I have an old girlfriend who, at the age of 50, quit coloring the gray out of her naturally red hair and instead dyed it all a silver blond.

Yes, dammit, I know I went on to marry someone else. And yes, she does look a little like former Texas Governor Anne Richards. But it’s still a crime against nature!

I never used to think she was hot, but in the past year or two she seems to have matured. I can’t quite figure it out - in the reruns she doesn’t look drastically different, but somehow she seems more attractive in the past year or so.
