It's been over a month since I went blue and I thought it was about time to touch up my colour to bring me out of seafoam territory and back to the deeper lush colour it used to be.
I also thought I'd save myself some money and do this touch up at home rather than go back to the salon.
I have never in my life encountered such a thick formula for hair dye and well, here is my haiku review.
I love the colour.
Pain in the ass to apply.
I'll leave it to pros.
If you know me at all you know how much I love dressing up, so it's no surprise that as I waited out the 2 1/2 hour process of getting my hair bleached and blued, my mind wandered to the glorious options now open to me for COSPLAYING.
I have a love/hate relationship with wigs. I LOVE them most of the time, but wearing them at conventions, especially in the summer, makes my head itchy and hot and makes me generally irritated.
I thought of how much my Ramona Flowers costume a few years back would have looked with my new hair.
Then I thought SAILOR MERCURY! I have recently started re-watching the Sailor Moon anime from the beginning and a few months ago I picked up my first Sailor Moon manga so the Sailor Scouts were fresh in my mind.
I like this little Disneybound-style outfit so much I may actually try to put it together for myself as a casual convention option for the future!
Ah, life.
It seems that it likes to pile on everything at once, doesn't it? It's a pile of good things, but a pile nonetheless!
In the last couple of months I've bought a condo, participated in my biggest fundraiser of the year, performed my biggest role yet in a musical and was the maid of honour for my BFF's wedding- all the while trying to keep up with my other life commitments and maintain some semblance of a social life without going insane! Whether that worked or not is up for debate...
Lots of big life changes happening meant the blog got put on the back burner for a while.
And speaking of changes.....
How could I resist being the SOMETHING BLUE for the wedding of my Hetero Life Partner?
Secretly -- I think it's here to stay.
