Hi Diddly Dee, an Actor's Life for Me

"Those who agree with us may not be right, but we admire their astuteness."

Ho ho ho Maisy's conversation about hair colour sparked off a funny memory, which I thought I'd share with you lovely people, just to prove that, despite available evidence to the contrary, I was not always the fantastically well-groomed sex-goddess that you see before you today (ahem). When I was about 14 I was really quite blonde and so, in a rebellious 14-year-old girl kind of a way, I decided that I would dye my hair red (well, everyone does it at some point or another!)  So in a slightly woussy fashion I bought a wash in wash out home kit and proceeded to apply it to my lovely blonde hair, reasoning that if it all went horribly wrong it would be gone in a week. The colour looked quite cool at first.  OK, it was a bit more orange than red, but it was kind of Cathy Dennis-ish and it certainly wasn't blonde.  I also had a stronger streak of colour at the front where my hair was very sun-bleached, so I had a funky kind of two-tone effect going on - way ahead of my time, I was!  However, as the week went on and I washed my hair twice a day in the way that 14-year old girls do, the colour began to disappear.  The back of my head went back to blonde, as promised on the packet.  However, the front faded to a rather fetching (not!) shade of pale pink - and then stayed that way.  None of this washing-out nonsense.  I was stuck with a pale pink streak of hair that was quite definitely neither cool nor attractive.  I believe it was not long after this incident that I went back to having short hair...

(4.1.05 17:01) I was bright orange the first time I did it. A certain good friend decided to try one of the Body Shop's Henna kits on me. That was my rebellious streak, and my parents didn't even notice. Mind you, Bodders went a bit mental, and I'm sure she didn't believe my lie about it being down to buying a different shampoo!
