grey is my favourite colour, i felt so symbolic yesterday, if I knew Picasso I would buy myself a grey guitar and play

Grey hair, don't care! Is that what the kids are saying these days? I've been seeing more pictures of young chicks with grey hair lately. I was thinking about how most older people would be baffled by this; so many middle aged women dye their hair religiously to hide natural grey hair. Even my grandma still dyes her hair sometimes even though it's basically all white. I love dying my hair, and it isn't a chore, but I think it can become one for some women. I know because my mom complains about it enough. I kept saving pictures that I was going to send to her; she dyes her hair just about every month to cover her greys. I made a collage, inspired by a few girls I know. Also the celebs are into this trend, including Kelly Osbourne, Marina Diamandis, and Pink. I loved when Tavi Gevinson had grey hair because she was so little then and I think I remember reading that people were like, "is she fifteen or fifty?" It's also been a runway trend, seen on models for Gareth Pugh, Chanel, and Jean Paul Gaultier shows.


It's kind of ironic because grey hair is a sign of aging and it's obvious that these ladies are NOT old.

If I had grey hair, I would wear lots of pastel and brightly coloured clips and it would be super cute if I had this headband:

in starlit nights I saw you, so cruelly you kissed me, your lips a magic world, your sky all hung with jewels

I know it's November 2nd, but I've never been on time for anything in my life.









Ideas for next year/some of my favourite classics: the tooth fairy, a fortune teller, Carrie, Minnie Mouse, a sugar skull, a unicorn, the solar system, Mary Poppins, a mannequin, a nun, David Bowie, Cruella DeVille, Frida Kahlo, an alien, Wednesday Addams, any character from the Rocky Horror Picture Show, Lydia Deetz, Beetlejuice, Miss Argentina, and one that my sisters friend did, and I thought it was absolutely brilliant; a deviled egg. For three girls you could be the witches from Hocus Pocus; two girls could be Jane and Daria. For couples; Mario and Princess Peach, ghost and a ghostbuster, little red riding hood and the big bad wolf.
