if you look closely



If you look closely you'll see that ... gasp! ... that's not me that you see ... but me in my dreams!

Oh, to live in Rome and careen through the streets on a scooter!

have you seen Swiss Guards before?!! there's a reason why Switzerland can remain neutral.

i don't remember. i was too busy looking at Raphael's "The School of Athens". by the time i got to the Sistine Chapel i found little to be impressed with.

a. how is her scarf flying back like that when she's stopped and her hair looks pretty stable?

b. can you really ride a scooter with high heels? i am amazed by heels. they seem to take incredible skill just to walk on.

c. changing your hair to blonde would not be a good idea if you want to be taken seriously as a scholar. i read a quote today that rang pretty dang true for our times, "Not being blonde and thin, you develop a personality very quickly." maybe that's painfully obvious to some but i don't think most guys get it actually. it ties into the question of whether classically beautiful girls grow up very differently and rely on their looks to win attention/favor/competition/income/etc.

(and no, I wasn't making any commentary on your weight with that blonde quote!)

sigh ... you're thinking way too much into this, N ... don't forget ...

it's a dream.

it's funny, though. you know how you have a visual picture in your mind of what you look like ... well, in my mind ... i'm blonde. i was blonde until I went to college and my hair began to darken to a brown.

do you work for her majesty's service, N?

and an absolutely lovely dream at that! i do hope my questioning of the scarf physics illustrated in the photo did not detract from the fun of the dream. scooters are brilliant. especially in european countries. when i'm in america i do prefer a motorcycle, since they have so many bloody huge SUV's i need more power to escape their crushing weight.

but i digress, this hair topic is far more interesting anyway... has their been any research done on young women going to college and naturally changing away from blonde hair as their brain begins to be used more and more? are you sure you don't sleepwalk at night and dye your hair gradually darker as you move through your education so as to avoid the blonde stigma? i hope not, because you actually seem like a woman who could overcome that stigma. and have fun doing it!

i'm seriously fascinated by this though. i didn't think anyone past maybe 12 years old changed their hair color naturally.

as to your last question, with your safety and best interests in mind...i'm afraid i cannot answer.
