The Jaded NYer- Now Available In Red!

Sometimes I get bored with myself. Just wake up bored for no good reason.

When this happens it really isn't a good idea for me to be alone because I'll usually get into something not so good for me. Idle hands and all... you know how that goes...

Well that's how I woke up on Saturday. Bored. But instead of being all self-destructive about it, I looked in the mirror and said, "That's it!" and headed to The Heights to my stylist and told her in Spanish, "Josie, I need something new."

She came up with this:



I'm still trying to get used to it; it's been almost 4 years since I had red hair. For the past couple of mornings I wake up, go to the mirror and get a little startled because my hair isn't brown. It's like "Whoa- who are YOU and what have you done with Raquel?" Then I remember. Saturday.



The Voices are a little bit bolder when they're Red, too- just a warning- so we should all be in for one helluva summer...

[side note: did you know that they also dye your eyebrows when they dye your hair? That cracks me up!]

In other news, couldn't you just eat her little face?



Miss Olivia makes me almost, maybe, kinda, sorta, perhaps, but not really but yes really miss having a baby/toddler around. They're so much fun at this age!



Oh lord, I think I just caught baby fever...MUST. FIND. ANTIDOTE.

*smooches...invoking a lil Rita Hayworth with every keystroke*
-----------
now all I need is a bit of a tan to go with the new hair color and I'll be good to go... the first sunny day I see I'm heading to Coney Island!

raquel, i like the new look. then again with those eyes and that smile...your hair could be green and you'd still come across.

well, not really green...but i'm sure you understand what i meant.

dessex said...

its been a while since I stopped by here...lovin the new hair.

The Jaded NYer said...

@jack- CHOOS?? LOL you and Mari are nuts!

@don- actually, I was thinking "green" but I got the thumbs down from the entire clientele at the salon LOL

@dessex- hey; yeah, I've been lurking at your spot, laying low, but that last post... yeah I just HAD to comment.

and in case you're wondering- yes, I really did copy and paste it into a word document for future reference LOL

The Jaded NYer said...

@don- what's funny is that you think I'm kidding...

@qucifer- GRACIAS for the shot!! I lost my damn mind for a second there!

@-1- funny you mentioned younger; I told Josie: "Oh my god, I look too young" and she goes, "well you always looked young. Now you just look younger" like that's better!

and then proceeded to put my hair in a ponytail... with bangs out? I looked TWELVE! lol

Jessica Rabbit?

I feel you about the boredom part. This is how I get into trouble. Last time I was alone and bored I gave myself a mohawk...which led to me basically shaving the rest of my head bald because of how ridiculous I looked with my uneven hawk. Eh. They should make an 'Idle Hands II' and have me star in it, you could be the co-star. Idle hands....good f-ing movie, highly slept on and underrated. Granted it's a crappy movie (contradict much?) but I love crappy movies sometimes.

@twanna- thanks!!
