I and some of my fellow brown-haired dopers were feeling left out in the Redhead thread.☹ Here is the chance for those of you who have brown hair (by choice or genetically, or whatever else there is) to chime in, flirt (yeah, like you need an invitation for that!), and whatever else. My only regret is that Brunetter, in all likelyhood, will not see this thread. [sheds a single tear] I can’t think of anything else to say . . . this is such an uninspiring OP.

Well, what are we supposed to SAY? Are we to regale the masses with 1001 tales or our hair, or of our bustiness? ---

Speaking as a lifelong brunette, I can say that I like who I am. Oh, and btw, I am NOT busty, and proud of it! So :-þ Oh, and what is the point of taking your shirt off? We don’t need to go there to make this interesting 🙂 ---

Eve, do whatever you like. I was trying to leave the OP open to anything in particular. OESGal, I sensed the OP lacked . . . that special something, and I was trying (failed attempt) to inject it with adrenaline or something somewhat exciting. ---

Well, having seen your picture, I can say that yes, some may find the fact that you took your shirt off exciting 😃 ---

I’m not a brunette, but I am a redhead. Let me be the first to say that redheads are vastly overrated. Robin ---

I am a brunette and I have a bust. So I guess I fit right in. As far as interesting stories go… This one time, at brunette camp… 😃 ---

Well, OK, I am a brunette . . . Just cut my hair short and am experimenting with rollers and pincurls to get the look I want. Dark brown hair with just a hint of red–not enough to get into that other thread–and a dozen or so silvers among the brown. I am hoping to develop a really neat white streak like my Mom has. As far as the “busty” part goes . . . Well, I have recently lost six pounds (I am entirely eliminating food from my diet) and am now approx. 38-27-37. In that order. ---

Well, I horned in on the red-head thread because I have red highlights, but really, it’s mostly brown. As for busty - 38D. As for flirting, please see my sig. 😉 ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Eve \* > **experimenting with rollers and pincurls to get the look I want.** Which would be “Theda Bara?” Works for me! Brunet (is that the masculine form?) and, unfortunately, rather bustier than many women. ---

hmmm… blondes tease, burnettes please 😛 Since there’s no blonde thread, I guess we could change it to: red-heads tease, burnettes please As for busty…i’m just a little to large to wear those cute little tight shirts with pictures/prints right smack on the front, yet barely large enough to get a guy to talk to my chest only. Would those be called grapefruits? oranges? they are no melons that’s all know… flirty? heh…no one knows me yet, i’m a newbie, just see how many posts i have…but don’t even get me started on that subject 🙂 ---

Brunette here, well. this week anyways. I have dark brown hair naturally, but i dye it different colors all the time, It’s cheaper than changing my wardrobe for a new look, and to the busty thing, does a 40 DDD count? ---

Brunette here but I was rated a 10 for my highlights in that _other_ thread! My measurements? Well, I’ll give you a hint… there are several 3’s, a 2 and a 5 in there somewhere but I won’t tell you in what order!😉 Thanks Meephead, we **are** more fun!
