Ok, the long and the short of it: my hair is darker than it was 5 days ago. It's telling of my natural color, now that the summer bleach has been attended to. A few people who are used to seeing me out and about have commented on my eyes. Not the hair, but the eyes. Weirdos. I didn't pay for the eyes, I paid for the hair. NOTICE THE HAIR IF YOU'RE GOING TO NOTICE.
Let's see...there's the lady at the coffeeshop, the man at the coffeeshop, the other man at the coffeeshop, and my friend who works at the gym. It was with the last of these that I managed to shove my foot into my mouth and hold it there for a good 10 seconds complete. I replied to her comment, "Darker hair accentuates my coloring differently. Funny how a person's natural hair color compliments their face." I was going for "wry", you see...
But in arduous effort to be humorously self-derisive, I forgot my audience...I tucked tail and blushed. I couldn't make eye contact with my magenta-headed friend until she admitted, "Yes, I agree. That's totally why I stopped dyeing mine."
