Let's Get Some Kool Aid Hurr

I blame Pinterest for planting this ridiculous idea into my head.  For some reason it seems like a good idea to trade my fairly normal (black ombre fading to blonde/unintentional orange) hair for something resembling light bright, or my little pony.  Let's stick out like even more of a sore thumb, we already have nail rings, weaponry as a phone case, and jackets made from rugs.  Hopefully I won't end up bald, normal hair is probably better than no hair.  

Now for a video that I hold near and dear to my heart...




If you are classy, you'll most likely home dye your pink hair in your kitchen sink.


Love these two colors together! 


Your eyebrows look ridonkulous, how long do they take you to paint on every morning?



Damn girl, your head is brighter than a flare in the middle of the ocean...




Neon Green, its so perfectly unnatural...


Oh look, men can do it too! I'm pretty jealous of how simple this would be for them while having such short hair, it must be so ridiculously EASY to be a dude.  This is my version of menswear, so any smart guys reading, get on this...I'll probably date you if your hair is this color, just sayin'.


So everyone gives all the glory to the celebs for starting all these crazy "trends" but that is giving them way too much credit.  Lets not wait that long, its definitely not as cool when it becomes that mainstream...


 Wow, this is probably the most subdued I've ever seen Lady Gaga.



I've used Manic Panic hair coloring in the past but what I found was only semi-permanent, not good.  It made my badass purple turn to a throw-uppy (yeah thats a word) lavender faster than you can close your eyes to blink.  I'm hoping to attempt a ridiculously florescent green, and hopefully won't go bald in the process.  Any suggestions on technique or product???  


I also found this, a pretty decent instructional video on how to get some crazy ass hair.  I can't wait to try his....erm...her techniques and products, well, "this person" recommends Special Effects hair dye.  Yeah this kinda creeped me out too.

Get Your Geek On

What goes with pocket protectors, nose bleeds, and straight A's on every midterm?  How about some thick rimmed, ridiculously nerdy glasses?  These are surprisingly on trend, though I would ditch the other factors that might accompany such a geeky look.  Personally, I've never had the need to wear glasses but have ALWAYS been secretly jealous of those near-sighted, far-sighted, or no sighted ones, you lucky blind dogs, you.  You get to spend hundreds of dollars on some fancy frames that can express your style, whether that being a nerd, design major, or just straight up hipster (whatever that is, anyway).  I am no longer afraid to be judged by my poser-like attraction to being blind, I will fully embrace it.  Hopefully no one will try them on and see what a liar I really am... Now pretending to need glasses when I actually don't, I would say that's pretty badass. 



Even the Biebs jumped on this bandwagon, but err, maybe he should stick to coloring books or playing with his toy trucks instead.



Check out this chick's hair!  I'm waay too jealous, should I bring on that Koolaid hurr dye to my own locks, gurl?


Cool rims, dude.  You creepy Morgan Freeman lookalike.


I say there should be some actual glasses like this...I mean wouldn't you wear them?


I found these crazy steampunk glasses on etsty, for way to much money than they are worth.  What the hell is steampunk anyways? I'll google it and get back to you.


I know I've mentioned 80's purple before, but they are way too ridiculously amazing not to.  Here's two of my favorites below. Yeah, it may be a little pricey, but I mean, what else are you going to spend your hard earned cash on other than fake eyewear?  You little liar, you.
80's Purple 
Geek $85
wayfarer optical frame rad09 (gray clear) $65

So what do you think of lying to society through non-prescription eyewear? Yay or nay?
