Unbusty brunette here but there’s still hope at 17. But then I’d have to buy more clothes. Can pass for Spanish, Italian or Greek at close range. 5’6", slender, 57lb and naturally tanned - thank Goddess for my strange genes. I am planning to go either postbox red or dark green in my student days although I don’t think I’ll have the courage. If I keep telling myself it will look good, I might actually do it but I’ve seen too many botched up home jobs I’m a little scared. Grabs a tequila on the way out. Hey iampunha, you’re cute as well as sweet. Night everyone, I’m going to bed. ---

I feel like this is a personals ad! Aubornish brunette checking in. I’m only somewhere in the B range, 107lbs, 5’7" adorable, and intelligent. I also like long walks on the beach and kittens, but that’s irrelevant to this thread. 🙂 ---

Hi Punha! I can’t believe you made a thread with almost my whole name in the title. And yes, I managed to find it! I am (in fact) a Brunette, have been all my life, except for some wild and crazy days when I used to dye it red. As for the second part of the title, I would describe myself as semi-busty. I like being a brunette because I don’t get hit on as much in chatrooms. Not that I mind being hit on, I’d just like it to be for something slightly more meaningful than my hair color, for cryin out loud. Love ya all! ---

I personally am most attracted to people (in terms of hair) with red hair, but brunettes can be better. One in particular. [OT]Hi Brunetter! I’d say (and I think Lazarus7 would agree) that yer more than semi-busty:) And FTR, 5’10" 155-ish lbs, brown hair. And no, I ain’t gonne link to pics of myself. Y’all can go explorin’ on yer own. ---

Although I was born with black hair which fell out and grew back blond, I have been a brunette for about fifteen years. Oh. And I’m starting to spill over my B’s… so yeah, whatever that means. ---

I’d say that we have mostly brunettes and other colors like black and red. Answer your question? 😃 ---

I think I’m beginning to live vicariously through this thread. Yeah, yeah, oesgal, I know you’re not surprised;) But honestly I’m attracted to most decently-kept hair, so long as it looks nice (to me) . . . as I told tiggeril, I’m an equal-opportunity flirter. ---

nadin, that’s okay, I figured you meant in some other term of measurement but I just wanted to be sure. 🙂 You sound much, much healthier now that you said you’re 126lbs. ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by tiggeril \* > \*\*Um… does black hair count? \*\* As in “raven tresses?” You know, I think one of the greatest thing your people have brought to this country **is really, REALLY, great hair.** And saris. A beautiful woman in a silk brocade sari and with dazzling hair knocks me out. I watch those Saturday morning Indian videos just for the hostesses. \ ---
