Do y'all think I could pull off being a redhead? I'm watching this really crazy show on VH1 about girls auditioning to become a Dallas Cowboy's Cheerleader (yeah, I know. but I'm bored and there's nothing on). And there's this one girl with just GORGEOUS red hair. Yes? No?

I think with your coloring, you could go auburn, but I like your hair the way it is.

Can you get away with coral make-up colors? If not, and if you are a red/blue skin tone as I believe, don't go with a lighter shade/orangey red. I know. I tried it once. Everyone hated it.

You could try on wigs first. In any case, I think your hair is light enough that you could buy a non-permanent color.

Well, I do need to make an appointment with my stylist to get a cut. Maybe I'll bring it up to her. See what she thinks?

I don't think you could pull off the cherry red color I was sporting one summer (I don't think I pulled it off very successfully) but like others have said, you can do auburn. Red with brown mixed in. And I think you'd look hot.

BTW me and Ry have been in cosplaying mode since I got back from DC. We the collective have decided that you and I are going as Switch and Trinity next year. And no you don't get to argue. If you do, we're going with my original hot Vulcans idea. ;-)

Oh, fine! Guess I'll be chopping off my hair and bleaching it out... :-P Hehe Good thing I have that leather jacket, though. :-)

You won't need to do that until next September. I gotta cut my shorter back to the length I had it when I was 13! Gotta make sure I don't see my mom for at least six months afterwards, she'll flip. At any rate that means I need to get around to getting a nice leather jacket...and pants....here's hoping it's not too humid in Atlanta next year, this year was pretty nasty.

Well, I do have the leather trenchcoat. You can borrow it, if you want. :-) Plus she had a tank top on underneath. So if it is way too hot, just take off the coat! :-D

[erin-anderson.livejournal.com]

Don't you need the coat for Switch? And you're right she doesn't run around with the coat on the entire trilogy, so yeah I can do coat less and wear the coat inside for the full effect (especially inside some of the rooms, it's DAMN cold).

[switch842.livejournal.com]

Switch is in off white leather. Trinity's in the black. I have both. :-) Well, Switch's is a little longer than the one I have, but it'll do.

[erin-anderson.livejournal.com]

Well that's good cause I don't do white too terribly well. Nice to know I won't have to go get the jacket, just the pants and the other bits of the outfit. And of course I can take care of getting us airsoft pieces and holsters so we can do cool Charlie's Angels type pics. ;-)

[switch842.livejournal.com]

Woohoo! I'll have to pull out the movie again to check out the accessories and all that.... :-)

[erin-anderson.livejournal.com]

Yeah me too. I did ask Ry what weapons he thought they carried. He couldn't remember what Switch carried but he is almost certain that Trinity touted a pair of Beretta 9mm's.

Hair color

I was thinking auburn also, before I even read Hatusu comment. Maybe a slightly redder version similar to the hair color of actress Andy McDowell.

I guess auburn it is! I did awhile back do this thing with reddish lowlight and blonde highlights. Perhaps just do more red? :-)

[discodiva76.livejournal.com]

It's longer and more complicated to have done, but how about having it a nice reddy gold color and have some blonde highlights to compliment it?....


Deeds xx

[hatusu.livejournal.com]

That seems familiar. :-P

[switch842.livejournal.com]

I have actually done that. :-) Well, it was mostly blonde highlights with some of the red tossed in for contrast. I did really like it when I had that. So perhaps just amp up the red bit?

You must have seen my picture post at the exact time I posted it because as soon as I saw how big it was after I posted, I immediately went and put it behind a cut.

:)

Yeah, I left a comment and then when I went back it was OK! LOL That is a very cool pic, though... :-D
