My hair is pink and black ,
What do you make of that!
You may think I am a prat
I even bought a Trilby hat!
I just suddenly felt really edgy
It was when I hit sixty
I didn’t want to be a veggie
I needed to be nifty !!
So what was I to do
I needed to make my mark
No I did not want a tattoo
Still I wanted something to make me spark!
Today while out shopping
I was asked why have you gone black and pink
Is it because I can, I’m not out just to be shocking
No, I thought, for once in my life I want to be show stopping.
Is it because I am older that suddenly I have become bolder
I really do not know I just wanted my hair to glow
I am sick of never being seen, I am here watch me smolder.
I just want to live, we make our fates I know.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
That’s not me in the picture but the hairstyle is almost the same and I have gone pink and black. So for now there is no turning back.
Oh! and will you think me naughty if tell you my oldest son, tomorrow will be forty!

I LOVE the idea of pink and black. Fabulous….
Sep 30, 2013 @ 21:18:51
So do I but not everyone is of that opinion!! 😉 xxx
Sep 30, 2013 @ 21:21:54
I think that’s a large part of what makes it a truly excellent idea….
Sep 30, 2013 @ 21:24:41
Well I agree and I think it suits me!! 😉

Then do not listen to the dissenters… or lace their brandy with warfarin depending on what kind of mood you’re in. x

hhehehehehehe! Love the idea of the warfarin!! makes me smile that it is a medicine…. luckily I do not take it!!

I had a friend who had to take it for DVT – we had great fun ribbing him about his fat legs and rat poison to drink. (yes, I am that cruel).

true indeed! enjoy your pink hair, I’m going to take my remarkably unexciting (though less dull than some) hair to bed as it’s nearing midnight in London. xxx
Sep 30, 2013 @ 21:45:11
Same here… not many miles from you !! sleep well and wake refreshed! xx
Sep 30, 2013 @ 21:52:24
For some reason I had assumed you were in Australia!
Sep 30, 2013 @ 22:06:13
No south of England not far from London where I was born and bred. 😉

I’m in ‘sunny Croydon’ home of riots. A far cry from the rolling Devon Hills and seas I grew up amongst but it’s a lot more convenient…

I was born in London, West London but now I live in Berkshire, London is the place to be but once left it never seems the same on your return…. Noisier bigger dirtier and sadly more threatening. That might be my age. I hope you were not too badly affected by the riots…… That was shocking. Sorry for late reply you answer must of slipped through the net. 😉

How awesome! I bet you look fantastically show-stopping!! I’m in my mid-40’s and still shake it up once or twice a year with a nice head of neon blue or purple…fun way to lift the mood, isn’t it? 😀

I would be 25yrs …. you ??
Sep 30, 2013 @ 22:02:46
About the same, I think. Usually when people ask my age I reply, “Young enough to have a lot of fun but old enough to not screw it up” lol
Sep 30, 2013 @ 22:07:58
Great answer may I appropriate it please? 😉 xx
Sep 30, 2013 @ 22:09:28
Of course! 🙂
Sep 30, 2013 @ 22:14:23
Night night and thanks off to bed now.

I think a change is always good for someone. I like the colors, and I am with you if you are happy with the change, no matter what another says…always be true to yourself!
Sep 30, 2013 @ 21:42:02
Yes I agree to thine own self be true…………. I love my hair!!
Oct 01, 2013 @ 00:19:18
I actually love this hair style and color!! Such freedom and a bold statement – in a good way!!
Oct 01, 2013 @ 07:09:34
Thank you Bernice, I do like it.

I use to love doing different colors with my hair and short fun hair styles!
Oct 02, 2013 @ 05:18:31
The trouble with me is I still have not grown out of it 😉 xx
Oct 02, 2013 @ 21:56:40
I think that is great!!!
