i’m having some major eyebrow/eyelash issues. major. i thought life was tough in boston when i had to drive across state lines in order to get the perfect tint. sure, i had a few funky dye jobs when i couldn’t make the trek and instead resorted to a life of misdemeanor crime by having my my brows and lashes tinted under the table. sure they were grey once. oh yeah and i can’t ignore that one time they were black and i tried to lighten then by scrubbing them with dish washing detergent…oh the irritation that followed. but at the end of the day, when push came to shove i was always a brisk 2.5 hour drive from MONICA and therefore if it wasn’t right i only had my lazy self to blame.

but now that i’m in california, where dyeing is legal and thus bountiful – i can’t get a good tint to save my soul. the first time – grey. and the second time – grey and faded. i don’t head back to da port and therefor MONICA until xmas and i simply can’t wait that long. there’s an ELIZABETH ARDEN spa next door to pinapple nation, and my mom keeps assuring me elizabeth arden can do no wrong. all i know about elizabeth arden is that she’s wicked expensive (disclaimer – i just checked the EA website for the first time and it’s the exact same price for the tint as i have been paying…i’m an ass – and i’m going to try to make an appointment for tomorrow).

i’m supposed to go to LA next month and could go visit steven in beverly hills. after all, steven was my first…dye job. i am just shocked that maintaining my brows and lashes is more difficult on this coast then the last one.

i bet you didn’t know life was so hard as a red head.
