Annemehr:

Me, too, only with a round pear body...(not that I'd consider shaving 
*my* head!)

And my once 'distinguished sideburns' are spreading rapidly.  If I 
pull my hair back into a clip or ponytail, it looks almost *all* grey, 
but if it's parted and hanging down, it still looks mostly brunette.  
Fortunately, the 'grey' ones are pure white.

I tried coloring it before, but *hated* it -- it just wasn't my hair 
anymore!  So now I'm just going natural.  This is not unheard-of in 
the real world, but still seems quite unusual for a woman.  So now I'm 
wondering if this group is any different -- do you like/hate greying 
hair on women or yourself?

who still likes to pull her hair up in the summer anyway, so there!
