The deed has been done, and I've got the pictures (and video) to prove it. Yep. The salon was all out of hot pink, so I decided to go with a more patriotic theme. My skin is white, so I went with blue sides (and bottom) and red tips. You can't tell it's blue in the Webcam right now, but… trust me. I was completely blonde a few hours ago. Briefly. We'll see how long the producers allow me to have this 'do. If you like what you see, leave a “thumbs up” after the beep. You might also blast a message to callforhelp (at) techtv.com. They're more inclined to listen to viewers than they are me. Hooray for the red, albino white, and blue. UPDATE: Check out the video (actively seeking mirrors).

Dude, cool hair, was going to suggest the patriotic theme but couldn't post it (page error). You look so techno-savy with the colors, like going from black and white to HDTV

This is probably gonna start something. Before you know it, all huge geeks will be walking around with flags dyed into their hair. (Canadians will just have red and white, of course… maybe stick a maple leaf behind their ear or something).

Ha! Excellent, dude, excellent. Now you've got to shave your head when you don't want it that color anymore… it's a must. Oh, and nice work on the video. “Putting on the Ritz” goes very well with it.

Looks interesting; from your post on Leoville, I gather TPTB already are having a bird about it. Most excellent, though. But getting rid of it will be an interesting task.
Good luck.
