…We interrupt this blog’s normal High Brow Reporting with a completely ridiculous and irrelevant post…
Last Friday night started out normally. Well, “normally” for me, anyway, in that I was getting ready to go out with friends and was using that as an excuse to color my hair. (These days I need a good excuse because coloring my hair is SO INCREDIBLY BORING.)
I poured a glass of wine and opened my 830th box of hair color. I buy the same brand every time: L’Oréal Feria in my usual shade, “Bronzed Brown.”
Except for whatever reason it wasn’t Bronzed Brown.
It was Jane-from-Breaking-Bad-Blue-Black.
Only older and with fewer drugs in my system.
I immediately complained on Facebook, of course, and then finished my glass of wine and left for the concert.
A Goth Brooks concert, in my case.
Get it? Ha ha. The joke’s on me.
“Blame it all on my roots…”
The concert was a ton of fun. He puts on a good show, as did his band.
(This from a gal who’s less country than most.)
(I do love me a good fiddler, though, and Garth Brooks is touring with one of the best.)
It was interesting to me, his approach to this tour. He took a break from touring to be home with his family–he’s married to Trisha Yearwood, which you probably knew–and is now 52 and doing two shows a night for most of his tour.
We attended his second show of the evening, which started at 10:30 and went until 2:00 a.m.
That’s stamina, for both him AND me.
Now I am back to being your average wife-and-mom, albeit one with jet black hair.
You can bet I’ll check the label next time.
Don't hate me, but I still kind of like it on you.
I think you look amazing. I love it!
Are you guys SERIOUS? Or are you just messing with me so that I'll leave it? ; )
Love it on you!
Leave it!! I think it looks great on you! I actually like it better than the bronze-y brown. It makes you look younger, IMHO.
I'm being totally serious. In that picture with you and hubby, it makes your eyes and lips pop.
I think you look good! Don't get me wrong, there is nothing wrong with your normal color but this looks good too! It rather highlights your features as Charlotte says.
I'm loving the black. Really. Add some leather and wowza!! (hahah)
Love the blue sweater and the snow and the color in this picture, I really do love the black!
Glad the concert was fun! How could it not be?
I LOVE your hair black!!!!
Look at you, Raven! Btw, I kind of like that name for you too. Raven Margaret. Any who, I'm not sure if it's just because we all really like you and your haircolor doesn't matter, but you really do look cute in this color too. I will also be honest when I say that I checked out Bronzed Brown because you use it and honestly, I am still not in like nor love with my current shade. Being that I will also be on my 830th box one day, I really need to find something that lasts and covers this (increasingly more in number) resistant premature grays. Sigh.
Any way, back to reality. You are a brave woman heading to the late show, but I bet you had a blast. Good for you!! I have heard rave reviews about Garth's latest tour.
Happy Monday!
I also love it! It looks very pretty with blue!
I like it! It makes your eyes pop and your skin look so soft.
You look beautiful…color is for you!
The color looks great. Garth used to live in our area. My children and I saw him in Target just last year around this time and even in retirement, where he lived all the time–he was a BIG deal. I asked them, "Can even imagine now that he's out of retirement? "
I love it! You look great!
I love it! It looks fantastic on you – especially with the blue in the last photo! You definitely have the coloring to pull it off. I wish I could color my own – my hairdresser always mutters something about "resistant grays" when she colors mine so I don't think the end would be pretty if I tried it myself 😛
I agree with the above…I like it. I like the other shade better. But this is still really nice. You look like you could have naturally black hair 🙂
I LOVE the color! You look fabulous! I went to Garth a week ago Sunday ~ he was very fun to watch. I love that he truly seems like a genuinely nice guy!
yikes.. Garth creeps me out. I knew some high school age girls who used to frequent his concerts back in the nineties, and his people would move the cute groupies to the front row seats. That probably explains the break-up of his marriage, too.
Oh, Raven! I love it actually.
The picture of you and your husband is perfect. You look beautiful, happy, and beautiful.
