For months, I've been idly considering dying my hair blue. Or a bit of it. But just the right shade. And I didn't really think I'd have the gumption.
But the other day, while we were out food shopping for Moky's party, I detoured into the CVS next to the Trader Joe's and bought a box of Blue Envy. Later in the afternoon, my sister-in-law, who is no stranger to hair dye, did the dirty work.
Being your straight-laced suburban mother with a full-time office job, who never wears make-up and doesn't hide the grey, I've been getting a lot of double-takes.
I think my mother would have been equal parts horrified and titillated. And really, I did it for her.
But I'm enormously pleased with it.
[It's just a little hank that got dyed, and when I tuck my hair behind my ear, you can hardly tell see the blue.]

It looks fabulous!
what we do for our mothers
blue-tee-ful!
Neat.
I have an appointment Thurs. My husband is hoping I'll come home with pink hair.
Fantabulous!
I've done pink before. I may do it again. My hair is black, so I have to bleach it first, but it's awesome.
You look great.
It's a beautiful shade of blue!
I have always wanted blue streaks in my hair but it is so dark it would not show up. I have always had this idea in my mind that once I go all the way gray I will put rainbow streaks into my hair.
I LOVE it!!!!!
That's a great shade of blue.
When are you going to do the whole head??
Whole head! Whole head!
Wow! I think it looks amazing! Love it.
That's wonderful! I may have to try it myself, because you look so cool.
love it!
i had a dream once that my husband died, and shortly after (in the dream) I went out and cut and died my hair. hmm.....
Melissa did a much better job than I did. I'll stick to cutting crudites and sausages, thank you....
I FREAKIN LOVE IT!!!!
Its so cool!!!!
I love it. Everyone needs a little color in their life (says the woman who is wearing all black today).
Oh, that's a great blue. Yay!
It's delish.
Gotta say, I love it. It is indeed just the right shade of blue.
I LOVE IT! It's fun and subversive and sweet.
It's fun seeing my favorite color in someone's hair!
I love it! Doesn't it make you feel exotic and fun?
Love it! Hmmm, now you've got me thinking. As if getting pregnant with donor embryos as a single woman isn't going to freak out my mother enough!
You know, you really should have been a children's librarian :D
oh, me too, I love it!
Girl! You look like one of my students now. And I likes it!
I love it! I've always been fascinated with blue hair as such, not the accidental bluing of grey. This is fun and soothing. Lovely.
You are teh cool.
LOVE it :) enjoy!!
