Mad Men spoilers: Well?→[More:] I'm watching it again and I'm still loving it. I didn't realize how much I missed it.
I also felt like they put Pete in a fat suit and were trying to make him look older than Don, which was weird. I think they went a touch overboard on the "pete's stressed" makeup tests.
If I had a working camera right now, I would totally do the zoobisou right now if I had the right dress. I wonder how many imitators are already up. It could be the new single ladies.
Sex kitten, probably a little longer, more Brigit Bardot.
Since I have to conform to gender role stereotypes, why not play it up?
I think if I just dyed my hair blue, I'd get a different reaction and I don't think the salon is prepared.
Research wise, way more mileage.
I am, in fact, just a big drag queen.

Coincidentally, I recently dyed my hair blue. I do, in fact, get a different reaction than I did before. It's almost like I flipped a switch that made me visible, which mostly means the people who would normal dither around and ignore me trying to get past now GET THE HELL OUT OF MY WAY when I walk down the street or through the grocery store.
I looooooovvvvvvved the two-hour premiere. I even warmed up to Megan, to my surprise. She was such a cipher last season; it's nice to see there's some personality in there.
My hair has been almost every color. I'm not into the upkeep. It is a damaging pain in the ass. But maybe the last chance I have to get away with it before I go grey (which I would only cover eith an actual color).
Because my gray hair doesn't hold color well, the blue fades out over the course of a month or two, no upkeep to speak of. Much, much easier than when I used to bleach-and-color blue or purple streaks in my dark hair.
I use to have long conversations with old ladies who, when my hair hit the light, would exclaim, "Your hair is purple!" and I'd say "And your hair is blue."
"Ok." Then they would stumble the wrong way in the parking lot as they were deeply confused.
