Red Hot
Okay see - I am not one to brag about myself. My books maybe, or my poetry. I even went so far as to be proud of my crafts galore and said, "lookee at what I did". But I never crow about "me".

Twice in a week, I have been complimented on my hair (Bonnie C ... stop laughing). And not too long ago, I had two remarks about it in one day. At the Yellow Rose meeting, one of the buds commented several times. (My color has mellowed since Christmas and is now a lighter shade of auburn - hey, it works with the freckles - use them or cover them up with make-up and long sleeves.)

Back in October, I blogged about The Rosebuds retreat and the waiter at the restaurant. That was funny and just after that a woman stopped me out of the blue and asked who did my hair. I have to say, the comical look of dismay and disgust when I told her I cut and color my own hair made me laugh for several hours.

I don't remember getting too many compliments when it was blond - of varying shades. What is it about red hair that makes people stop and feel the need to comment. Don't get me wrong, I like the praise but I am unused to it and often am not sure what to say. I suppose a polite "Thank you" would suffice - and often I joke and tell them the box number so they t0o can enjoy the luxurious light auburn by Miss Clairol.

Hugh... yummmm...

You know what, I got a lot of compliments after I left the hair color on too long (moral: don't answer the phone whilst coloring your hair!)

My hair got a reddish tint to it and I couldn't believe how many people noticed it and said it looked great. Maybe what they say about blondes should also be said about red heads.
