Forget Blondes, Redheads Have the Most Fun

October10

Sometimes I wonder if women like this exist to throw our entire gender and all the progress we’ve made under the bus:

A judge has brushed off a Connecticut woman’s claim that L’Oreal Inc. ruined her social life when she accidentally dyed her hair brunette with one of its products.Charlotte Feeney of Stratford said she can never return to her natural blonde hue, a shock that left her so traumatized she needed anti-depressants.

She says she suffered headaches and anxiety, missed the attention that blondes receive and had to stay home and wear hats most of the time.

A Superior Court judge dismissed Feeney’s 2005 lawsuit Monday, saying she never proved her allegation that L’Oreal put brown hair dye in a box labeled as blonde. The company also had disputed the claim.

Take it as someone who has had every color of hair known to man – and a few shades that could only be created by man – a disappointing color job is not the end of life as you know it.  And if you’re too damn cheap to get it done in a salon, you don’t get to complain when it doesn’t come out the right way.  In that case, it’s almost universally user error.  I say this as someone who dyed her own hair for years, and has also learned that for quality jobs, it’s best to pay someone else to do it.

    She can “never” return to her natural hair color?

    What, it won’t grow out?

    (Me, I like completely unnatural red, myself. As in “fire hydrant”.)

    Obviously, this was more than a dye, it changed the genetics of her hair roots – much as one Mengele tried to alter eye colors during the Forties.

    I also had, for a moment, wondered why she would dye if she was naturally blonde. But then I recalled Lucy Lawless, star of “”Xena,” and a picture of her when she stoped dying her hair black and reverted to “natural blonde” – bring back the coloring, Lucy!

    My aunt’s hair turned from red to black. Kinda like Michael Jackson… but concentrated in the hair.
