My birthday is next week (on March 17th) and I decided what I want is to be blonde again. It's as much a business decision as a personal one; I know I said I finally made up my mind and would stay brunette FOREVER, but in these trying times, BRIGHT and SHINY are better. Now that I have more energy and my hormones are headed back towards the right track I can't help wanting to be blonde again, too.

If any blonde-lovers want to gift me for my birthday and chip in towards my hair makeover, here you go:



If I get MORE than $200 WHOEVER CONTRIBUTES THE MOST MONEY WILL GET AN AUTOGRAPHED COPY OF THE BI APPLE -OR- BEST SEX WRITING 2008 -OR- BEST WOMEN'S EROTICA 2009 (eep! I still need to blog about that) and if I get MORE than $300 EACH CONTRIBUTOR WILL BE ENTERED ONCE INTO A DRAWING FOR A SECOND GIVEAWAY.

Don't worry -- I will email you first to find out a) which one you want (if you want one at all), and b) where/how you want it shipped. If there's a tie for the highest contributor there won't be one (I'll give people an opportunity for a tie-breaker in that case) UNLESS the tied amounts are substantial (over $150) in which case the people tied for highest contributor will each get a prize. People can contribute more than once, and each contribution will count towards a cumulative total for that individual.

I usually spend between $120 and $150 each time I get my hair colored and cut; it's not worth pinching pennies or trying to do it myself, I've learned. The more money I have stashed away for hair, the more frequently I can get it done (instead of ceasing shooting for weeks because my roots are showing, etc.). This time around, as long as my colorist promises my hair won't all fall out, I won't do the blonde halfway, either. I will err on the side of too light before I cautiously err on the side of too dark.

NOTE: NO PRESSURE HERE -- I don't *expect* people to lavish me with money and goodies, I'm just giving those who WANT to the opportunity and the knowledge that it would help a lot. And if you want to send something but don't want it to be about my hair, here's my Amazon wishlist or my shipping address if you have something else in mind (yes, I love inexpensive things like cards, bookmarks, used books, music mixes, socks, etc.):

I thought about making it a competition between brunette, redhead and blonde, but I really think blonde is the right decision for now. I'm looking forward to it, especially after this unusually long, cold winter.
