In fact I can go without combing it for days, I can even go to the hairdresser and nobody will notice the difference. What more can one ask for? It's a long time off for me (ever the optimist) but do enjoy your Susan Sontag moment.

The answer is usually "Making me beautiful!" Last time he answered with "I know I am good, but I don't DO miracles!" Thus began an hour of fun and banter between us. Chrisb,

It was never this bad when I was working-and what do people notice first why face and hair, of course. I'm off to have mine cut in an hour so for one day only it will look presentable.

I do know a lady in thesde parts with very dark hair to which she has added a fuchsia splash at the front. It really suits her. My Elly is not behind the door in telling me if I get it wrong fashion-wise. When did she become my mother :?: Judy - I am off to the hairdressers later on so perhaps I will ask him. Brighid - I wonder... should I start a Facebook fan club page for the mowhawk hairstyle? Maynard - I am cold enough without taking the thatch off the roof! :lol:

Marymine's hair was reddish brown as a girl, now we're not sure what color it really is. A different shade of red each time we see her. Hummm, the mowhawk idea might be interesting. You go first.
