that time i dyed my hands red.

this is the end of the story:


and this is the story:

first, no i didn't murder anyone.

it all began when my friend amy wanted a red streak in her hair.
and i said, "i can do that!"
and i can.
and i did a good job, hammit.

...except for the part where i said,
"there's still bleach on these gloves, i can't use them to do the red dye."

and thus i said,
"i'll just use my hands! i'll only touch the dye for like 30 seconds."

and i did.
and well...

please refer back to the picture above.

i've tried:
shampoo, dish soap, exfoliating body wash, toothpaste, baking soda, apple cider vinegar, nail polish remover, voo doo magic...

no dice, kids!

and thus i look like i've murdered someone.
and it may appear this way for a couple weeks.

the best part is that a litttttle bit of red dye comes off my hands every time they come in contact with a cleaning agent.

and thus this morning i realized,
"i can't shampoo my blonde hair or it will turn pink!"

and thus i found myself kneeling over the bathtub,
while my blessed roommate washed my hair for me.

and i giggled the entire time.

also, please don't ask about the 80s garb and side ponytail.
that's another story.

Bahaha oh Katie! I like how you specified "exfoliating" body wash. Well at least it makes for a good story. Especially when you make up how it happened.
