@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 Blue hair used to be a bourgeois-old-lady stereotype; in Australia at least, they referred to such people as the β€œblue-rinse set”
