LOLOLOL. Good on you!
I don’t mind what my sweet, young gal does at all. The much younger girl she had planned to take to her show ditched her at the last minute, so of course I went with her! She didn’t do anything radical to me, and the semi-permanent feathers are fine with me. My husband didn’t even notice them until we were outside and then he said “oh your hair sparkles like sort of a rainbow!”
OOh .. I thought you meant your HAIR was also pink and purple in places .. LOL. Few feathers aren’t bad. Do you feel you have to be color coordinated and match your clothes, too? That’s the only thing I’d be wondering.
Heard about another book .. ?

Letting the Media Do Our Thinking: An Excerpt from ‘Bring Her Down’
My book, ‘Bring Her Down’: How the American Media Tried to Destroy Sarah Palin, has just been released. The following is adapted from Chapter 7 of the book.
###
In the event of a possible Palin presidential run, it remains to be seen whether the media can pull off the same act with the same success twice. At first glance it would seem obvious that they can, because of the head start they’ve already given themselves.
To a large extent, they’ve already made her into a political punchline. Millions of voters would be coming to this hypothetical race with a set of preconceptions about Palin that would be very hard to shake.
There are those—including many conservatives—who insist that Palin can never run for national office again because she was so effectively “Dan Quayled” by the media. It’s an image, they argue, that can’t be overcome.
There’s something unsettling, though, about the idea that any politician—or any person—should resign himself or herself to being defined for all time by what the media says, particularly by the kind of grotesque caricature they created of Sarah Palin.
In a way it’s even worse than the “It’s her own fault” meme that was used against her so many times: when her e-mail account was hacked, when her children were mocked, and so on.
That meme at least assumed that she had a little bit of control over her own fate; the “She got Quayled and that’s it” meme suggests that the best thing that a political candidate damaged by the media can do is bow her head meekly and submit to her ordained fate.
On the other hand, in the process of creating those preconceptions, the media may have unwittingly thrown a few advantages Palin’s way

‘_____sparkles like sort of a rainbow.’
Very cool!
About a year ago I had these colorful ‘threads’ - just 3 - sort of woven into my ‘do,’ and it lasted thru many washings! They were subtle, but eye-catching at the right angle. I’ve got to ask ‘Arlene’ to do that again!
It’s neat to ‘decorate’ hair a bit.
Rather do that then get a tatoo - - - NEVER!
Am going to opening night Tues. of ‘Les Mis’ in L.A. - and plan on wearing my black feathers!
I can hear it now - one of you FR’ers will be there, also!!!
