Efemmera

Dyeing hair now. I would note that hennaing my hair would be less perturbing to my sense of 'this makes sense as a thing to do' if it didn't, when all mixed up, look so much like brownie batter or possibly chocolate frosting. Of all the things to apply to my head . . . .

(dirtydianadd: the hair dye tints my skin orange, but it washes away quickly. Is that close enough? ;) Actually, I was peering at my forehead while, er, frosting my head and it occurred to me that it's not bad as a fake suntan. Though rather more vibrant and alive than my usual vaguely green tones.)

Made a lunch date to talk with nex0s about Chiro's hair for the WIP. And get pho, probably, at the pho place with the bowls with the same volume as a cross-section of my midsection.

And to round out the femmitude and such, I've finished making that nice white dress (a few days ago); I need to test out the eye makeup stuff that I got while erispope was visiting and maybe get a good photograph in full Egyptiana getup.

In other notes, have repotted a couple of my new plants, and am pondering two new statues: Nebet-Het and Seth. I want to try to get Nebet-Het done before Samhain, since my spirit of perversity has dictated that as soon as I convert away from being Wiccanesque I should feel a need to celebrate it. (And given that two of my great-aunts died this week, I have spirits to gift during their seventy days.)

Despite the fact that this was not to me:
I hear that if one applies hair conditioner to one's temples and forehead, dyes cannot permeate this barrier of glop. I have never tried, not having dyed my hair.

Wow, you're naturally blond? ;)

I used to use Vaseline for this purpose, but I have achieved a transcendent and meditative level of can't be arsed.

Mmm... brownie batter...

I wanna see a picture of you! :) You'll be happy to know that Hawaii has turned me orange again, I'm going to go to the hairdressers as soon as I have $ to see if they can't do something to make me brown again. Hopefully I'll stay that way....

I suppose that's better than just resigning oneself to a universe that wants one orange. ;)

Aga says I look exactly like I always did. I'm not sure how to take this. ;) But at some point I'll try to get a full Egyptiana photo, at least, now I've the dress done. Sometime when I can talk with teinedreugan about it in daylight; the henna doesn't show up well under electrics.
