iirc - the thickness of one's hair isn't the biggest challenge, but rather, the length. It's easier to miss a spot with long hair

did anyone else on here ever have a Manic Panic blue disaster?

sarahell, Tuesday, 14 February 2012 00:29 (twelve years ago) link

I had a Manic Panic Deep Tulip disaster, does that count?

probably, if it involved the dye demonstrating how you physically inhabit your living space: there was a blue spot where I'd lean my head against the wall in bed while reading, a blue spot on the earpiece of the phone, a blue spot on the closet door where i'd lean to put on tights ...

sarahell, Tuesday, 14 February 2012 00:33 (twelve years ago) link

i think i was in some class where we were reading a bunch of gothic/romantic fiction and the blue spots felt like the proverbial stain or scarlet letter, though they were blue.

sarahell, Tuesday, 14 February 2012 00:36 (twelve years ago) link

Permanent dye is actually kind of good for thin hair because the ammonia and etc swell the hair shaft (at least for a while) so your hair looks thicker and glossier for a week or so.

surely if it's a temporary dye you can just mix it with conditioner and then apply as if it were conditioner? more volume of stuff to put in your hair = more chance of getting coverage all over.

admittedly in my years of dying i was never very methodical - i was v proud of one look, where as the pink faded out to reveal shonky blonde there became visible slightly greenish patches, the whole thing something akin to an unripe white peach, i thought.

I had a couple manic panic disasters but the most memorable was when I thought it would be a good idea if my best friend died mine for me while we were both stoned and I sat in the bath tub. The entire bathtub was stained fuchsia and my hair was horribly two-toned for about a week until I could find some more.

wolf kabob (ENBB), Tuesday, 14 February 2012 01:00 (twelve years ago) link

Oh and my parents were not pleased about either the state of the bathtub or my hair iirc.

I am trying to decide what to do with mine. I want to go red but I think I'm just bored and the upkeep is hard work. I think I'll probably just leave it as is. I haven't had color in it in over a year but it turns out that my natural color sort of looks like highlights anyway. I'd been dying it for so long I really didn't know what it was anymore.

wolf kabob (ENBB), Tuesday, 14 February 2012 01:01 (twelve years ago) link

dyed not died, obv

wolf kabob (ENBB), Tuesday, 14 February 2012 01:02 (twelve years ago) link

I'd love to go back to all red, as well, but i'd have to grow it out heaps as its all black and stripping black dye out is REALLY bad for ones hair and a PITA to boot (took 2 hours last time I had it done and hurt like hell).

thanks to denial, I'm immortal! (Trayce), Tuesday, 14 February 2012 01:04 (twelve years ago) link

Maybe I'll just start dying my roots red and have weird half-tone hair for six months lol

thanks to denial, I'm immortal! (Trayce), Tuesday, 14 February 2012 01:04 (twelve years ago) link

Christine, what sort of applicator does the dye come with? A bottle with a pointed tip? Most semis I've used have that type, I just use the point to section my hair, always starting at the front. Pro tip: apply moisturizer or vaseline etc to your ears, nape of the neck, face near the hairline (being careful not to get it on your hair) - it'll prevent staining of your skin. And I always put on a disposable shower cap while it processes.

Wigs are great, I had a blue one I liked to wear during ~~altered consciousness~~. It just makes everything more performative & fun so the two together were a good fit.

I have been dying my hair almost-black with a weird bronze finish. It doesn't make a lick of goddamn sense and I love it. I am trying to embrace being eccentric in safe ways.

OTHER NEWS OF FUN:
• I decided birthday party #29 is going to be occult themed. I stole the idea from someone else. Tarot readings and a cake shaped like Baphomet.
• Bought some good-looking underwears (good-looking = doesn't have holes eaten in it from low pH vaginal discharge, THAT'S RIGHT "THIS" IS HOW "WOMEN" "TALK")
• Bought tickets to a JOhn Hodgman show and got invited to a sculpture party the same night. I hope that doesn't mean I am going to get REVERSE WINTER'S TALED.

i never knew about this! thank you for solving my eternal mystery of where the holes come from, for reals!

One more thing, I bought some flowers for myself to celebrate how awesome I am solo (everyone seems to be worried I will have Valentine's blues so I am preempting it). The flowers are the worst garish Minnesota Vikings colors. I did my new evening routine of a vigorous stroll to a library (a library in the middle of the park!) to return a book. I had forgotten I had bought the flowers and when I opened my door, there they were clashing.

Everyone should by flowers for themselves all the time imo.

How long are you guys keeping these underwear? I have some holey pairs but that's because I have a small monster named Benson so seems to think that stealing and then chewing on underwear is the best game ever. :/

wolf kabob (ENBB), Tuesday, 14 February 2012 02:51 (twelve years ago) link

BUY

dammit

wolf kabob (ENBB), Tuesday, 14 February 2012 02:52 (twelve years ago) link

One of the pairs was like seven years old. *_*
But most a 1-2 years old.

high five delivery device (Abbbottt), Tuesday, 14 February 2012 02:52 (twelve years ago) link

4-5 yrs? i honestly don't "rc"

sarahell, Tuesday, 14 February 2012 02:53 (twelve years ago) link

I usually get the VS 5 for $25 deal a couple times a year so they don't get too worn out looking.

wolf kabob (ENBB), Tuesday, 14 February 2012 02:55 (twelve years ago) link

Or because the dog has chewed through like 1/2 of them by then. lol.

wolf kabob (ENBB), Tuesday, 14 February 2012 02:55 (twelve years ago) link

The ones that really fall apart fast (1-2 years) are the cheap cotton ones from Target. They are also cute and affordable so I keep buying them. Not sure there's really some kind of craftsmanship investment underwear I could buy even if I did have the money, so this works for me. I think my parents' garments hold together forever but that's because polyester + sacred.

high five delivery device (Abbbottt), Tuesday, 14 February 2012 02:56 (twelve years ago) link

MAGIC UNDERWEAR!!

wolf kabob (ENBB), Tuesday, 14 February 2012 02:57 (twelve years ago) link

The VS ones are cheap cotton and I'm sure by 1-2 years they'd be pretty much disintegrated.

wolf kabob (ENBB), Tuesday, 14 February 2012 02:58 (twelve years ago) link

garments are made of polyester?!!

sarahell, Tuesday, 14 February 2012 02:58 (twelve years ago) link

i always figured they were cotton or lol, silk

I did always wonder about this too! In my case its bleached out black fabric rather than always holes, but still! WTF causes it? I feel like some kind of acidic superhero. CAUSTIC GAL.

Its also embarrasing when you fling off yr jocks around a guy and it looks like something weird exploded in your pants :/ ITS JUST THE FABRIC DYE I SWEAR.

thanks to denial, I'm immortal! (Trayce), Tuesday, 14 February 2012 03:00 (twelve years ago) link

silk garments! I'd might still be Mormon. SOunds luxurious (disregarding silk's powerful insulation properties).

what does this mean???

the thing with the silkworms was one of my fave bits of historical Mormon absurdity

sarahell, Tuesday, 14 February 2012 03:01 (twelve years ago) link

ohhh man I had to google to even see what you mean. I guess it's cute that JS accidentally built all those anachronisms into his KJV fanfic but I was never able to give a fuck about whether or not horses were in South America or if it were really possibly for Jews to cross the ocean in frisbee boats lit by glow rocks.

or...what are you talking about.

high five delivery device (Abbbottt), Tuesday, 14 February 2012 03:05 (twelve years ago) link

wasn't this back in pioneer Utah days? Brigham Young decided that the mormons should make their own cloth, so they imported a bunch of silkworms, so that they could make their own silk, but the silkworms would totally freak out when there were thunderstorms, so they had to make protective coverings or something for the silkworm cages? i could be misremembering like a motherfucker.

I will admit the year of seminary on Doctrine & Covenants/church history was the year I mostly skipped class to hang out in my friends' guitar class, in which they did not play the guitar, but made chair ziggurats.

Which bit haha now I feel awkward! I mean the ph level thing bleaches stuff and on black fabric, that can cause it to.. well, basically it can go red. So you know. Ugh.

Ok I did not get the Australian bits.
Lord knows I have plenty of ugly brown skidmarks on my lighter underwear.
The first guy I had sex with saw my underwear and asked me if I shit my pants regularly. What a match made in heaven.

high five delivery device (Abbbottt), Tuesday, 14 February 2012 03:18 (twelve years ago) link

The skidmarks are from menses even though I guess that's a pooping term.

geez - i consider myself lucky that none of the guys i've been with paid any attention to my underpants once they were removed.

Oh! I assumed ppl would know what jocks were haw. Undies.

See, those are the period underwear that only get worn during certain days/times.
