nightmare and dreams.

 They say to never tell your wishes, because then they won't come true.  I've always felt that nightmares work the same way.

Ladies, I'm sure you can identify with me here.  A major life event happens and you just need a NEW ME.  Most of 2019 was a struggle for me, especially after September & I took it out on my hair.  I was stressed out & I also was having a hard time finding a stylist in Hawaii that did blonde color well & didn't want to charge me an arm & a leg for it.  I've done the majority of my own color since I was 14 years old, including the beautiful plantinum blonde I got so many compliments on, so I decided to take matters into my own hands.  I don't think I've ever used an ampersand as many times as I have in that paragraph. Anyhow, I got some level 3 demi hair tint & went dark.  I thought that because it was demi, it wasn't as much of a commitment.   Months went by and it didn't matter how many  washes, this color didn't want to budge.  I figured it was no big deal, it should be easy for a hair dresser to fix for me....

Do you remember 1999?  I'm sure a lot of you don't, but hang on, I have a point.  When I think of 1999, I think of this Esprit backpack that my late Uncle bought me.  It was a grey, wooly bag that, on first glance, was your normal run of the mill messenger bag.  However, to keep it from the mundane, it had chunky pockets on the outside and thick straps that tucked away on the interior that could be used to convert it to a cross body satchel.   an example of 1999 fashion goals This bag allowed me to slowly dip my feet into a more mature fashion, but also allowed a safe alternative.  Fashion was leaning toward the Yohji Yamamoto Y2k aesthetic.  Fashion was becoming utilitarian & useful, yet excessive.   The popular fashion at the time was inspired by the idea that we were heading into a brave new frontier, yet it was also the future.  I mean, we'd all seen Blade Runner and Tron (the original), the 21st century had to be s...
