Thee Mighty Peculia 🍄@alice When I was a kid, it was pretty common for older women to have blue or purple or pale pink hair. I’m not talking about outsiders or feminists, but the kind of women who went to the beauty parlor every week and wore white gloves to church. I knew even then that I’d do that with my own hair someday. For them to call it weird is just another of their lies. Never let anyone tell you what you should look like.

@lydialurch @alice Even now in Poland I can see elder women with pale pink/purple hair. It's very diluted, almost gray hue.

Andrew Zonenberg@lydialurch @alice my understanding is that in that time frame people who naturally had yellowed gray hair would try to hide the yellow and create a more neutral silver color by adding a slight blue tint, but would often go overboard by mistake and end up more blue than gray
@azonenberg @lydialurch I just like to think that little old ladies were more punk than we give them credit for 😋🤘
acb@lydialurch @alice Blue hair used to be a bourgeois-old-lady stereotype; in Australia at least, they referred to such people as the “blue-rinse set”
