Rainbow tuesday gets hairy

I've spent much of my free time of late making synthetic dreadlocks in a variety of rainbow hues.
Most of my free time is spent on public transport.
Which means I spent 2 1/2 hours drunk on 3 ciders on a train backcombing like a bat out of hell. Or something that backcombs. I don't know what.
I get a lot of funny looks from strangers. Also, on this occassion, I got an invite to an improvised opera, so maybe that funny look paid off.
Still. In celebration of how huge and colourful I am now able to make my normal, blonde, respectable dreadlocked barnet for fancy dress and photoshoots, (photographic proof to come) here's a fluffy rainbow tuesday.

Altogether now... *wistful sigh at the pretties* 




I really miss my (massively heavy, impossible to wash) rainbow coloured woollen dred extentions.
They looked like this.





 Unfortunately, after 4 months of wearing them, they smelt like this:


This did not mean this happened:

And so they had to go.
I satisfy my crazy hair urges by keeping my pubes a bright shade of poppy red.

But these are the things I've been looking at recently when not giving myself synthetic hair friction burns (when I backcomb, I do the job proper). And it's giving me ideas.....




Mmmmmm..... tatty bits of wool in peoples hair.... it talks to me.....
