How ya like me now?


Went to the hair salon today for highlights & a cut, and suggested "we" go strawberry blonde. Well, "hairspeak," like Sanskrit, is a language slightly difficult to master, so...
So I have red hair.
No problem, I can roll with it; I like redheads. But the weird thing was -- the rest of the day, everyone was really nice to me! Wth? I'm usually the person who smiles at people and they scowl back, but today, people were smiling at me first. I have no idea what this means, but will enjoy it while it lasts.

It looks like a lovely colour Lisa, I think we need a front view too :)

Isn't that funny that people were smiling first? The 'general public' are a funny breed!!

I haven't managed to visit for a few days, but have enjoyed all your posts and think that the pic of Wyatt and yourself is great!

Wow, now I'll be calling you Red. I think most people like redheads because it is probably the least scene next to brunette and blonde. Enjoy it!

Lisa, the next Julia Roberts!!

The reason everyone was nice to you is due to the RED HEAD reputation. For example:

What's safer: a redhead or a piranha?
The piranha. They only attack in schools.

How do you get a redhead's mood to change?
Wait 10 seconds

What do you call a Redhead with an attitude?
Normal

How do you get a redhead to argue with you?
Say something

How do you know when your redhead has forgiven you?
She stops washing your clothes in the toilet bowl

What’s the difference between a terrorist and a redhead?
you can negotiate with a terrorist.

So everyone's afraid to mess with me in case I kick ass, eh? Alright! Too bad it doesn't work on my sons.

What anonymous says is in part true, maybe I, too, am "off at people at a moment's notice"...

But I really like red hair colour. I am not a real redhead, and have been through all sorts of hair colours including shocking pink (and blonde, too - tho only for 10 mins at hairdressers, my face looked like a blank sheet of paper - completely washed out), my natural is a very indifferent moussy gray. Some years back I have decided to stick to the red, as this makes my character more evident, and not "a woman looking like she is eaten and spit out by the life itself"!

Yep, and there are some days when you look something - when people start behaving differently because they see something in you - smiling back, or stuffing your bags with so much herbs you can hardly get home to - this happened to me lately!
