belated/Part 1

Hello! Here I am! 6 days later with a post for you all! Once again, apologies for not updating but after what happened last week, I really just wasn't in the mood for writing about anything! I'm going to talk about my birthday weekend and all the stuff in between that i've missed! So let's start!

For my birthday, I wasn't at work because my boyfriend said he had planned something for me so I asked my new job if I could have it off (as I was supposed to work it and I thought it would be okay, but apparently not)...I felt so bad! That was like my second ever shift and I was already playing around! But luckily it was okay! Everyone even said that birthdays should be a complusory day off haha. I spent the day by myself at home, which sucked a bit as that's what i've been doing for the past month or so since not being at the Hospital and when i'm on a day off from Cyberdog but I made good use of my time and re-tidied my bedroom and also my wardrobe! I say re-tidied because I end up having to tidy it every single week, mainly every single day, it's stupid! But then again, it's my own fault for making it so messy.

I'm so happy that I can see into my wardrobe now though lol! But I need to tidy my room tonight/tomorrow as I have to step over things to get to something....i'm sure you guys know the feeling right? So besides that, I also ordered pizza...not exactly exciting! But hey, Domino's pizza is awesome! My boyfriend came to my house just after my pizza did. He was so sweet! He got me the biggest bunch of flowers i've ever seen in my life! I haven't taken a photo yet because some of the flowers are still opening. They're still like, perfectly fresh! It's awesome! He likes to get people funny cards for occasions, so my birthday card was no exception...lol!

In the evening, he was planning on taking me to Jamie Oliver's Italian restaurant in Kingston, and apparently you can't book if it's not for a group, just turn up, but they didn't have any insight to what the food was like on the website, and tbh, i'm not the biggest fan of Italian food, like it wouldn't be my first choice, so we went for Mexican food at an awesome Mexican restaurant near to me! It's so DELICIOUS omg I want some now! Here are the details in case anyone decides to go at some point!

We went back to my house afterwards to watch the Fuji TV special on Finland Gals! I was so nervous to see everyone and myself too! And then there I was! I really need to stop smiling and laughing so much on Television! It looks like I have the biggest mouth ever lol! I don't look like that in real life at all! Koi-chan hasn't released all the photos yet and I haven't seen egg January to know whether any photos are in there yet, so bear with me!

I'm still waiting on the DVD to be sent to me and then I can see a clearer version of the programme! The quality from streaming it was awful (but to be expected) and kept lagging so the audio kept going but the video got stuck somewhere 2 minutes behind it! Here are some screenshots of me~

Who IS that girl??

They did a comparison of me from the last Fuji TV I was in to now

This was my (weird laggy) face saying "Before I was really ugly, but now im really pretty!" and then I had a LOVELY huge laugh...wth is wrong with me lol! I look nothing like this screencap in real life..wth

Yuma was really sweet, writing on her blog that I am a beatiful Gal now and that she was so happy for the purikura! I'm so pleased!^^

The next day I had the Para Para performance to do...and it was awful. The woman that organised it is really bad, and kind of unprofessional too. She didn't give me any information about where to go, who to talk to and didn't leave me a phone number in case I needed to contact her, so I was running late and got to the venue and had to talk to every single person I came across, and eventually I found her, right at the back of the place. She was surprised that it was just me doing the performance but was still happy that I had turned up! I kind of had to, there was no way I could have contacted her to say I wasn't coming! She doesn't even respond to my emails, yet she asks me to respond to hers by the end of the day that I got it! wth.

But yeah, after my slot was a guy who was talking about the voice-overs they do for Dragon Ball Z and the whole 10; maybe even less than that, 7?; people who actually watched me were actually waiting for this guy instead. The woman who organised it did a "tea ceremony" (it wasn't one) before my slot and there were a few, like 10, people watching her and they all cleared off when it was my turn! I tell you, it was such a waste of time! So I did one techpara and one parapara routine and then came off stage, much to the dislike of the guys with the microphones, but I wasn't just going to stand there in my tiny shorts and try and interest people who didn't want to even see me perform!

Afterwards I went to see if I could meet the classy Mercedes McNab, aka Harmony from Buffy! HOWEVER she wasn't there. She was "sick" so I completely missed her! I did, however, bump into the manager for the celebrities there, Sean, and he was awesome! He was walking around with Miko Hughes, who was a successful child actor in Wes Craven's New Nightmare, Apollo 13, Pet Semetary and other films. He was so cute! (obviously didn't say to his face though lol, would have been creepy of me!) They invited me to a gathering at their hotel in the evening and I really really wanted to go, but didn't in the end. Yeah I know, things like that CAN be dodgy, but I wouldn't have let anyone try anything! ;D I ended up going to the Fighting Cocks with my friend Jess and her boyfriend Steve, got really drunk and threw up when I came home. Lovely! Here's what I looked like pre-drinking:

Monica's tips are really helping me! My hair stayed the entire night! :D

Overall I had a good time though! And work has been enjoyable too. I haven't started posting co-ords just yet as I haven't got enough clothes to rotate into a nice selection for you guys, so at the moment, i'm just really wearing a lot of stuff more than once. It's hard!! Anyway, i'll be back with part 2 soon!

OO I meant to say. I've had a lot of friend requests on Facebook recently from people I have a lot of mutual friends with, say like 30 or so mutual friends, but I don't accept people I don't really know, or those with the same friends as me, purely because my Facebook is personal and it's really for my friends and family! I'm not saying that i'm just trying to be bitchy and like "well I have ALLLLL these friend requests but i'm just going to reject them all!" and trying to make out that im popular lol, in my dreams! I want to thank you all for reading my blog, and if some of you have tried to add me on Facebook and I haven't accepted, i'm sorry! I am thinking about maybe setting up a more open Facebook, or maybe just accepting a few requests at a time so I can get to know people! Please don't let this put you off me or my fantastically weird blog!

FINLAND: Part 3

Suuunday~! Unfortunately this was my last proper day in Helsinki! I really wish I could have stayed til the Monday! Technically I could have done since all the shit happened with my job, but at the time of booking I was still "allowed" there so :( FAIL! Anyways, after packing and checking out, I went back to Monica and Ingvild's hotel to do my hair and make-up. Lol I arrived at 11:30 and we didn't leave til 15:00! Monica did my hair again and gave me a whole lesson, and proclaimed us hair twins! <3

At Monica & Ingvild's hotel

Outfit and hair for the day

We met Keikk again and went back to Gloria after eating in MacDonalds (3rd time lol!) for the Shibuya Heat Wave gig. The doors were supposed to open at 4, but we ended up shivering and getting rained on until nearly 5pm! suuucks. I really thought I was going to miss the concert as my flight was at 21:15 and I had to leave by 18:30 the latest to go back to my hotel to pick up my suitcase and go to the airport! However, the doors finally opened and I did see the gig lol. Although it was an enjoyable experience, I have to say I wasn't as impressed as I thought I was going to be and I felt let down as the girls just mimed to their songs! A couple of times, the guy doing the mixing would turn their mics up and I think they were least expecting it and they kind of "sang" over the music, but apart from those moment, the rest was just miming :( They had remixed some songs together, so I think they only played like 2 or maybe 3 of their songs in full. I don't think they had a proper, full sound check or run through as a bit in one song came up and Aina was supposed to open her mouth and didn't so the track played her voice but she didn't actually move her lips...eek!

They played "Agepoyo" with the girls singing the whole song (as I doubt Crown Records would pay for all the 12+ (or however many it is) "Shibuya Gals" to fly to Finland just for one song. It was...kind of awful. Sorry, but Aina REALLY shouldn't give up her day job... They also played their new song "White Lover" which was an XMas son and I think the song they filmed their PV for in Finland. They asked if anyone had a birthday this month (ME!) and gave out postcards featuring the girls in different outfits and one or two of them on the beach on their recent New Caledonia trip, and also threw posters to girls who could catch! Ingvild wanted a poster so bad so she like nearly fought some girl and got it! ACE!!! :D

The postcard I got! Scanner gave it weird lines :z

At the end of it all, Yuma cried! When they cleared out the hall (REALLY promptly with some blonde woman like screaming at people to gtfo) all the foreign gals got whisked upstairs to meet the girls and take photos and do a big group interview for Fuji TV. The girls gave everyone hugs and Yuma came up to me and personally thanked me for the special puri I had given her and she looked like she was going to cry again! She's so sweeeeeet!!! I FORGOT how to talk at this point, and said "uh.....daijoubu desu/that's okay" when I SHOULD have said "douitashimashite/you're welcome" and Yuma just looked at me and said "...daijoubu desu?" and I said "uh..hai!" and I think she was like wtf lol but she still smiled and gave me a hug all the same lol! I said we were twins in our outfits and she was like YES! D.I.A.!!!! lol! Koi-chan took a photo of us hugging :p The TV crew asked us if there was anything we wanted to tell the girls and a few people inc. me said that we were so happy for them to come to Finland and that they are inspirations and role models etc and the girls were like "we're not role models!" but they are!! They know they are :D

They had to choose 3 girls to take a photo with for egg but apparently it was too difficult to decide so they picked like 6 people, me, Pin, Viivi, Rebecca and some other girls. I think they chose more girls as after I had my pic done, it was 18:30 (on the dot!) and I had to rush away and I saw more girls going in to take their picture. Yuma slammed the door so noone culd get in lol and people kept trying to open the door and she kept hitting it back! Koi-chan's camera kept going funny and Yuma said "what's up?!!!!!" LOL she's so funny. I was really worrying about how I was going to get a cab back to my hotel as there are no ranks and I had no number so I asked a guy in a convenience store if he knew where the nearest one was and he directed me, but I said "considering that this is my first ever time to Helsinki!" and he said "or I can just order you one :D" and he did! Omg so fucking kind! One of the nicest strangers i've ever met! Especially as I had huge mad hair and tiny shorts on! I gt my flight okay and on time and arrived at the hotel early as there was no traffic :D

The Fuji TV thing we were all given to fill out. Paul never took it so I still have it lol!

The answers were from Saturday, and I didn't know how to describe my look so I just said "rokku gal" lol!

I will definitely be going back to Helsinki! I had such an awesome weekend, it's unreal! My next trip will be to Norway in February 2011 to visit Monica! I was due to go to Paris next weekend but that's also the weekend of my birthday so I can't make it anymore :( sucks! I want to do a globe tour of gals!!!

L-R:

Keikk, Monica, Me, Ingvild

Taken from Keikk's blog! In all the SLR and good cameras I look like a draq queen LOL! This picture probably more so as you can see my affair with blusher and my awkward hand placement could lead to all kinds of random comments....oh well :D

FINLAND: Part 2

Saturday; Tsukicon day 1! I didn't sleep all night, bar maybe 40 minutes at 5am! :( Also, the adaptors I brought with me didn't fit any of the plugs in my room, or the hotel! So I had to go to an electrical store (which was opposite my hotel) and buy some new ones. But at last I had power! Luckily my phone pulled through the night!

I made use of my included breakfast and ended up having fruit and a really nice sponge cake (lol) with whole fruit inside. There was porridge and meats and bread but cake is obviously awesome! I had my make-up done but not my hair and there was a huge troupe of cheerleaders all eating in the restaurant and running in and out of the lifts - I think for some event as I saw more at Monica's hotel - and they were all staring like wth that girl can't be bothered to do her hair lol. I took a cab to Monica and Ingvild's hotel to do my hair. It was great to see Monica again! Even though it was only the second time we've met, I feel like we've known her for years! Ingvild is so nice too! She's awesome at hair! Puts me to shame :( It was such a pleasure to hang out with them. I was a bit worried as I cam alone and only really knew Monica properly as i've only spoken a little to or only read the blogs of the other girls that were going, but everyone was fantastic so I felt so much better! Monica did my hair for me! She's awesome!! I can't wait to practise!

Of course, I went to Finland to see Aina & Yuma, but also to see other gals. From the hotel, we took the tram into the centre of Helsinki to pick up our Tsukicon tickets. We met up with Katherine/Keikk who took us to the ticket office. She's gorgeous! I thought she was American at first as she has such an American accent but she was like "no im from Finland!" haha. Just before we met Keikk, we went into Gina Tricot - i've been spying on the website and Caryn and Monica always praise it - and bought a really cute leopard print jumper (in size L or something lol!) and a cute zebra print dress that was reduced to like EUR10! NICE.

After getting our tickets we checked the time and realised we were going to miss the start of the Q&A session, and we weren't really that near to the venue so we rushed to the tram and got to the main venue, Gloria. Keikk was saying that Gloria was rather small for holding such an event as Tsukicon, and it was! There was a huge line outside and even though the majority, if not all, had tickets, they were being really strict and only letting say, 4 people in at once :z The Q&A had already started and it was weird and kind of unreal to see Aina & Yuma sitting on the stage in front of us! Even though i've met them before, I was still quite nervous! I have to admit...Aina looked so bored to be there..and kind of dry! Her fashion and style has changed so much in the past year and now she just looks kind of boring. To be honest I was a bit disappointed. When we met in January she was so like, spunky and really energetic, and on the stage and stuff she just acted like she had better things to do :(

My friend Gen from Fuji TV says that Aina is going to leave egg quite soon. I mean, she appears less and less, there are not really any Pora Pora (polaroid photos at the back of egg) or funny photos of her anymore (minus egg Dec '10 - there's a pora pic of her) and she is apparently more focused and set on becoming a successful singer. She says she's always wanted to be a singer but does enjoy being a model. However, it has been her dream and she would prefer to sing as opposed to have her picture taken all the time, advertising all th time etc. As a popular magazine model, she has a shooting everyday. This could be for egg, promoting a brand, shooting for tv etc, and this generally applies with other popular personalities such as Tsubasa or Sakurina, and I can kind of understand that after a while she might not enjoy doing that anymore. A little known fact: Aina was spotted by the editor of egg in Shibuya and was asked if she wanted to be a model! I guess it can happen to anyone, so make sure you always look fab!

Another reason she will leave is because while she is popular and young, there are newer and younger "models"; quite literally; coming in all the time. For example, Nemoyayo and Kimori Jun are EXTREMELY popular right now. Aina is only 21! She's still young...but she's maturing, nd I guess if she is trying to land a more serious job in singing or even acting, that's why she's toning her image down more and more and not working so much for egg, which lets face it, isn't all that serious lol! ANYWAY sidetracked.

Aina & Yuma also did a handshake and autograph signing for 30 people who entered a competition online, and I was lucky enough to be one of the 30! I used this opportunity to give them presents of the purikura we took in January: as I had a spare set.

And also to give Yuma a special purikura that she asked me for too! I was also super excited to see my other guy from Fuji TV! He didn't get a chance to meet up with us in Tokyo in Oct so I was really surprised and mega happy to see him! At the signing, the girls recognised me virtually straight away and were in fits of AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA and SUUUUUUUUUGOIIIIIIIIII and needless to say, Yuma was pretty much ecstatic that she had her own special puri! We weren't allowed to take any photos or videos on our own cameras or phones so I have to wait until the pics are out! I bumped into Koi-chan (manager) just before the signing and he recognised me as soon as I said hello! He said "AH! Eilish-chan!!!" and went straight into conversation! I was so pleased!! He took photos of us while we waited for the signing to start~ We ate in Macdonalds afterwards and then went back for the fashion show!

My signed copies of the QUEEN and Campus Summit 2010 albums~

The fashion show was cool! Nice one girls~ I finally spoke to Paul from Fuji TV! His real name is Ikuo but he will forever be Paul to me and Dec! He did a "hisashiburi" interview with me. I invited him and 2 others with him to eat with us, and I thought it was just like a few of us but there was 21 gals! They filmed and recorded us eating and chatting and stuff so if they show that part on TV, I hope people appreciate that I asked them to come! Afterwards, me, Rebecca, Sofia and Amanda went back to Monica and Ingvild's room to get ready to go to the after party thing for Tsukicon. We went, and it was mega fail! Like 4 people dancing to Nintendo music! Lame. We just drank (EUR6.50 for one bacardi breezer wtf!!!) and chatted and had a good time! Me, Monica and Ingvild like, snuck in, so at least we didn't have to pay EUR8 to get in lol! I managed to sleep when I got back to my hotel so I was impressed! I didn' want to wake up in the morning though :( Photos!

Anyway, Sunday is coming! And if you still haven't entered my giveaway, you can do here!



bloggies

Here I am! I told you I would return >; D

I noticed this yesterday but am posting it today...why doesn't she just dye all of her hair blonde again???! I miss crazy brown and extreme makeup Aina! You're letting the side down girl!

So yesterday I wrote about the blog award I was given by Aki, and im here today to write the blogs that I think deserve this award!

1. Claire; Oh So Glam - I really love her Galspiration posts! And im impressed that she's getting more into Gal all the time! Nice one! I also realised that she gave me a blog award a little while ago but I didn't know how it worked so I never mentioned it! Sorry girl! >.<

2. Mitsu; Universal Doll - She needs an award! Her blog posts are always so helpful, and I can definitely feel really confident when I go to Japan knowing how to do more stuff without feeling really touristy and fangirly!

3. Sara; Moments Like Diamonds - Her photos from Japan are really fantastic, and it feels like im kind of there, as I never really got to see much of the country when I was there. Her co-ordinate posts inspire me to make some of my own!

4. Julia; Malibu Stacy Blog - Her photo spams are EXCELLENT! I love seeing the new things she has bought (with envy) and seeing all the fun gals she gets to hang out with!

Of course there are other blogs that stand out to me, so if you didn't see your name up here, its not because I don't like what you post! These blogs stand out to me the most at this time and I can't wait to see more from them!

musicmusicmusic

Hello!

Ive come to tell you about the Music Video I did! And also to bring you the *NEW* mini album by egg favourites, Aina and Yumachi!

I might as well tell you as to how I got the job in the first place; Max (who used to do the Roppongi Street clubnights in LDN) got a message from a production company who were looking for different styles of dances that aren't really seen, or haven't been seen here yet and somehow, they found Para Para, and wanted Max to appear in the video. Unfortunately, Max is currently living in Japan, but passed my name onto the team instead.... And then came the QUICK process that landed me the role! So, big thanks to Max for helping me out on this one, especially since I thought he was funny with me when he moved to JP :3

Sunday

I got a wall post from Max, and then a message on Facebook from the team telling me that they were after a Paralist and that they got my name from Max! I gave them a call rather than relying on email, and went in for a casting 2 hours later. They videoed me doing some freestyle para to the artist's song (which was SO difficult as the song is a lot slower than para!) and then sent that to the Record Label to see if they would approve me, which they were hoping for as they said they really liked the stuff I did, so it was all fingers crossed~!

Monday

I had a wardrobe fitting booked at the same place, even though I hadn't yet been approved by the label, as they hadn't got in touch with the production company. 1 hour before coming in for the fitting, I got a call to say that I had definitely been approved, which was awesome! I brought along some stuff, like my sailor fuku and they fitted me with a fuku-like outfit from their own wardrobe. The filming was the next day, but because I was at work, "special allowances" were made for me lol...

Tuesday

I arrived at the studio at 3PM straight from work, even though the dancers (there were 6 of us in all) were supposed to arrive at 12PM to get hair and makeup started. They told me I would probably be shot last, and I was worried that everyone was waiting on me, but luckily nothing had been filmed, so the dancers had been sitting around for a while just practising and chatting so I settled in and got my hair and makeup done, as well as get changed

Damn quick! The other dancers all had styles I had never really seen, apart from one guy who did Locking. The original style of the video was supposed to be like a Japanese TV show but they changed it to a disco themed talent show instead, but me and another person's dances didn't fit because the overall theme was the "70s" and our styles were 80s, 90s and 10s! so.... I actually felt pretty much an outcast because the other people (ranging in ages 17-31) are all professional dancers. 2 of them went, and one still goes, to bloody Pineapple Dance Studios... YEAH!

They were all talking in dance lingo and I was like "riiiight then..." and then they asked me where I trained to do my dance and I said "er....I learnt it off the internet actually" and their faces just dropped. Maaaan. I was some sad para kid and these guys were really dead serious! I mean, don't get me wrong, im serious about Para, but doing gis like music videos and commercials and stuff is THEIR LIFE. wth! and they get paid (or so they were saying) PROPER good money! Yet, they pass it off as if its nothing...spoiiilt. One of them did the McDonald's World Cup UK advert and was in it for a few seconds and got paid (so he said) £8fuckingthousand.

WHAT THE HELL

Now, I don't know if thats really true but he seemed dead serious, as did the others. And what was scary was that they kept saying "you're one of US now, you're part of our little group!" and "when you get an agent you'll be working all the time! maybe with us too!"....don't get me wrong, they are nice guys, but who wants to sign someone who does crazy brown (i.e.manba and/or banba) and para para to an agent??? apart from that, the shooting went well! they wanted me to make a routine, so I made up soemthing that wasn't a complete avex or etc routine, with lots of hearts (they asked me to!) and when I did the hearts the WHOLE room went "AWWWWWWWWWWWWW OMG!!! SO CUTE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"...lol!

We finished at 10pm and I got back at midnight...ugh....im DAMN tired.

I don't want to put up lots of videos because I don't want to get into trouble, but the video comes out in 2 weeks so : )

AND NOW for Yuma and Aina!

I preordered the Limited Edition version of the mini album, which is called QUEEN:

And I not only got the album, but I also got a LAGGY towel and hair scrunchie! LAGGY is the clothing line that the girls have come up with, but its pronounced really weird! You'd think it would be "LA-GEE" but they say it as "LA-GU-JI" ....huh? lol! I know its for the Japanese translation or whatever but there could have been a better way around it, like ラーギー or something. nevermind!

(not this yellowy - it was bad lighting, very sunny!)

(a cute sticker I got!)

My towel and scrunchie!

Ive uploaded the album onto Gal_Style at lj for all of you to enjoy~(once its approved)

Ciao!

one year & hair colouring

Hello!~

Im going to start my blog off a little mushy... ; )

On tuesday it was me and my boyfriend's one year anniversary...ee! Haha! I can't believe its been a whole year already! When we met, I never thought that things would go as far as they have, but im really glad they did. We couldn't spend the day together as I was at work and in the evening he went to go and see Ricky Gervais with his friends, but on Wednesday night (last night) he stayed at mine and cooked for me! us!
He cooked us steak, and all the other stuff that goes with it. I love going out to eat with him too, but having a great meal served by your man is wonderful! I haven't got any photos because I was too hungry, but it tasted good so thats all the info you need...

His friend said that he reads my blog sometimes...I wonder if he will read this one? And say "Tom your girlfriend said that I read your blog and she wrote about it"... I do write about really random things sometimes but its the way forward! I swear!

Now! Onto some business-like stuff. Im finally getting my hair coloured and sorted out on Saturday. Unfortunately I couldn't have it done tomorrow because I did try to book it a little late, but its cool. Im getting not only my roots done and my hair cut, but a whole NEW colour too! Its so difficult to decide though! Im a proud Aina Tanaka whore and im choosing one of her hair colours...but im not sure now! I was definitely decided and I checked out her blog today and have been swayed again!

Here is the colour I was totally decided on:

It looks completely different in different lights but thats what I like about it. Mine is just blonde. Actually thats a lie, its bleach blonde. Pros and cons of this hair colour:

Pros:

1. Its a sexy colour that will look good in all lighting - camera, outdoor, indoor, dark, bright

2. It looks good any style - curled, straight, up, down etc

3. Aina had it, but has had it a few times ; )

4. It won't make me look like a slag (which im NOT)

5. I can get cheaper extensions. #613 extensions are damn £££!

6. Its not too dark, and its not too light. I want to go slightly darker than the colour I am now but still stay quite bright, so this is perfect inbetween for me

7. It will suit my skintone

8. Layers will look better (and you can see them) with this hair colour. Current hair colour = what layers?

Cons:

1. Aina obviously has some highlights in, which I haven't yet tried and am sure sure whether to experiment with or not

2. I will have to colour my eyebrows. My eyebrows are brown and won't look amazing with this shade. They look fine at the moment, but they won't for much longer

3. My roots could be a problem. If you look, Aina's roots are a bit darker than the rest of the hair colour because theyve been bleached etc. Ill still have to get root touch up for this colour and not leave my roots for ages

4. What if it doesn't suit my short hair? Or suit my face without makeup? That sounds really dumb, but its true!

So, more pros than cons...its obviously ideal right? Well, it WAS until I saw her new faded colour:

Its GORGEOUS! She had her hair coloured pink and this is the faded out result. It makes her look more adult and really suits her skintone. Pros and cons to this colour:

Pros:

1. Bleach blonde really is a cultured colour, but everyone has it....this colour would make me look older and better!

2. It will suit my skintone

3. Layers will look better (and you can see them) with this hair colour. Current hair colour = what layers?

4. It won't make me look like a slag (which im NOT)

5. I can get cheaper extensions. #613 extensions are damn £££!

6. Its a sexy colour that will look good in all lighting - camera, outdoor, indoor, dark, bright

Cons:

1. Its a difficult colour to get right. This is the faded result of a previous haircolour...whats to say it won't fade even lighter? (which it will)

2. It will wash out sooo quickly. Like, I can't dye my hair pink and wait for it to fade!

3. Damaged hair will show up more in this colour

4. I'll have to colour my eyebrows

5. Roots could be a problem

Its so close for this one with like pros and cons..... I don't know!

Can you guys help me decide?
