When The Police announced their reunion tour in 2007, I told my daughters that I’d dye my hair blonde if they came to Ottawa. While I hoped they would, I never expected that The Police would actually make it here.
I had completely forgotten about my remark when, in February, they announced that they are kicking off the third and final leg of their tour in Ottawa. My youngest daughter hadn’t forgotten.
Today I made good on my remark and had my hair dyed.
Since my hair is too dark and naturally high in red pigment, typical blond, even bleach blonde, is out of the question (it would have come out as some weird Lennox-orange). Instead, I have something that is vaguely blond, more red. Whatever. It’s lighter, I lived up to my comment and I didn’t lie to my daughters. Besides, I think it looks pretty good.
