THE COLOR OF MY HAIR..!! :-)
I always liked to do stuff
that would make people turn their heads and ask me if I'm normal...!
I wouldn't go too far (shave my head or pierce everything from a to
z!) but apart from some of the clothes I used to wear in the 80's
(...) I enjoyed dying my hair. I almost forgot what my natural hair color was when
somebody asked! This shot is from my red-head period. Lasted a few
months. The tough part was to prepare my poor conservative parents
for the change! But eventually, even my Dad got used to the red,
purple and pink hair!
And then, of
course, there was the pink hairdo... I felt pretty comfortable in the
pink actually! I guess some people thought that my big idol was Dame
Edna!
Here we are,
celebrating New Year's Eve (1994? As usual, I'm not sure!) in
Copenhagen, Denmark. From left: Lena, Linda and I. I was SO pissed
off that evening because somebody broke my paper-trumpet! :-) I was
actually LOOKING for a fight so I could find an excuse to punch
somebody...!
My favorite color, that I
had for maybe two years, was the purple one. I remember once at the
Malmoe-festival... I was standing outside a store, waiting for a
friend. I was wearing a short skirt and red, shiny Doc Martens. After
a couple of minutes, an old man walked up to me and said: "Excuse
me...but, your hair doesn't go with your shoes..!". There was also
this lady that came walking towards me on the sidewalk. She looked at
me with a huge smile and said: "I just HAVE to tell you: It made me
feel happy when I saw your bright colors!". This was in October when
everything here in Sweden is cold, grey and boring (including
people!). Those are two good reasons for dying your hair! People
react - they either hate you or love you, but at least they won't
just pass you without noticing you..!
