October 16

My hair is orange. I look like a pumpkin.

I have a session on Tuesday to get new headshots done, so I figured it was time to update my hair. It was looking a LITTLE 1994. Yeesh. So I went in to a salon here in Halifax, brought my smashing old headshots (the ones I get all the compliments on because the colour is so fantastic) and said, "Make me look like... THIS."

The hairdresser paused.

"Wow. You look a LOT like that girl. This shouldn't be hard."

I paused.

"I hope not... it's me. In the photo." I held it up next to my face and pointed. "Me."

Pause.

"Ohhh..... OH!!! Oh. Okay. Okay! Okay! Let's go!"

Well, it's orange. Not "red", or "auburn", or "cinnamon" or whatever they call it on the hair colour boxes. It's ORANGE. Bright orange. So if you know a casting director who's looking for a live pumpkin, or maybe someone who looks like they're currently on fire, please send them in my direction. I'm looking forward to all the work I'm going to get as a stunt double for carrots.
