I too did the Kool-Aid thing, but I have another story to go with it...
I was about 13, and was in that beginning of the rebellious stage, when grunge was IN! I took a small 2x2 section of my "wheat field in the sun" colored blond hair, and applied the moistened KoolAid to that section alone. Of course, while my mom wasn't home. I left it in for like 1/2 an hour, and then rinsed. It was BRIGHT. So, then I decide to go to a friend's, in my gray flannel and baggy jeans (yes, it WAS grunge time!), and stayed there until after dark. Well, I walked home, but it started raining on the way, so I got to the front door, and my mom was SCREECHING, are you ok? What in the H*LL happened to you? OMG!
She thought I was bleeding! Little did I know that the koolaid had run down my face and neck, onto the shoulder of my shirt, and onto the knee of my jeans and spread even further with the rain.
And, on top of it all, that pink streak stayed with me until COLLEGE. It did fade, but I had to grow the hair all of the way out before it was completely gone. |
