JUST PLAYING.
another go at the album cover disguised as a glamour self portrait. or perhaps it's the other way around.
no, i have not lost my mind and had my hair coloured. although i've met quite a few older women (by older i mean older than me) who had coloured their grey or white hair to pink or green or purple or blue. mine was all done in ribbet.
for the album cover challenge.

in my father's mother's bloodline, there was a strain that produced very light grey or very light blue eyes. my paternal grandmother, who had died long before my parents married, had a sister that they thought was blind. she wasn't, it's only the coloration of the iris. but she was stigmatized and teased and treated as blind. apparently that strain skips a generation, which was my father's generation. therefore, my cousins on my father's side and i are supposed to carry that strain which would mean that one of us would have a child with such eyes. none of my cousins had a child with light irises, but four of us, two males and two females, in our generation did not have our own children. i was barren, my other cousin chrissy was a spinster and the male ones never married.
when the first mr. summerfield and i got married, i told him about that strange phenomenon in the paternal bloodline. i was kind of hoping that i carried the strain and my husband's genes would enhance my chances of having an issue with light coloured irises. no such luck for me, i was barren. so i explained to my nephews and nieces that one of them may be carrying that gene that has that strain.
i love blue eyes, just not on me. you know whose blue eyes are most gorgeous? paul newman!

The child-free life is the best!! 😃
So glad the color streaks are from photo magic. I don't know why women think that streaking their hair that way makes them look younger. We were out for lunch the other day and a lady came to eat with a vivid blue streak in her hair and blue lipstick. I think she was trying to look younger but it only made me think, "You must be pushing 60 if you're trying to look like you're 18."
Nice job on the album cover!
