This is what I looked like for a while last year. I MISS this hair. (And apparently so do all my neighbors!) I don't so much miss the maintenance/upkeep & cost, but the nicknames that I got from friends & strangers were pretty lovable. Especially being called Ariel -from The Little Mermaid- by a few kids at the airport and grocery stores.
I took so many cell phone pictures!

| I admit: I was a huge narcissist when I had this hair! It was so rad. |
The following pictures c/o Royal Flush Photography, who randomly approached me on 5th Avenue in NYC one day and asked if he could 'shoot' me. It was the hair. Which was fading at this point.

And here's a picture of what my hair looked like right before I went really red (as shown above).
I loved both colors. I have a ton of "my favorite red head moment" pictures, but I'll stop here. I just wanted to share this with you, so it's no surprise if I go wild on my head again this year. I'm so tempted.
Um...by the way, it's snowing here! WTFUDGE.
Love & bearhugs,
Roni
I experimented with red hair a few years back, it was dreadful on me! However, I absolutely adore it on you!
ReplyDeleteI will be in NYC late March, but that is all I know for the time being. As soon as I find out more, I will let you know. Meeting blog friends in real life would be fantastic!
I want to see more pictures of you in general, Tori! Post some, even if they're oldies (but goodies). Pweez :) The only thing I didn't appreciate from my red hair was how the bleach fried it. My hair still hasn't recovered from that, which is why I'm like "might as well just keep dying it".
DeleteYay to your March trip! I hope we have time to meet up.
You know I adore red hair! I love it on you. I love the top pic, but honestly the one of you and Mikey is my favorite. ♥
ReplyDeleteI'm so jelly of the snow right now!
-j.
Thanks, babe. ♥
DeleteYeah I think I really really really wanna go back to the bottom picture hair color again. At least for now, and for a while. Then I'll figure out if I wanna go back to the Raggedy Ann/Ariel color.
I miss your red hair!! And now would be such a great time to do it because we'd both be red heads!! LOL..That color truly looks so great on you and with your style it made everything you wore come to life in a whole 'nother way lol..you could've worn a garbage bag everyday with that hair and still looked like the raddest girl in the tri-state..if you don't bring back the red hair in 2012, I will die a little inside..almost as much as I would if JC stopped making Litas (major!!) lol........Oh speaking of shoes, Bakers shoes looked at my blog! And they said "glad you finally found your red pumps" :)..I thought that was so sweet.. but if JC ever looks at my blog I'll totally faint! lol
ReplyDeleteFirst off, THANK YOU for all the super duper sweet compliments! I love you! And I would love for us to have matching red hairsss. :)
DeleteDude, that's awesome that they commented on your blog. Holy crap, I'd faint if JC commented on YOUR blog! haha
awww no problem, Love you too!!..and yeah that would be awesome!!! Call Lissi, it's time for a bleach session :) .....
DeleteYeahhh I had posted the link to my blog under a picture i posted on their fb page just with "I <3 the Alecia"..and they commented with that under the pic..I was like o shhhz they looked at my blog :).......and LOL I know right!! ...Solestruck posted a pic on their homepage this week from this girls blog AND sent her a pair of JC Damsels for free bc they liked her blog. I forgot the name of her blog but it is really nice.
Dude, get this: Lissi has never dyed her hair. I was shocked when she told me! LOL I told her not to even bother dying it now. When I meet someone who has virgin hair I applaud them for never having given in to temptation and tell them not to ruin it with bleach. You know?
DeleteAnd that's so awesome. Yeah, I think bloggers with a solid following are the ones that get free stuff. They're such lucky beezies. I want free stuff. :)
What? wow, that's awesome!! It's rare I meet people who haven't dyed their hair..I must admit I'm always the opposite with them ..I'm always like what are you waiting for?? You'd look awesome with this color or that color!! LOL, Idk I just feel like everyone should try everything once (that's if they want to do it)......And yeahhh isn't that lucky! I want free shoes!! hmpph!
Deletei think your beautiful no matter what color of hair you rock ! but i must say the first day saw you and i saw the red hair my reaction was WOW ! that hair is AMAZING AND SHE LOOKS HOT ! lol i looove it i have my hair some what red at this moment but i'm changing it i don't think it fits me lol BUTTT i really think you should go with the red hair again <3
ReplyDeleteAw thanks, Ruby!!! I've missed you in the blogworld, girl. It's so funny cause all of Lissi's girls miss my red hair. Isaira even draws me with red hair when she's coloring. I have one of her pictures hanging in my closet. It's so cute!
DeleteI heard your hair is red right now. I wish I could have seen it before you get rid of it. My favorite was the blue you had your hair when we first met. I love that. Oooh and purple!
welcome =] . . . i know i have been having lately some brain fart going one lol . . . but i'm back .
Deleteyour red hair is so awesome and yes you should deffenetly try it out once again , ( hint , hint ) lol .
& yes there such sweet girls i love them , isaira always makes me bracelets lol its cute .
OMG! that blue lol it was an experiment and BOOM! there go's the blue i was scared to try it but i liked it , bt never as much as my purple i really miss it . lol im thinking of my next move on my hair i have a few ideas but have no settled on what yet lol.
i'll send you a picture of it or i'll let you know when i'm going over lissi's h0use =] .
Ruby!! Definitely let me know when you're upstairs next. I HATE when I miss seeing you. :( Maybe we can dye our hairs together.
DeleteHOLY CRAP. That is some amazing hair right there. And your shoes are badass. How did you keep your hair so long AND so colourful? I had pink hair a few months ago and most of it broke off from bleaching the absolute shit out of it. Poor hair. And do I spy a cat-print shirt? I think I dooo!
ReplyDeleteI did have to get my dead ends cut every month (when I kept on top of that), but I kept telling them I wanted to keep my length. I can see where the ends were SO dead in that closeup picture of me. I obviously needed to cut right there.
DeleteAnd yes! That's my black cat tunic. I love it! :) I actually wore it again the other day and thought of you.
I always knew you were cool but this hair solidifies that. I love it! I wish I had the balls to dye my hair a bold color like that.
ReplyDeleteHa, thanks! You could always take baby steps and try some crazy colored streakage.
DeleteLovely post! I love red hair. Used to have it too, and I loved being called Ariel, it's a shame it's gone and I somehow can't force myself to dye it again.

Thanks! Being mistaken for Ariel by little kids is probably the coolest/silliest thing ever, don't you think?! :) And yeah I haven't been able to do it again because I just think of the bleach and my poor hair and all it suffered between all the good times from having that color. We'll see if I do it again.
DeleteI had a same hair color, it was so fun :)
ReplyDeleteI know, Minja, I miss your red hair!
DeleteYour hair was so amazing, omg that color is wonderful and it looked so good on you, the color you have on now is also pretty but the fiery red was insanely cool! You have an awesome blog by the way and I am a new follower! Hope you will like my blog and follow back!

Thank you Sara, that's very sweet of you to say :)
DeleteI love spicy-licious Roni with the red hair. Such a standout color for a standout bombshell!
ReplyDeleteWith Class & Sass,
~Khalilah~
Mowie wowie, thanks mi amor ♥
DeleteYour hair looked great bright red. I feel like not a lot of people can pull this color off. I really wish I had the guts to dye my hair purple of blue. Eeep! Maybe one day. Please post any new colors if you do :]
ReplyDeleteDeep purple is so pretty, blue is nice too and not as noticeably "crazy". I'll definitely post some pics if I dye it again. :)
