In an attempt to look nice for Adam's wedding I decided to dye my hair. I took great care in finding the best and least harmful hair dye. I even made extra sure I picked a color I had tried before just to avoid any catastrophe.
So of course my hair ended up purple. Purple.
The best part is I did it at one in the morning so there was no time to fix this fax pas. It's a good thing no one sees me at work. Oh wait I'm a secretary who interacts with dozens of people a day. Awesome.
I literally can't look in the mirror. Every time I do my thoughts shift rapidly between thinking it's flippin awesome to sport purple hair to being utterly horrified.
This afternoon I reached a calm where I convinced myself everything would be okay and I didn't look that bad. And then this conversation completely crushed the fake confidence I had spent hours building.
Fellow secretary: "Were you so embarrassed to come to work today?"
Me:
Fellow secretary: " but really, did you just scream when you first looked in the mirror"
Me:
But seriously, she has a point.
I look like an Anime cartoon.
I'm every Japanese boy's dream girl
At this point I was even desperate enough to tell my mom of my idiotic mistake. What followed was sarcasm and the comment "it's hard to support stupidity." Thanks mom.
So with no help from the fam I sent a desperate text to Kelly asking if she could ask her sister, Lynnette, a certified beautician to help me.
Three hours later we were on our way to a a professional salon store to buy dye, the only problem is I needed cash. Second problem, my gas station has a 10 dollar cash back policy...
One slurpee, a bag of sunflower seeds, and two peaches later we are on our way.
After we grabbed the new dye we took tons of pictures to capture this moment of pure hilariousity.
Now my hair is a normal shade of black. Ok, it's not the most normal look for me, but right now my normal is anything that doesn't match a my little pony do.
Who knew I would have so much in common with Lane Kim.
