Your Hostess

Hello darlings! I've been a little absent lately because I've been having adventures in hair dye land. I'm a bit of a dye freak I must admit. I used to change my haircolor practically monthly. For the last year I've had a lovely blue black but I was feeling the need for a change. I watched "Married Life" and fell in love with Rachel McAdams' platinum blonde.



So gorgeous. I was inspired. The man said to me "You should do your hair like that." And that was all it took. The tiniest amount of encouragement and I was off to buy the bleach. And so... countless hours and boxes of bleach and toner later I'm blonde. I'm not as blonde as I want to be but it will do for now. The next few weeks will be a love affair with conditioner!

I don't often talk about myself on this blog so I thought I'd give it a shot. I thought maybe you'd like to see a snippet of my adventures in haircolor.


Those are just some of my favorites. The blonde pic was from about 5 years ago. I'll take some pictures of my new blonde this weekend.

You are just like me, my hair has been every color under the sun. I just dyed it red again and yet again it has faded in less than a week despite the proper hair care stuff. Oh well, thinking of going towards black now.

You mentioned doing pin up work on my blog, could I see some of your work? I adore 40s and 50s style pin ups.

Was Married Life any good? The reviews on Netflix were mixed so I haven't added it to my que yet because I had a string of bad picks.

I think you look especially lovely with dark hair, very Dita or even Betty Paige!
