Did you make a collage of your face today? Yea, didn't think so. At least my mouth is closed in all these pictures.
This hodgepodge was made to show a few of my hairstyles over the past four years. Can we look at the one at the top left circa 2003 please?! OH MY. My head looks like a bowling ball with hair. I'm off to the salon tomorrow for a cut and color, which is when I always tempt myself to go back to my original reddish-brown color. Adam only knows me as a blonde and prefers me stick with that, but sometime I have fantasies about a life where I don't have to dye my roots. A world where I don't have to sell my first born to afford some good highlights nor spend three hours of my life at the salon.
Ahhhh....to be a brunette again....I would be rolling around in all the free time and extra cash!
But, alas, as Patti Stanger would say, the blonde hair "gets his penis up."
I relayed this to a coworker today who exclaimed, "I'm so sick of all you married people only doing things your husbands want and not things that you want."
Let's discuss this. Before I was married, I would have said the same thing. I'm all about the independent woman who does what she wants when she wants to with whatever hair color she's sporting that week. But, men are mostly* visual creatures. Their brains are wired to respond to what they see, instead of what they hear or feel, unlike women. Keeping my hair blonde, although not my personal choice, is a small compromise I'm willing to make for his happiness. That sounds really dramatic.
Any physical appearance aspects that you have changed or kept due to your partner's asking? Annoyed by woman "giving in" to their husbands wishes?
*besides when it comes to eyelashes
