Is Fred feeling the heat these days with all the new competition coming out?  Will Halloween be a bust for him?  I was out shopping today and I was surprised to see loads of kids out shopping for their Halloween Costumes with their moms and I thought it was kind of funny.  Here it is the end of August and they are already out shopping.  Have you noticed that the stores are bringing out the merchandise earlier and earlier every year?I think it’s smart because with the price of Halloween outfits you need about 3 months to save up for them!  Last year I spent over $140 buying only two outfits for me and my boyfriend!  Crazy!  I bought each of us a wig, a costume and that’s about it.  I had to buy boots on top of that and they cost me another $50 so that’s 200 bucks now and I’m planning to wear the stuff again every other year.I’ll have to make sure we attend another set of parties, maybe in another city where no one knows us, then it will be alright to dress up as pirates again!I really liked the wig with black and red in it.  I went to the hairdressers last spring and asked to get the same look done to my hair.  It looked awesome for about a week, then I had a shower.  The black and red dye dribbled down my body and all over my tub.  I didn’t blow dry my hair, I wrapped it up into my nice new sky blue towel and went and laid down.  I had just painted my fingernails and toe nails a bright red.  The nail-polish needed to dry.  So I put on some nice meditation music, laid back on the couch with the fan blowing on me and laid there stiff as a board.The nails eventually dried.  I was only supposed to rest for 30 minutes, turns out I woke up 2 hours later…So I frantically get up, it’s a good thing I planned to get read 4 hours in advance! So then I remove the towel and there are red and black dye stains all over it! Nice I say to myself, totally ticked off, I just bought this fluffy new towel for $10! I notice my body has a greyish black tinge all over my chest and torso it and so did my clothes.  Needless to say I called my hairdresser and complained about the dye running and ruining my towel and I was told, “Oh that happens all the time with that color!”  There was no apology it was like I’m supposed to know this happens or something.  Sure I’ve got ESP and Psychic abilities, but I never thought of “tuning “into my intuition when getting my hair dyed.  But then again I did have some sort of niggling thought at the time and completely ignored it!  BAD IDEA! :)Now I have colored my hair several times now over the years and I have never had something like that happen to me!  But then I’ve never coloured my hair a perfect black before!  I have decided I will not be going black ever again.When I  had to wash it several times one night to get most of that black dye out, I really wasn’t too pleased with myself.  The worse thing about it was that I looked like a washed out black haired woman!The hairdresser did offer to recolor my hair, but by the time I got back to the salon, a month had passed and I had lost my receipt. So then I had this brilliant idea on how to fix my shotty dried out, over processed hair!I had the hairdresser cut off all my long hair, to about 2 inches long for free!  That way I’d have nice fresh hair in about 6 months and I could start all over again with a light brown color.  Brown mixed with red will fade but the color will not run!So beware you Twilight fans (yes I got the idea to be black and red from Twilight in the first place) before you color your hair black or red, it may run all over your new towel, clothes and body and make you look like a freak! I’ve got my towel as a reminder.  It actually looks kind of funky with these reddish brown designs  all over the sky blue towel.  Honestly it’s an original, almost tie dyed, maybe I could start a new fad in towels and make a million bucks!  :)
