It really strips out the colour. And a lot of the moisture so you will have to deep condition afterwards but I have used this solution at least four times (i tend not to learn from my mistakes) with great results but I also have pretty thick, coarse hair.

I'm surrounded by rubes.

I tried that, turns out I have some pretty depressing taste in music. I can't bring myself to name her, John Wayne Gacy Jr. Will have to give that some more thought...

I had a Cocker named Scout! So Harper seemed like a natural progression.

Why are so many female literary figures so depressing?! Sylvia? Havisham? I love Flannery O'Connor and considered that but Flannery is quite a mouthful when you're trying to get someone to stop peeing on your carpet. Fast.

Blixen is cool. I'll have to check out Karen Blixen.

I think I'm just trying too hard to come up with the perfect name that makes the heavens open up and the angels sing. You know, like North West.

Not ironic. Mon, 24 Mar 2014 18:44:26 +0000 http://crasstalk.com/2014/03/monday-open-thread-117/#IDComment809566072 http://crasstalk.com/2014/03/monday-open-thread-117/#IDComment809562576 HALP! I recently adopted a female Cocker Spaniel. Liver and White. I need unique, urbane and possible literary name ideas. Right now I'm learning towards Timbre or Harper. But both feel kind of meh. I feel there is probably a better name out there for her that I'm not quite clever enough to come up with so I come humbly to the hivemind...

Southern US resident by choice - I'm actually in Snarky's backyard! Hai! I worship of the altar that is Mitch McConnell - ok - no - bleeding-heart liberal. Down Fonze on the cilantro. More of a Miracle Whip girl than a mayo afficianado but would pass on either. Definitely team dog! In fact just rescued an emaciated female breeder cocker spaniel; Timbre. We are both on Atkins - me for the losing, her for gaining but it's nice to share a steak and candlelight with another sentient being. :) Wed, 19 Mar 2014 19:41:37 +0000 http://crasstalk.com/2014/03/wednesday-open-thread-107/#IDComment807597880
