Blond and blonder..er....
Jul. 8th, 2003 12:26 amMy last apartment was an unexciting box in a huge and impersonal complex. The walls were thin and the neighbors loud. The one good thing about the place was that they had a great swimming pool. I spent two summers swimming, reading, napping, scorching my skin, and watching my hair bleach out from the sun and chlorine. Boy, do I miss that now that the weather is hot and humid. I do love my current place, where I've been since November. It has many wonders, and it's air conditioned, but there is no pool. I've hardly been outdoors at all yet this summer. I went so far as to buy a bottle of spray-in highlights for my hair, to get the same effect as the sun!
Never in my life have I given any though to the color of my hair. But all of a sudden, I want to be more blond. I'm already blond, but a very boring, "dishwater" blond. Linda Hamilton in "Terminator II" blond. I want to be Carolyn Bessette blond. I'm not sure where this is coming from. I am living proof that blondes do NOT have more fun. I think I'm growing more vain as I age. This upcoming birthday has me thinking an awful lot about this kind of stuff. I am more confident with my body and appearance that I ever have been in my life, yet I feel I must do something big, work harder if I'm ever going to have a man find me attractive. Becoming more blond will not guarantee to land me a second husband, but I'm lonely, and anything I can do to increase self confidence- without compromising who I really am deep down- can't be a totally bad thing. Do I sound like the most superficial person in the world? Yeah, that's what I thought... It's late and I'm rambling...
I'm not about to do anything drastic. I can't afford drastic, and besides, I've seen the results of drastic. It seems the most popular thing to do with hair these days is to put blond streaks in brown hair. A gal at work did this, thick streaks of blond radiating out across reddish brown hair- her head looks like a circus tent! No, I just want to be a bit more blond all over, and I'm not sure how best to go about it. Maybe I won't do anything more than talk about it, but like I said, it's been on my mind lately. Along with a ton of other stuff that it's too late in the evening for me to even try to make sense out of. Bedtime for blondie now....
