My daughter did that striping to her hair once-she has dark blonde hair, and she got chocolate brown "highlights". It looked horrible-so bad that when hubby saw it, he said "What in hell have you done to your beautiful hair?" Her husband didn't like it either, so she never did it again. I don't highlight-it would probably make me look like a fox having a bad fur day. Over the years, I have experimented with all colors and frosting, etc. I only frosted once-frosted red hair looks strange, to say the least. Now, I just apply the L'Oreal medium intense auburn to hide the gray myself. The color is the closest to my own that I have found, and it gives really good gray coverage.

i need to brag on my little boy dog to someone. last night was the last class of puppy K(we were chronic truants missing 2 of the 6 classes bc of conflicts). xs2pup astounded everyone by totally coming out of his shell and engaging a few of the bigger dogs. he was doing that playful stance of paws forward, butt up in the air and woofing at the big goofy weimeraner! the entire class sat there with mouths agape in amazement at my little pup!

[xsmommy]

only bc you live on the OTHER side of the world from civilization ; )

[Texan5]

LMAO! That presents a funny picture, but a wig striped like that would make a great addition to almost any Halloween costume.

[Laura Earl]

I've seen some weird highlight jobs around here too. Don't understand a person's motivation with intentionally making one's hair look unattractive!

[Texan5]

That's great! I guess he figured there is no fun in being shy.

[xsmommy]

yep, a wig like that and some blacked out teeth and you are good to go!

[Laura Earl]

With my bruised up jawline, I wish this were Halloween week, so I could dress up as Don Johnson a la Miami Vice.

[Texan5]

I would stick some rubber spiders in the wig, too, for added effect.

Ten democrats, whom I abhor
Are all fighting to be the next Gore
But this time, a runaway
Will take all their fun away
Won't need judges to add up the score

galling though that he waits til his last class to finally decide he enjoyed it. she is having the next level class start towards the end of oct. i need to think about whether or not to do it. i know we need to spend some time doing the drills with him, we didn't do much in the way of homework and that is the only thing that will work to get him doing stuff routinely. also, the trainer while good, definitely favors rhodesian ridgebacks, bc that is what she shows and trains. and with the 3 in the class, there was a HUGE amount of favoritism shown towards the RRs. it is really irksome to have (and PAY) a trainer that you get the feeling thinks you have some lameass froufrou dog. Even if he is one, he is MINE and i love him and he deserves to be trained and in fact needs it much LESS than those hard to handle big GALOOTS of hers!

[Texan5]

I'm betting that striping isn't cheap, either. Oooooh, ugly AND expensive, how good does it get?

[Conspiracy Guy]

I'll work on it but it is busy today and going to the beach at noon not coming back til tuesday.

It's true, it's pretty uncivilised here on the Left Coast, up in the Pacific Northwet. Where it rains all the time.
