Here are the choices: blonde, red, or black. No other colors please! But you can recommend versions of those colors. This is the final round! Whatever wins I will do for all summer. Fo' serious.

Also please tell me how to cut my hair.

― Ally (mlescaut), Friday, 16 May 2003 17:24 (twenty-two years ago)

With scissors, yo.

― Sean Carruthers (SeanC), Friday, 16 May 2003 17:29 (twenty-two years ago)

I like the black. The red photo don't open.

― hstencil, Friday, 16 May 2003 17:29 (twenty-two years ago)

I fixed the link for that one.

― Sean Carruthers (SeanC), Friday, 16 May 2003 17:30 (twenty-two years ago)

I say shave it off. Shave it off and wear more leather.

― Kenan Hebert (kenan), Friday, 16 May 2003 17:30 (twenty-two years ago)

I can't pick between blonde and red.

― luna (luna.c), Friday, 16 May 2003 17:31 (twenty-two years ago)

One more reason why Crudders rulez.

Okay, given that I can see all choices, I still say black.

― hstencil, Friday, 16 May 2003 17:31 (twenty-two years ago)

(BTW I gave the smartass answer up above instead of picking a colour mostly because I think they all look great)

― Sean Carruthers (SeanC), Friday, 16 May 2003 17:35 (twenty-two years ago)

Henna red is no good. I recommend the hair cut from the blonde picture dyed black.

Or you could dye your hair black, red and blonde, and speak with a thick German accent.

― Frühlingsmute (Wintermute), Friday, 16 May 2003 17:35 (twenty-two years ago)

Ok I lied, red.

― luna (luna.c), Friday, 16 May 2003 17:37 (twenty-two years ago)

black is hott
for something summer
maybe die the ends
blonde?

― Mary (Mary), Friday, 16 May 2003 17:38 (twenty-two years ago)

I knew this was an Ally thread. I'm not a huge blond fan. Black is classic but shades of red area also awesome.

― That Girl (thatgirl), Friday, 16 May 2003 17:40 (twenty-two years ago)

Paisley yo.

― nickalicious (nickalicious), Friday, 16 May 2003 17:42 (twenty-two years ago)

Barring the shaved leather look, why not go for the short black lether look? The Trinity look!

― Kenan Hebert (kenan), Friday, 16 May 2003 17:42 (twenty-two years ago)

THE MODERATORS HAVE MY IMAGE DIRECTORY MEMORIZED!

I was thinking of cutting my hair short again, this is me with short, darker hair. My hair now is too long and I just pin it up all the time like a schoolmarm.

― Ally (mlescaut), Friday, 16 May 2003 17:49 (twenty-two years ago)

Short dark hair's the way to go.

― Yanc3y (ystrickler), Friday, 16 May 2003 17:52 (twenty-two years ago)

Oh yeah, I like that best.

― luna (luna.c), Friday, 16 May 2003 17:54 (twenty-two years ago)

In that short hair pic, you look exactly like this evil evil devil-girl named Kim I made the mistake of totally falling for in college who treated me like utter horsepucky and toyed with my emotions like I didn't know emotions could be toyed with.

― nickalicious (nickalicious), Friday, 16 May 2003 17:54 (twenty-two years ago)

Well, that kills this thread.

― Ally (mlescaut), Friday, 16 May 2003 17:55 (twenty-two years ago)

(Nick's story is code for "black".)

― Dan Perry (Dan Perry), Friday, 16 May 2003 17:56 (twenty-two years ago)

What about a darker red?

― rosemary (rosemary), Friday, 16 May 2003 17:58 (twenty-two years ago)

I'm sorry, I still love you Kim...er, Ally. Sorry.

I still say you need to paisley up your hair. Like George Clinton, only paisley.

― nickalicious (nickalicious), Friday, 16 May 2003 18:00 (twenty-two years ago)

shorter hair and a darker red gets my vote

― H (Heruy), Friday, 16 May 2003 18:04 (twenty-two years ago)

Black, with sensible bob. Or perhaps the Samantha-from-Bewitched upcurl at the end.

― jm (jtm), Friday, 16 May 2003 18:06 (twenty-two years ago)

red with blocks of black. or black with blocks of red.

― gareth (gareth), Friday, 16 May 2003 18:07 (twenty-two years ago)

i have four grey hairs

― Yanc3y (ystrickler), Friday, 16 May 2003 18:08 (twenty-two years ago)

red with blocks of black. or black with blocks of red.

That's what I was going to say!

― Nicole (Nicole), Friday, 16 May 2003 18:09 (twenty-two years ago)

You want her to look like a checker board?

― luna (luna.c), Friday, 16 May 2003 18:10 (twenty-two years ago)

black

― jel -- (jel), Friday, 16 May 2003 18:10 (twenty-two years ago)

I just like streaky hair. I was considering putting a blonde streak in my hair but then realized it would look too ginger spice.

― Nicole (Nicole), Friday, 16 May 2003 18:13 (twenty-two years ago)

shorter hair, red or black. maybe black, actually...

― JuliaA (j_bdules), Friday, 16 May 2003 18:14 (twenty-two years ago)

this is me with short, darker hair.

Is that you in the morning? Awww... so so cute. Your hair looks great like that.

― Kenan Hebert (kenan), Friday, 16 May 2003 18:16 (twenty-two years ago)

Seriously though, I think some combination of the very dark of the black and the "yowzah!"-factor of the red would be very complimentary and ROWR.

― nickalicious (nickalicious), Friday, 16 May 2003 18:17 (twenty-two years ago)

(although you could be like totally shaven-headed or have hippie-delic white-people dreads and still be ROWR, but you know this)

― nickalicious (nickalicious), Friday, 16 May 2003 18:23 (twenty-two years ago)

short & red gets my vote!

― Aaron W (Aaron W), Friday, 16 May 2003 18:24 (twenty-two years ago)

I say short and darker red.. darker than the red you have here.. like an auburny.

― Mandee, Friday, 16 May 2003 18:27 (twenty-two years ago)

I was considering putting a blonde streak in my hair but then realized it would look too ginger spice.

It is never too early for the mid-nineties revival.

I vote red or black, choose on the day.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Friday, 16 May 2003 18:43 (twenty-two years ago)

go with the short, darker hair.
it makes sense for the summer.

― kephm, Friday, 16 May 2003 18:51 (twenty-two years ago)

It is never too early for the mid-nineties revival

Now you sound like Geir.

― Nicole (Nicole), Friday, 16 May 2003 18:59 (twenty-two years ago)

Ally's hair needs more melody hahahaha zzzzz

― Aaron W (Aaron W), Friday, 16 May 2003 19:09 (twenty-two years ago)

My brain is trying to tell me that's not that funny Aaron, yet I'm like almost in tears here!

― nickalicious (nickalicious), Friday, 16 May 2003 19:11 (twenty-two years ago)

I'm going to sixteenth all the votes for short and some-kind-of-dark.

― jaymc (jaymc), Friday, 16 May 2003 19:16 (twenty-two years ago)

(but then I would)

― jaymc (jaymc), Friday, 16 May 2003 19:16 (twenty-two years ago)

Now you sound like Geir

Don't be ridiculous. I said nothing about Dodgy.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Friday, 16 May 2003 19:19 (twenty-two years ago)

Leave NeoNed alone, Nicole. He has scary powers in the Matrix.

― Dan Perry (Dan Perry), Friday, 16 May 2003 19:26 (twenty-two years ago)

Sure do!

"Whoa! Looka me! I'm flying! Whoa!"

*cartwheels a la the Puma Man, crashes and is instantly destroyed by all the humans, aliens, robots...*

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Friday, 16 May 2003 19:31 (twenty-two years ago)

Well, that negates Ned's vote, sorted. Next!

― Ally (mlescaut), Friday, 16 May 2003 19:33 (twenty-two years ago)

corn rows!

― john derek (lawrence kansas), Friday, 16 May 2003 19:35 (twenty-two years ago)

Why is TrinAlly mad at me?

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Friday, 16 May 2003 19:37 (twenty-two years ago)

You look like Tina Fey. I vote for one half pepper, one half salt.

That's sort of the color it turned midway thru last month's hair dye experiment, actually. It looked terrible.

― Allyzay, Tuesday, 4 November 2003 16:19 (twenty-two years ago)

by the way, i like black the best.

― phil-two (phil-two), Tuesday, 4 November 2003 16:23 (twenty-two years ago)

like wesley snipes' famous quote in Passenger-57... "Always bet on black!"

― phil-two (phil-two), Tuesday, 4 November 2003 16:23 (twenty-two years ago)

Aw, that's a shame. I'm all for odd hair colors that are still somewhat respectable (ie, deep red/maroon, jet black with blue or purple undertones, platinum blonde/white, unattainable-in-real-life brown, etc).

― Dan Perry (Dan Perry), Tuesday, 4 November 2003 16:26 (twenty-two years ago)

I mean, since you'll NEVER dye your hair blue...

― Dan Perry (Dan Perry), Tuesday, 4 November 2003 16:26 (twenty-two years ago)

I have had blue hair!

― Allyzay, Tuesday, 4 November 2003 16:27 (twenty-two years ago)

PHOTOS.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Tuesday, 4 November 2003 16:31 (twenty-two years ago)

I could have sworn there was a thread where I suggested you dye your hair blue and you were all "NOT IN THIS LIFETIME, SAD NEGRO GOTH MAN."

― Dan Perry (Dan Perry), Tuesday, 4 November 2003 16:33 (twenty-two years ago)

No Dan, those are Underworld lyrics

― TOMBOT, Tuesday, 4 November 2003 16:38 (twenty-two years ago)

OLD MAN EINSTEIN ON TOP OF HIS HOUSE
WIDE DEEP BLUE
NOT IN THIS LIFETIME
SAD NEGRO GOTH MAN
RED CAR

― Dan Perry (Dan Perry), Tuesday, 4 November 2003 16:41 (twenty-two years ago)

I can hear the beats now.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Tuesday, 4 November 2003 16:47 (twenty-two years ago)

Dan, I never said that and I'm going to dye my hair blue January 1st just to spite you, you sad negro goth techno jerk.

― Allyzay, Tuesday, 4 November 2003 16:50 (twenty-two years ago)

"Hey, Stinkoman! Everyone tells me you're the Man, but I want to be the Man."

"Nah, you're just a kid!"

― Girolamo Savonarola, Tuesday, 4 November 2003 16:51 (twenty-two years ago)

Big fucking ups to Andrew and Minna--this is the best I've looked in about a year.

― Allyzay, Wednesday, 5 November 2003 00:06 (twenty-two years ago)

hurrah ally! where did you get it cut?

― teeny (teeny), Wednesday, 5 November 2003 00:08 (twenty-two years ago)

The place I used to go to but stopped going to. I don't really remember why I stopped, besides busyness stopping me from getting appointments when I needed to. It's up on 72nd and Columbus.

― Allyzay, Wednesday, 5 November 2003 00:15 (twenty-two years ago)

i was going to write something else but then i saw sad negro goth techno jerk (!!!) can we just lock the thread after she says jerk and close the whole board down?

― Dean Gulberry (deangulberry), Wednesday, 5 November 2003 00:18 (twenty-two years ago)

Yes! Yes we should! Delete ILX now!!!

― Allyzay, Wednesday, 5 November 2003 00:21 (twenty-two years ago)

the monkeys have written the bible.

― Dean Gulberry (deangulberry), Wednesday, 5 November 2003 00:22 (twenty-two years ago)

Ally, didn't think your hair needed cutting. But the shoulder length was cute on you, so....

(But then, I WOULD say that, having gone nearly-bald, in my time)

And I've just shackled the monkeys. So there....

― Nichole Graham (Nichole Graham), Wednesday, 5 November 2003 00:24 (twenty-two years ago)

Do not, repeat, do not combine this thread with the Carrot-top thread. Or Blueberry-top.

― Skottie, Wednesday, 5 November 2003 00:25 (twenty-two years ago)

I don't go to a hair place since I returned to my DIY ways, but my hairdresser of olde is awesome, his name is Gay Ray, and once we split a xanax before he cut my hair.

― teeny (teeny), Wednesday, 5 November 2003 00:26 (twenty-two years ago)

And how did that masterpiece turn out, T?

― Nichole Graham (Nichole Graham), Wednesday, 5 November 2003 00:27 (twenty-two years ago)

I don't care! That's the beauty part! all hairdressers should give you enough drugs to deal with any bad hair cut!

― teeny (teeny), Wednesday, 5 November 2003 00:28 (twenty-two years ago)

Do not, repeat, do not combine this thread with the Carrot-top thread

I wanted to post to this thread just to get it above the Carrot-top thread so I could post them to thread connections. Because I am sad. However, I resisted, so thank you for the timely warning.

― ailsa (ailsa), Wednesday, 5 November 2003 00:31 (twenty-two years ago)

three weeks pass...

Revive! When I leave my job I'm going to change my hair color! Pick one! Any color except green which is just gross.

― Allyzay, Wednesday, 26 November 2003 14:52 (twenty-two years ago)

Ahem!!

― Pinkpanther (Pinkpanther), Wednesday, 26 November 2003 15:16 (twenty-two years ago)

Pinkpanther is on the march against anti-greenists!

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Wednesday, 26 November 2003 15:51 (twenty-two years ago)

you should do superred, like miki from lush.

― teeny (teeny), Wednesday, 26 November 2003 15:55 (twenty-two years ago)

FUSCHIA!

― Dan Perry (Dan Perry), Wednesday, 26 November 2003 15:59 (twenty-two years ago)

fuschia clashes with everything though.

― teeny (teeny), Wednesday, 26 November 2003 16:00 (twenty-two years ago)

No it doesn't! I used to have fuschia hair! It looked fantastic with blues and purples and greens and things. (OK, I was doing a lot of acid at the time, but really. It did!)

― Citizen Kate (kate), Wednesday, 26 November 2003 16:03 (twenty-two years ago)

And even if it does, that's a bonus!

Also, if you live in NYC, chances are a good 50% of your wardrobe is black, which will just make your hair POP.

― Dan Perry (Dan Perry), Wednesday, 26 November 2003 16:05 (twenty-two years ago)

(The previous sentence was not meant to sound as Cronenbergy as it does.)

― Dan Perry (Dan Perry), Wednesday, 26 November 2003 16:06 (twenty-two years ago)

"50%"

― Alllyzay, Wednesday, 26 November 2003 16:06 (twenty-two years ago)

I used to use a combination of "Dark Tulip" and "Rose Red" manic panic, which gave a lovely fuscshia colour. In fact, my drivers lisecnce to this day shows me sporting pink streaks.

― Citizen Kate (kate), Wednesday, 26 November 2003 16:08 (twenty-two years ago)

I wish I could make fucschia work for me, but I never could manage it and if I tried it now I would just look ridiculous.

― El Diablo Robotico (Nicole), Wednesday, 26 November 2003 16:11 (twenty-two years ago)

(I was going by the general public, Ally. Not everyone can be like us.)

(Except of course I am the former goth with too many pairs of green pants, but let's not get into that here.)

― Dan Perry (Dan Perry), Wednesday, 26 November 2003 16:12 (twenty-two years ago)

Are you a goth leprechaun?

― Allyzay, Wednesday, 26 November 2003 16:15 (twenty-two years ago)

But of course, it explains the Kathy Ireland love.

― El Diablo Robotico (Nicole), Wednesday, 26 November 2003 16:16 (twenty-two years ago)

I think that is the worst joke I ever made, and that's saying a lot.

― El Diablo Robotico (Nicole), Wednesday, 26 November 2003 16:16 (twenty-two years ago)

I think Black 47 are vastly underrated.

― Andrew Farrell (afarrell), Wednesday, 26 November 2003 16:21 (twenty-two years ago)

BLACK 47 ARGH. Sorry.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Wednesday, 26 November 2003 16:43 (twenty-two years ago)

I was just helping nicole by relegating her joke to second worst on the thread.

― Andrew Farrell (afarrell), Wednesday, 26 November 2003 16:45 (twenty-two years ago)

Dangerous game, this. Remember Barry Lasagne!

― Tim (Tim), Wednesday, 26 November 2003 17:13 (twenty-two years ago)

three months pass...

After fighting everyone for however long its been now, short and black is about to win in 5 4 3 2 1... (actually in two hours). Thank you all for your participation in this social experiment, "How much damage will Ally inflict on her hair before she decides to go with the original majority rule?"

― Allyzay, Friday, 27 February 2004 19:48 (twenty-two years ago)

That sounds like it would look cute on you, hope it turns out well.

― El Diablo Robotico (Nicole), Friday, 27 February 2004 19:57 (twenty-two years ago)

I've always wanted to do short black hair but I would end up looking like Dave Foley as Hecubus.

― El Diablo Robotico (Nicole), Friday, 27 February 2004 20:00 (twenty-two years ago)

NO! Go with macaroni yellow!

― Curt1s St3ph3ns, Saturday, 28 February 2004 00:23 (twenty-two years ago)

haha I've done that before, trust me it's not good.
