Chalk One Up For DIY Hair Color

This is brilliant.

My friend, Genna, sent this to me, and I am dying to try it out. Have you ever had something really cool to go to, like a concert or party, and wanted to try some funky colors in your hair? Well, you could try to track down some faux pieces, or (gawdluvya) ACTUALLY dye your own hair...or you could try chalking.

Yes, it's exactly what it sounds like. You use chalk to color your hair. Basically, you spray your hair with water, then rub non-oil-based chalk onto the strands. Set the color with a curling iron or flat iron. The color will wash out the next time you shampoo. Again, I haven't tried this, but if anyone has and wants to share pictures or experiences, let me know in the comments.

WHILE I WAS OUT

Okay, so I haven't really gone anywhere. Still...I'm never really all here...

My latest blog post is up at Paranormal Pop Culture. If you've ever been curious about the Jersey Devil or indie filmmaking, check it out. It's fun. :)

I've been a big fan of Neutrogena makeup remover wipes for some time now. However, I've recently switched to Olay Total Effects wipes. Look for a review sometime in the near future. Also, I'm still on the hunt for one more Real Techniques brush, then I can review the set. Unfortunately, we only have one Ulta in town, and I don't feel like paying shipping for one. flipping. brush.

Lastly, I received some promo codes from the Mints (JewelMint, ShoeMint, etc). If you are looking to join any of those groups--note: this is for first-time purchases only--leave me a message in the comments. I may be able to hook you up with a discount. Of course, this is while supplies last, only.

Laissez Les Bon Temps Roullier!

Happy Mardi Gras!

If you're not from around here (or, like me, and stuck at work), you can still enjoy the parades by clicking this link. It's a live feed of all the action, courtesy of a local news channel. Sit back, pour yourself a hurricane, and let the good times roll!

Big Trouble in Stream of Conscious

So, last night Thomas and I were discussing how that Disney exec announced to the world that story didn't matter anymore in movie making. If you missed that, you can read all about it here. I just kind of stared at the screen for a while in stunned silence. Anyway...we both wondered what old Walt would have to say about the situation, and I mused that he probably welcomed Roy into Heaven with two questions: What the heck are they doing to my company, and were my last words really 'Kurt Russell'?

Well, that just led to a conversation about the awesomeness that is Kurt Russell, which, inevitably, led to Big Trouble in Little China. That, in turn, got me on an Asian-inspired fashion kick, which ended up with me scouring the interwebs for a cure to my craving. What I found was a cheesy but fun dress-up doll game. Yes, I'm thirty-one and too old for paper dolls and Barbie. So what? This is cool, and a lot easier on the credit card than a wardrobe upgrade. I warn you, though, it's mildly addictive as a time-waster, so proceed with caution. Now, if you'll excuse me, I want to see the blue formal with a silver hairstyle...
