Wasn’t J-Lo sporting the top left at some award ceremony? I’m suprised they don’t give you a neck-brace with that 'do. D’oh!
Ladies, Ladies! Feast your eyes on these little numbers. All the way from FRANCE! http://www.hairarchives.com/private/classic.htm
I think you’d look smashing in auburn with strawberry blonde highlights–I’m thinking Eve Ardenesque hair.
In any event, I think you’re beautiful in any hair color!
The gal on the bottom looks like she’s in pain. Perhaps from the strain of carrying her hair like that…
Those Frenchies are courtesy of Eve’s Happening Hair site linked above.
Her eyebrows look as though they were stenceled on. Do ya think?
Oh…that was supposed to be Stenciled. Man!
Eve, I’ve only seen your picture in black and white, but with your looks I’m sure you can carry off any shade and look terrific. I will pass along the following hard bitten wisdom though, as I’ve recently gone through the whole spectrum of reds. I think you’re wise to start with an auburn shade.
The Susan Sarandon red is much more forgiving to those who aren’t natural redheads. I started out with Gillian Anderson titan, which sparked much hilarity in the 'addi family, including unkind comparisons to Ronald McDonald .
Good luck!
The Happy Meal spelling didn’t change with the hair color, though. That would be “titian.”:smack:
I love those updos and always wanted to have on for some grand occasion.
I think that the auburn with highlights sounds wonderful for you. Will you post color pics after?
I’ve pledged not to cut my hair which is a very dark brown with silver strands here and there. I suppose I should pray for it to go silver faster or it will still be too dark after 40, and I am not brave enough to dye it, not when there is so much and cutting it off is not an option.
Eve, you will look fabulous whatever you do with your hair. (I’ve never seen your picture, but in my head you look like Eve Marie Saint.)
Dark hair isn’t bad for women over 40, I don’t think. Joan Crawford didn’t look scary because she had dark hair- she looked scary because she was wearing 6 tons of kohl around her eyes. (That and the lethal sense of desperation coming off her.)
I do have a question about those 'do photos, though- how do you even get your hair that big?! Who has enough hair for that?
Actually, to me Eve resembles a mature Zasu Pitts (quite a looker in her day). I had tea with her last week and I thought she had the most beautiful cheekbones. Very elegant.
Things were going along so well till you said “a mature ZaSu Pitts” . . .
As for a photo, I don’t even have a camera! Mine got stolen in New Orleans a few years ago. Maybe I can get one taken with one of those crappy throw-away jobs and have the art gal at work post it . . . Oh, I’ll have her e it to the People Pages! I really should update the tintype that’s on there now. Who’s in charge of that, again? What’s her e-dress?
Am I the only one who thought Eve was writing about this episode of Daria? http://www.tvtome.com/tvtome/servlet/GuidePageServlet/showid-756/epid-7512/ I sure hope your dye job comes out better than Jane’s!
Eve, you are a lady of impeccable taste, and I’m sure whatever you think is best, will indeed be so…you look like someone who would be good with auburn hair.
To be honest I’m glad you havn’t opted for a “golden” shade. That would be a bit tacky, no?
Our Eve in a mullet? :eek:
Hell would freeze over and JDT would convert to Judaism (hint hint) before that happens!
I’m going to dye my boring dull dark brown hair a pretty coppery shade. I just have to choose it. Love dying my hair. I hate my real color-because it’s so One Color. No highlights or anything.
I BEG your PARDON? And what, precisely, is wrong with being dyed by one’s own hand, provided one is coordinated enough not to end up with a smear of purple down the inside of one’s arm? (Quit looking at my arm, I’m talking to you! And that’s a… um, it’s a bruise, OK?)

My wife once decided to dye her hair red, partly in response to my often-expressed fondness for redheads. I’m not sure what shade she used, but it was very red. Her natural color is dark brown, so I guess she thought she needed a bright red so it would show up better. However, she forgot to take into account the fact that the hair in front had turned mostly gray, so she ended up with a two-tone look. And just to highlight the effect, she remembered to use a little dye on her eyebrows so they’d match the rest of it, but since her eyebrows were completely gray they ended up bright red. Unfortunately, I never got a picture for future blackmail purposes.
Lurkmeister’s story reminds me of the Outback commercial. The woman is FREAKING out about a bad dye job and tells her husband she just can’t leave the house. He says, “So we’re not going to Outback?” and she says, “I’ll get my purse.” Heh.
I had a girlfriend in jr. high who was a natural dishwater blonde. She DYED HER HAIR JET BLACK. What in the hell was she thinking? Thirteen years old and she looked like…I dunno what.
Well, now I’m getting nervous, as my hair looked really good today. Oh, well, if I hate it, I can always have it dyed back.
So, about photos: that People Pages pictures of me was taken back during the McKinley administration, and I feel silly having people still refer to it. If I buy one of those throw-away cameras and have a decent snapshot taken, and have the art dame here at work scan it, how would I go about posting a link to it so y’all can marvel over my luxurious head of Rita Hayworth tresses? [Or, my hilarious head of Bozo locks?]
