
