50 Shades of Gray

I am a shameless huckster.  I lured you in with "mommy porn" (that's a phrase I hate as much as 'baby bump').  Yes, I've read it.  Well, that isn't entirely true.  I started to read it, but the writing was too horrible and I soon abandoned it.  So this is not a book review.

After my last post I was asked for an update on my pigmentally challenged hair follicles.  In other words, how's the gray growing in?  I decided back in August I was done coloring my hair.  It was an uphill battle and the grays were winning.  I decided to embrace middle age and just go with it.  It's nine months later and there is considerable growth, although not as much as I had hoped, damn!  I did do one lowlight treatment back in February to even out my skunk line and I kind of regret it (although it looked fab at the time).  It did soften the line, but the places where the lowlights were put in have turned brassy, like my colored hair.  There is still considerable gray mixed in with that, but live and learn.  So here is where I am at.

It is really gray/white around my face.  

This is the photo I doctored last summer to get a sneak peak.  Pretty damn near close.  should be interesting when it's fully grown in which will be when I am dead at this rate.

Not AS bad in the back......of course.

Damn.  should have stuck it out.  

There you have it.  I should be done in another year at this rate.  I will not cut my hair short.
