Greyness? Was: Baldness, ugh, was Re: The perfectly shaped head & Pushing Thirty

[sandon96]

I always prided myself on my long blonde/brown/reddish locks until two 
months before my wedding (when I was 25), a kind(?) collegue infomed me 
after a staff meeting that I had an awful lot of grey hair on the back 
of my head. Ran screaming to the nearest salon to color it. I guess 
those weren't blonde hairs after all. Didn't think much of my 
appearance after that until I hit thirty-one, (I had my husband and 
taught six to eight year olds - who cared what I looked like?) had my 
first baby, and looked into the mirror in horror six months after his 
birth to view frump mom. I wear more makeup and maintain my hair more 
now than I ever did as a professional. It helps to know after puking my 
guts out (pg with #2 - how did that happen so quickly?) that I still 
look good (wipes running mascara away with smile).

And about fake boobs - wierd, man. A woman in my dance class a few 
years ago had cheek implants, a chemical peel, and a boob job. Those 
boobs did not move an inch when she danced. She even let us touch them 
(admit it - you would be curious, too) and it felt so unnatural - like 
wet cement packed into a balloon. The chemical peel left her face an 
unnatural brightness and one cheek implant was too high so it 
interfered with her eye rolling. She was so battered and bruised after 
the surgery, too. No thank you - labor and delivery are bad enough!
