We're scrolling through the comedy poll.
Bogdanovich (ashen, mortified): "I'm not seeing What's Up, Doc?"Me: "Check back Monday...Look here, though--Harold & Kumar Go to White Castle. That's a good one, right?"Bogdanovich: "Yes, that's a good one."
(He was really great last night, introducing The Last Picture Show. I'm sure he's told the same stories word-for-word 10,000 times by now, but his impressions of Ford, Ben Johnson, and George Cukor were fantastic. The story where Cary Grant recounts the time the Kennedys called him up just to hear his voice was the highlight of the night.)

i feel like a failed dye experiment can work if you own it, like "fuck yeah my hair is puke orange and socially unacceptable in institutions like banks and post offices, and i don't even care, similar to how a badass would respond", but instead, predictably, i would preemptively say stuff like "i was aiming for red but it came out puke orange, aw man i don't even know why you're talking to me, aw man"

I had orange hair for a while because I sprayed that Sun-In bleaching spray in my hair every day for a week and stood under the heat lamp in our bathroom
the top of my head was bright orange by week's end
it was not a good look

"i was aiming for red but it came out puke orange, aw man i don't even know why you're talking to me, aw man"
my life in a nutshell, hah. I balance being annoyingly smug online with being desperately self deprecating in real life.
Sun-in! Amazing. I got a similar weird root situation when I bleached my hair from black to orange - the roots were white. NAGL. I have had so many hair horrors over the years. I am never changing this red, if I can help it.

purple just never works out well on brown hair unless you bleach it white. or buy that horrible spray paint.everyone including me that tried purple ended up with gross puce-colored large-intestine-colored hair
― Peppermint Patty Hearst (VegemiteGrrl), Tuesday, 3 April 2012 19:03 (twelve years ago) link
I played around with my color a lot for a couple years in the 90s. My favorite was bleaching it white and then putting old lady silver dye on it (not blue, SILVER). I looked pretty great for about six days until it just reverted to looking bleachy again.
― Johnny Fever, Tuesday, 3 April 2012 19:05 (twelve years ago) link
hah yeah i have dark brown hair so that is probably why that happened
― y'tulip, y'pea-brained earwig (donna rouge), Tuesday, 3 April 2012 19:06 (twelve years ago) link
I did purple once after bleaching and it worked well, until the purple faded - except from the spots that were bleached twice from when I gave myself polka dots the week before. So I had bright yellow hair with purple spots. This was right before meeting my future inlaws who weren't all that into it.
― joygoat, Tuesday, 3 April 2012 20:53 (twelve years ago) link
