I DID IT!

I did it. Yes, I had purple streaks put into my hair when I visited my hairdresser earlier today.

Strictly speaking, they're not purple streaks, they are violet streaks. I have a few streaks at the back of my hair and on one side of my hair. It only cost me £30 (about $35). And of course I gave Giampiero, my Italian hairdresser, a ten per cent tip.

During my haircut, Giampiero and I bored each other silly as we talked about our respective football teams, Inter Milan and Leeds United.

I'm a little disappointed as the violet streaks don't stand out enough. Next time, I'll have more streaks put in.

I'm still in shock, not by my streaks but how fast my hair is greying!

    I Love it and yes it does look more violet but I think it blends in nicely with your grey hair. Kind of has a bluish tinge to it. Nice to see that full head of hair you have. My man is my age and is almost bald now.. Your hair looks so soft and would really have fun running my fingers through it.. Well done. Looks awesome..

      Next time, I'll have more streaks put in. At least I now what to expect. Apart from a henna dye, it's the first time I've dyed my hair.

      Kudos to you for trying something different.Here is to the next time you do it again. The smell of the dyes can be a bit overpowering indeed..

      I quite enjoyed the smell of the dye.

    Yes, that is quite subtle - which is good for a first try! You'll have to get more wild next time ;)

      It's a bit too subtle. The hairdresser kept saying as he applied the streaks in foil that he can always add more later. But by the time I saw the effect, it was too late. Next time, I'll go much wilder!
      PS. I'm still getting off on the smell of the hair dye!

    It is quite subtle, lavender or violet. But I love it! And look at all that hair.

    You’re talking to a woman with a full head of white hair, it is a struggle to see yourself like that, isn’t it?

      It is a struggle. And the last photo of me, I just see my Mum!
      Baldness was never an issue in my family.

      I'm always surprised by how much grey hair is on the back of my head, since of course I never look there! I have totally white streaks in the front and I've gotten used to those, but am denial about being full salt and pepper behind my streaks.

      It could be said that my multicolored hair is probably a symptom of denial. But, I’d argue it’s more a feature of my colorful personality. 😂

      There's nothing wrong with denial when it comes to hair!

    It looks quite nice for a first try. Now that you have an idea of how it'll turn out, you can get bolder the next time around 😁

    I used a blue dye on my hair once, hoping it'll turn the grey hair into blue highlights. Didn't quite work as I hoped. I'm sticking with an ash brown hair dye for now (yes, I color my own hair).

I AM YET ANOTHER AFF EXILE HERE

Image
This is my first blog post on this blogging platform. I am an exile who under the alias of spunkycumfun recently got banned from the Adult FriendFinder (AFF). I was banned along with with three other members of the awkward squad, JN63JPN, EnigmaInitiative and author51. Perhaps the new Gang of Four! I prefer the post-punk band's Gang of Four reference than the Maoist reference that led to the many deaths during China's so-called Cultural Revolution, but the latter led to the former! The Maoist Gang of Four were the purgers and not the purged, so I'm going up the wrong road here. I'm now reversing! Probably everyone knows why I and others were banned from AFF, so I'll spare you the depressing detail. I realise that only a very few will probably read this post and I realise that only those who know me from AFF will read this post. So there's not much point introducing myself further as I'm probably talking to those who already know me from AFF. All I can say

DEAR JON

Here a 'Dear John' letter is a letter sent by one person to finish a relationship with another person. Obviously in the digital age, emails have largely replaced letters. In this case I didn't actually dump Jon, he dumped me. But why stop the facts get in the way of a good metaphor. I will enjoy writing this letter to Jon! Below is my letter to Jon Buckheit, FriendFinder Networks' chief executive officer. It's by being a paying gold member for many years of Adult FriendFinder (AFF), one of the many FriendFinder Networks' sites, through which I unfortunately got to know about Jon. __________________________________________________________________________ Dear Jon I know you'll read this letter even though I've not posted it to you - stamps are now very expensive here in Britain, and even though I've not emailed it to you - emails are just so dehumanising, don't you think? You've let it be known that you're following the people you've r

IS ADULT FRIENDFINDER IN ITS DEATH THROES?

Image
Aerikvon's Death Throes by AerikVon : Having returned to Adult FriendFinder (AFF), part of FriendFinder Networks, about three weeks ago after my ban, I'm starting to believe that the site is now in its death throes. Though the blogs I follow cannot be regarded as representative of blogland, my list of followed blogs cover a lot of bloggers who actually blog as opposed to posting photos of porn without text or posting hook-me-ups. Before my ban, my guess is that I would have received on average about a hundred alerts each day. Given I haven't submitted a blog post since my return and my blog posts, which would have perhaps attracted on average about 25 comments, and given I don't submit too many comments nowadays, I should now expect about 50 alerts per day. But the number of alerts I receive are no more than about 20 each day. That is a significant decrease in the number of alerts I'm now receiving from what I used to receive. My observation is that bloggers (at lea
