I have been a redhead for more years now than I haven't. There have been occasional comments on the colour now and again, but something about this newest shade is driving folks wild.
Recently, I was in Toronto for a public speaking engagement. As I was walking to the venue, a very attractive, incredibly well dressed man in the Gay Village, stopped me on the street.
"I LOVE YOUR HAIR!!! OH MY GOD IT'S STU...U...U....NNING!!!"
At the grocery store, two men, in separate aisles, stopped me. I was standing next to the sauces and one guy said to me, "This sauce is SO hot, it'll turn that gorgeous red hair... BROWN." Sometimes guys aren't quite on their game.
This morning, in the kitchen, I marvelled that this shade was getting so much attention.
Rissa: You know what you should do next time?
Me: What?
Rissa: Dye it FIRE ENGINE RED (she uses jazz hands to signify the colour's vibrance.)
Me: Huh?
Rissa: Yep. Like literally the colour of a fire engine. AND, ANNNNNND... you add a little siren in your hair too... so you'd be going "Woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo..." with the light all rotating...
David: (piping in) And maybe have a little ladder at the back too. THEN you'll get noticed.
Me: Uh-huh...
Rissa: OR!!! WAIT!! WAIT!!! ORRRRRRRR.... you turn it into an Arctic scene - you put little penguins up there, maybe some polar bears...
Me: What does that have to do with red hair?
Rissa: Nothing, but it'd be cool, you have to admit...
David: Depends if you're clubbing seals...
Me: DAVID!!! (He shrugs)
Me: So basically, you're saying that I should treat my hair as an ever-changing diorama?
Rissa & David: YES!!!
David: Then when you go to a royal wedding you can kick everyone's asses with YOUR fascinator!
(The best part of ALL of this might just be that David knows what a fascinator is.)
