Day 262
Right, so I'm all for originality and uniqueness. I think people should be able to express themselves (within reason). The thing is, there comes a point when you have to use common sense when expressing yourself. For example, a 45 year old 300lb woman should not express herself by getting a belly button piercing and then flaunting it wearing a string bikini. Why not? Because that, my friends, is offensive. I don't care who ya are, that's just nasty and while I am sure there are some freaks out there that would find it *vomits* sexy? Pretty sure most people would rather ya just cover it up.
I'm a big one for expressing myself through my hair. I change my hair color all the time and have for years. It's my way of expressing myself. I don't have the piercings or tattoos. I don't change the style of my clothing (even when others think I should). I'm pretty much just a hair changer - and thank God for my hairdresser going along with some of my stupid ideas. Anyway, I saw this....
and snickered. First of all, if you're over the age of say, idk maybe 18, you probably shouldn't be dying your hair hot pink - unless it's Halloween. That's just my personal opinion. Second, YOU'RE LIKE 40 YEARS OLD. Are you kidding me?! OMG, I can't even imagine Megan's mortification if I walked up to her school this afternoon with hair that color. I can assure you, she would never speak to me again.
Point here is that while I definitely encourage expressing yourself, I firmly believe that at some point you need to grow up.

Something along the lines of: Just because they make it in your size, doesn't mean you should wear it. ??? My red hair was never that bad, right???
