Exciting new hair color for January, 2005!
James Kibo Parry
orange (from reddish-orange to yellowish orange), with an occasional
day of gold in between the re-bleaching and the re-dying. Last non-
orange color was the cobalt blue I had the day before Halloween.
Much as I love the orange, it's important to do a different color
once in a while to confuse the issue.
Maroon is a color that isn't easy to produce with dyes. "Red" dyes
give you a red with a pinkish, purplish, or orangish cast. There is
no single, safe, water-soluble pigment that will dye hair maroon --
you can only approximate it by mixing other colors. (There are some
great maroons in chemistry -- for instance, carmine lake -- but hair dye
seems limited to the more Froot Loopy shades.) I've tried working with
Manic Panic Vampire Red (which was nice and dark, but too purple)
and Special Effects Cherry Bomb (too magenta) and a few others.
Tonight I decided to try for maroon again by mixing the dyes I had
on hand, knowing I would probably get some off shade but willing to
settle for whatever resulted from my experiments. I had a jar of
Manic Panic Wildfire (a fluorescent rubine -- aka magenta) to which
I added some Jazzing Bold Gold (a transparent goldenrod) until the
slime was a nice cherry-skin dark red. I knew it wouldn't be that
dark on my hair, but I didn't want to risk mixing in any black,
so I put it on my head to see what sort of medium red I'd get.
The end result is a bright red, slightly flourescent, like the
burners of an electric stove when they're glowing red-hot. The
fluorescent quality is muted, but it's still present, and the
highlights have a little bit of a magenta sheen. (It'll probably
all fade to magenta, so I'll have to bleach it again before
that happens, probably about a week from now. At that time I'll
put the traditional flame orange back, or perhaps experiment
with a mixture of Pillarbox Red and black.)
So to sum up: My current hair color is glowing red. Do not look
directly at hair. May irritate scalp.

Oh I disagree. The standard hair dye colour called "BURGUNDY" will
produce a maroon result if you put enough of it on for long enough.

This immediately put me in mind of Queensland Rugby League fans. And
then it put me in mind of people who paint their faces elaborately for
sporting events. I've never done it, but I imagine it would be a lot
of fun sitting for hours watching your team get whipped as the face
paint gets hotter and more greasy. Or would it get drier, thus
contracting and stretching the skin painfully? Probably the former I
would think, but either is good. And then the fun ride home on public
transport.
In turn, this makes me think about politicians who let flies crawl
about on their face when they're interviewed on TV. BRUSH IT OFF!
BRUSH IT OFF!!! Surely their polling must indicate 99% of voters would
prefer they brush the fly away. I assume they must think it would look
like a sign of weakness, but to me it looks like a sign of LUNACY.
Now, this immediately put me in mind of the 1932 film "Freaks". I
watched it the other night and the combination of the poor audio and
the midgets' high pitched, piping voices made it absolutely impossible
to follow. I gather it is the story of how chickens take over the
world. A MUST WATCH CLASSIC; FIVE STARS.
That's enough thinking for today.

Apropos of little: This morning, when a luser driver did some luserly
thing (can't remember what - gets drowned out amongst the 104 other
luserly things that similar lusers do every day), I yelled out
"you maroon!"

I think it's usually done with zinc oxide ointment, which pretty much
just sits there without doing anything but absorb UV and give you
elaborate patterned sunburns if you didn't remember to cover your entire
face in some base color.

Ick, no. Burgundy has purple in it. Maroon doesn't. Like I said, if
I wanted that sort of thing, I'd go with Manic Panic's Vampire Red.
I'm looking for more of a carmine lake. Red plus a hint of black,
not red plus a hint of purple.
Imagine a movie poster that says:
Billy Bob Thornton _is_ Benjamin Disraeli!
Except that I have an Abe Lincoln beard too.

Maybe you should infuse your hair with cactus extract and then just fill
it with live cochineals. Also I thought Carmine was one of your least
favorite "Love, American Style" meta-spinoff characters anyway.

This hair style is not approved by Kim Jong Il.

You are so wrong you'll likely never be right at any point in the
future.
What the voters want is for their snakelike tongues to snatch the fly
out of the air, revealing the politician's reptoid heritage.

I've never seen "Boobah", though I understand that it's the same show
as "Teletubbies" if all the Teletubbies had lobotomies and eczema.
Do they teach the kids the same disinformation as elementary school
art class? "If you mix bright blue paint with bright yellow paint,
you get bright green!" WRONG WRONG WRONG! You get a muddy desaturated
green! And mixing black paint with white paint does not make medium gray!
It just makes more black!
And what's the point of finger paint? They "teach" finger-painting in
school even though it's not really something that you need an expert
to teach you ("Now stick your hands in the gunk, then make a mess.
There will be a test on this complicated procedure.") and it's useless --
when was the last time you saw a finger painting hanging in a museum
next to the Mona Lisa?
Also, you can't make _anything_ by braiding gimp. That stiff plastic
stuff is one of the world's most useless "art" materials. Doesn't even
come in a nice shade of maroon to match my latest attempted hair color.
I can't make my gimp do anything interesting no matter how much I abuse it.
-- K.
The one good thing
I can say about "Boobah"
is it just made me look
up how to spell "eczema".

Oh, no, this is a very different experience. I believe it is designed
to get British preschoolers to exercise.
Also, Teletubbies does not have the Storytime People.
You must give a gift to the Storytime People, or they will come up from
under the floorboards in the middle of the night and TAKE WHAT THEY
WANT.
Well, OK, that last is not explicitly stated in the show, you kind of
have to read between the lines a little.

Dude, if you're making your gray paint by mixing one can of black paint
with 512 cans of white paint, I've got news for you, it would cost 1/513
as much to just buy a can of gray paint. They make paint in more than
five colors now. They even make paint with sparkles in it for girls.
But boys know that sparkles are not one the five primary colors.

Kontext-Away knows nothing. The Obvious Bag knows nothing. You saw
nothing, you know nothing, you're going to make yourself useful and
go out and buy yourself a can of gray paint and take it home and
separate it into one can of black paint and 512 cans of white paint.

Paint with _suede_ in it? What do you do with that, throw it on people
who aren't wearing enough fur?
Wake me when they make a paint with black leather in it. That would
be the ultimate fingerpaint. I'm envisioning a version of "Goldfinger"
where James Bond has to hunt me down after I've finger-painted Jack Black
black until he died of whatever version of skin suffocation you can get
from wearing too much leather. (Of course we wouldn't really kill him
just to make a movie, especially since it's not even possible to wear
too much leather.)
Why don't they make good James Bond movies any more? Somewhere in
Scotland, poor little Alan Cumming is just sitting by the phone waiting
to play the role... Come to think of it, he has a small role in the
last good one ("Goldeneye") so the producers must have his phone number
on file. Let Alan Cumming be Bond! The movie could have a scene where
he gets reeeeeally interested in investigating Tom Cruise's friend
getting roughed up. The title would be "Never Say Fidelio".

Well, you *could*, if you were somehow bathed in tannic acid or
something of that nature. That would probably be too much leather.
Or it would at least make you look like one of those showcase
models from "The Price Is Right".
