I just got me one giant new mac, and I ain't gonna take no photos with the hair slicked back. Oh no. It is hard enough seeing my reflection in the imac shiny screen. Now if they only had the soft focus option... I want a bit of that brave you’ve got.

Nobody cares what I look like when I am driving a bus--my commuters are barely awake themselves! I never wear makeup unless I am going out to something that I should look nice at--dinner with my husband, class reunion, that sort of thing. I agree with Jenny--why bother putting it on if I just have to take it off again? Same reason I quit making my bed... *grin* I get up at 430 in the blessed morning.

I also loved the cowboy guys that came with every message from the Horse. Also, the way they tacked "Thoroughbred of Sin" on just about every scene his name was mentioned. And of course NPH and Nathan Fillion. And coming back to the blog after the failed attempt.... has me in giggles right now. And I've decided I must own it when it comes out on DVD. Must. So great.

I had to do it again :) I love this kind of time sink... I posted my results on my blog (which I think my user name links to?) I love the range you posted here! I think the blue could work in better light, with a more customizable shade. Or maybe I just want everyone else to be able to have blue hair, since I am strictly forbidden from dyeing my hair blue by my company. And Dr. Horrible? Loved it. I just keep thinking, "the hammer is my penis" and cracking up. Okay, you win.

No smearing. Re-apply every 3 days or so...My kid uses colored sharpies to streak her hair. It washes out after 1 day. Bright, but temporary. Very nice.

HWSW keeps getting pushed back, so it may never be, or it may end up as two books, one from Bob and one from me since we're having trouble co-ordinating things. As for no make-up, it's not brave, it's lazy. "I have to put stuff on my face? And then take it off at night? Wouldn't it be easier to just eliminate both steps?"
