The Ridiculous Thing

[jesso]

Okay, so I've been listening to Muse a LOT lately, especially The Resistance. And you know, Muse is pretty ridiculous, in a good way. They are over the top and dramatic and just full of YEAH, and that's what makes them wonderful. Well, that and their incredible talent, that is.

And listening to this ridiculous music made me want to do something ridiculous.

So I did.





GUYS, I HAVE RED HAIR. AND BANGS.

Bangs are that on which the world hangs, you know. And now I have them. On my head.

Reasons it is ridiculous:
1) I have not had bangs since I was a kid. I thought I hated bangs. It's possible that I might still hate them.
2) Red. What. I would have never pictured myself dying my hair red. Darker brown? Maybe. But red? Huh.
3) I made both changes at once, kind of spur of the moment.
4) I have had the same basic hair style since... forever. Long and straight and tied back, or short and straight until it's long enough to be tied back.

I love it though. It's exactly what I wanted. I took pictures of Sun from Lost as my reference, because I love how her bangs looked in that episode and how they looked really great for a lazy person like myself.

As for the red, yeah, that was pretty impulsive. I decided to go for reddish brown and the gal hit it.

Oh! And the gal who did it? Was an Ogle student. $23 for the cut and color. Winnnnn. And she was
really nice, too, so I'll be seeing her for trims and such. Arlington peeps, go to Ogle and ask for Elizabeth, she was awesome. I just wish I'd known ahead of time that they can only take cash or checks for tips, and can't add it to the debit card transaction. I had no cash to give her :(

But anyways. Yes. I have bangs! And red hair! I'm still kind of in shock.

You look ADORABLE!!!!!!!!!! I love it. LOVE it.
I mean this as an extreme compliment...but you kind of look like the Lost Weasley Daughter. (P.S. Weasleys are hot)

It IS Weasley red! I hadn't thought of that. I kept thinking of it as Donna Noble red.

(And thanks for the compliments :D)

Oh it's totally Donna Noble red too. (I just got done watching Season 4 for the first time, I don't know why I didn't think of that!)

When I go get my hair done again I was thinking of going back to a fiery red. Right now mine is a dark red brown which I love, but the husband really digs it bright. I might throw him a bone since it's his birthday soon. LOL

it looks great! i wasn't sure if you had colored it when i saw the pics on twitter. nice job going for the gold on that.

funny how you qualify hair things as ridiculous. oh i remember when i was your age i felt the same. then i started doing stuff with my hair and got quasi girly, wearing makeup and such i've reverted since having kids since i don't have time to do things with my appearance on a daily basis. i wonder what other ridiculous things you may end up doing.

Wow, it looks fantastic! Red definitely works on you, as do the bangs :) They match your eyes really nicely.

I think you sort of look like an anime character! It's very cute!

And bangs aren't bad, because if you decide you don't want them for the moment, you can pin them back, to one side, to both sides, etc.... I always wear mine differently. I really dig the versatility of bangs. Yours frame your face very nicely!

Have fun rocking your new hair!
