Hey, you know one our neighbours in Pakistan tried this back in 1992. Didnt suit her especially cz her hair were very long (just above the hips).
Last year I went to this dresser. Told her I wanted blonde streaks over metalic brown shade. And what I saw after the job made me scream. But anyway, I got rid of that stuff this year. But didnt get exactly what I wanted. I told this new girl to color them all red and put 75 thin streaks in ORANGE. I was feeling different and wanted some totally different. She said, “Okay okay okay” to everything I said. While I was dozzing off waiting to see my unique streaks, my mom came to pick me. She said what color is it. I said ORANGE. I pointed out to something lying on the counter which was Orange… THEN she mentioned, “Oh no, Orange tau ata hi nahi yahan.” I was like, “WTF??” She said, "Well, yeh color tau hota hi nahi yahan. Apki is color ki nahi hongi streaks bulke reddish hon gi. Magar woh ap par suit karein ge. I was a bit annoyed but thought would see the results hoping to like it, I didnt say anything. When she washed my hair… I was totally broken hearted. It was red streaks over red hair. I cant describe the feelings I had at that moment. Felt like smashing that big mirror right on her face. But with a red face. I told my mom, “This is not what I told her.” Then told her politely, “Mein ne apko Orange streaks kaha tha.” She had her own justifications like, “Oh mein ne woh kiya jo apko suit karay.” Fine. I didnt argue. She thought she knew better of what would suit me. Then cz my mom goes to her always and like her work so I didnt say much. Just said, “Thank you”, paid and came out.
She could have mentioned before starting that the color I saw on the book and told her I wanted was NOT AVAILABLE IN PAKISTAN!!!
For last one week, Im unable to sign in to MSN. It keeps asking me if I need to upgrade it to a newer version. I click, "No" Cz I dont want it and it doesnt let me sign in.
But add me. I think I'd download the new bullsh!t anyway. Itnay din se apnay MSN friends ki shakal nahi dekhi.
maddy - you're right... but do not accept new invitations unless I know the person.
Nilu-- Im very ordinary looking. But if you mean whether Im fair enough to pull it off ,thats possible. Although Ive seen blondes with dark skin, esp tanned and it looked great on them too.
Dont u have one of those programs where you can upload ur pic and click on someone's hairstyle and it shows u ur face with blonde hair? I know Instyle (a magazine here) had that, and i printed out a photo ofmyself with jennifer aniston's haircut ( :D ) but i dont' think they have that service anymore....
Sara that would be interesting! How do I find something like that though? I could do that, send my pic to my cousin and make her show it to Grandma. That would be fun! :D
insan -- yeah I guess so. Otherwise my grandma will give me the silent treatment.
