Dear Bunny! That story is just hair-raisingly scary... (but now you look restored to your glamorous self!).I do have a real life scary story for you for this week. Serendipitously, it occurred last week....
It was a dark and stormy night...(I'm not actually sure about that.)
But it was a dark and stormy night anyway. My hair has been through the wringer this past year and a half, and so I decided a few weeks ago to give the bleaching a "rest". So, I bought some high lifting bleach free hair color that was the next closest to the shade I usually do, even the same brand.
Finally, I couldn't take the horror of my brown roots anymore...So I decided to forge ahead with the new color last week.
I mixed. I applied. I tried to focus only on the roots and left it on for the shortest amount of time (in case of "problems"). Then, without looking in the mirror like I usually do, I jumped in the shower to wash it all out and applied the toning (purple) conditioner.
I bided my time for the usual 3 minutes, rinsed, and rinsed, and rinsed....(This stuff takes forever to get out...) and rinsed.
Minutes later, when the steam finally cleared from my bathroom mirror...I saw.... to my absolute horror.....
...hair that was THIS COLOR!
ensued.
I went to MrBcat (who is colorblind and had NO IDEA what I was on about...
In a desperate attempt to avoid this embarrassment, I reached for Dr. Google. Salvation was at hand! Like a failed chemistry student, or perhaps a vacuous Dr Jeckyll, I decided to mix this dangerous elixir I found on the interwebs, that purported to have the answer I needed....if only I had lemons and hair conditioner at hand!
I did not, in fact, have any lemons at all at hand, or in the refrigerator. To which I implored Mr Bcat to please make a trip to Whole Foods before closing (it was 9:15) so I would not have to be seen outside the house.
In the mean time, I had informed my fellow SMs the woeful and frightening tale in real time....
Before MrBcat (who selflessly began putting on his shirt and shoes) could risk life and limb on the trek to WF, I stumbled across a lesser known recipe that merely involved Vitamin C tablets and shampoo.
VIT C! I have that in spades around the house!
In to the hopper goes the 3x500mg of Vit C tablets and a substitution of conditioner and shampoo mix and then quickly on to the hair it goes. I mean, if you made it this far...what could it hurt, right????
Mere moment later....I saw the gratifying return of my normal inside of the banana peel blond to my ravaged locks....And several deep conditions later, it is starting to feel a little better.
Thank you for indulging me. I promise this is a real blow by blow, and not embellished in any way....
Carry on!
My hair was not quite as blue as this Modernism Tropicale.....but it was a very near miss!!!!

Thank you, Bunny!Most excellent for this week!
Thank you, Croisette!
Oh, thank you so much, Marie-the-Mary, I appreciate your kind compliments.Congratulations for such great talent, Karenska !It was such a pleasure to read your introduction
Dear Croisette7, I don't want to be intrusive, I love this design so much and love very soft pastels so much (favorably corail/abricot, pink is rather difficult for me, though I couldn*t resist buying CW 08 and CW 16 (though yellow is rather difficult on me too...) and I can't find this scarf in any boutique. I also don't want to have it ordered from Paris if I'm not sure. Here, the colours might still be a little bit too bold (colourful) for me and my wardrobe. That's why I would so like to ask you please to photograph the scarf again simply bifold - ideally with the other corners in each case, if you don't mind. In any case, thank you very much for sharing these beautiful photos and have fun wearing it.
Beautiful, Pampelmuse. It's so interesting how a block graphic can be so inspiring and elegant. This is so lovely. That's why I am so in love with my En Cadre CS GT shawls. They are understated and simplicity, letting the beauty of the fabric shine.
Happy Halloween! A few years ago when the 70cm version of C’est le Fete came out, I couldn’t bring myself to buy it no matter how intricate the design was. The skeleton just plain scared the heck out of me but the rest of the scarf was so cool. Fast forward several years later, the double silk came out and by then I was entranced with the colors, details and the way it ties as a 90. Finally I convinced myself that you don’t see the silly skeleton anyway when tied. So here it is my one and only ClF.. And I do love the artistic work of this designer, Daiske Nomura. I think there is a thread in Clubhouse about the design, symbolisms and meaning. Suffice to say, I will likely not buy another skeleton silk (sorry McQueen fans). 
Well, that's a charming beauty! oh my, I love it. It looks great with your jacket, too.Actual SOTD is my most recent acquisition - I was lucky enough to attend a Hermes special sale event last week and found this black men's scarf with huge polka dots and an adorable yellow fringe! I couldn't jump on it fast enough, given that yellow hems are my kryptoniteAnybody know what season this would be from or what it's called? It's wool/silk.

Oh, what a beauty, Lanit. It looks beautiful on you. As much as I love this design, I too, shy away from it. As I do with anything that has true to life looking snakes like Caducee Rock - quel horreur....
I think that graphic designs are highly underrated. Thanks, Karenska!
