with lavenderish or bluish hair because they'd used a rinse that was supposed to keep white hair from taking on a yellowish tinge - hence the term old lady rinse. But it wasn't quite as distinctly purple as this.

I saw a clip of Trump today and his hair was so square and high it looked like a stove pipe hat without a brim.

And in this case I am hair-shaming. I think as he gets more and more bald he has to go to greater efforts to construct a complex edifice of hair that covers the bald spot, which at this point is probably most of the top of his head. So he piles it up and swirls it around and probably secures it with something like epoxy or spar varnish to keep it from tumbling down and revealing the dreaded shiny pate. Unfortunately sometimes this causes the entire assembly to appear to have square corners.

It's just hair. Or lack thereof. I've had husbands and boyfriends who were bald. If what was on top of their head was important to me, then I'd be a very shallow person.

Donna Brazile's hair looks awesome. I joked with my daughter-in-law that when I finish my current hair project (I'm one year into my two-year experiment to see how long it will grow.) I'm going to cut it very short and dye it wild colors. Because why not.

As for -45's "hair", yes, I will hair shame him without feeling one bit bad. It's warranted.

as a studmuffin chick magnet. Only someone as vain and deluded as he is would go to those lengths to disguise a bald spot (he also dyes it a sort of urine-yellow); there's nothing terrible about baldness (unless you think you're really, really hot). And the orange skin isn't exactly lust-inducing, either.

Yeah, when I get to my wild color phase, that won't be a color I'll choose. I'll probably be sensible about it. I mean, it was fun to embarrass my kids when they were young teens. Now that they're in positions to take me places, I don't think I should ruin that.

-45 once said that his father said to him, "don't ever lose your hair". How sad that a grown-ass man, even one as revolting as -45, is still trying to please his long-dead father. His hair color and the artificial tone of his skin are capped off by the ridiculously ugly expressions on his face. I'd excuse it all if it weren't for the word-vomit that comes out of his mouth.

Instead of looking at himself and seeing all types of flaws that no one else sees or notices, he sees all this beauty and hotness that no one else sees.

He has to. He's ridiculous looking.

and I wasn't aware she'd gone purple. It's a rather unusual color so I was wondering whether my TV was off or maybe the lighting was doing it. I don't care one way or another what color her hair is.

Tweety's hair is white, white, white and has been for a while. I actually thought it looked better with a slight color in it.

My sainted Granny was the archetypical blue haired lady. (Of course, her hair was both beautiful and her pride.) I learned early on that the Army is really run by blue haired ladies in tennis shoes.

We ought not make fun of blue haired ladies!
