so a blonde walks into a bar...

well... it was really more of a salon than a saloon... but last night--yes, yes, the night before the day--amy and ruth forced!, no bullied!, no.. HELD ME AT GUNPOINT! with ruth putting her foot on my neck! and amy holding my arms behind my back! and they said to me with their pointed fingers "you will color your hair or else!" (whimpering) ..and they were really mean about it. =(

...hahahaha. okay. okay. so that's one big fat lie. =D they would never do that to me. (right guys?) i wanted to color my hair but i was too chicken. (hmm... must run in the family.) they were just the right amount of encouragement that i needed. (thanks guys.) =)

see. i've always been blonde. i was a dirty blonde (...snickering) growing up and when i was about 14, i started putting highlights in my hair and have been über blonde ever since. until last night...

check out my transformation from blonde to brunette (and you gotta role the "r" on that. i would for you, but i can't. not even in person.).

before (and obviously NOT at gunpoint.)

during

and after!

don't worry guys. i may be a brunette for now but i am, and will forever be, a blonde at heart. =) it'll be back someday.

update 06/05/09: oh my gosh! i completely forgot. melissa goepfrich did my hair! and she did an excellent job if i do say so myself. =) you can find her at 'artistic hair' in south bend. or... at 574-261-9810. the end.
