			  house and caught me in the middle of geeking out. I was a little 
			  dopey from staring at the monitor  I go into alpha waves or 
			  something and come out bitchy. But she had all the materials in 
			  hand so we began the process. Yes, the covering of that bleach blonde 
			  is way overdue.
 The 
			  idea was to be Fabulous Flame all over, except for Pillerbox Red 
			  tips (or was it the other way around?). So we spent some time trying 
			  to guess at what the colors would look like, based on the appearance 
			  of the dye. We 
			  decided to just do one color fully and then do the tips after the 
			  first color was rinsed and dried. During that process, someone knocked 
			  and entered the ranch house. He was inquiring about the showers. 
			  "Nope. Back down the road; the orange trailer." I said. 
			  Once he left, Foxy added "Obviously a Neophyte; he thinks the 
			  showers are indoors!" Then 
			  we went outside to see how the color was doing in the sun light. 
			  That's when a truck drove down the lane. He was getting an eyeful 
			  of Burning Man: topless with fresh red hair dye. Time to rinse and 
			  see... Eek! too pink! Do-overs! So 
			  I worked on my journal some more before she came back for the second 
			  color. We apply the pillerbox red. We chatted about event plans 
			  and we gossiped about boys and soon, the second color was done. 
			  "Well maybe there's a reason you're not getting laid. It's 
			  the playa and everything happens for a reason."    |
