Quiz: what colour hair should you have?

Posted on by

Yes, oh anonymous internet quiz, I shall obey. Just as soon as I have the $155 I owe the last GOOD hairdresser to touch my head, plus another $155 to fix the sandy blonde-brown mess the last one made. Sigh.


Your Hair Should Be Red


You are a passionate person… both in love and in life.

You have many causes that are important to you. You can be very intense.

You are very fiery. You speak up, and you don’t mince words.

You also have a very flamboyant personality. You love to show off.

You are both eccentric and expressive. You like to share your unique point of view.

You can become quite impassioned. So impassioned that you can seem a little overbearing.

Given the transition of Faceless Day into a new face for raincoaster, this seems like a good time to introduce this video by Franco-Canuck Mylene Farmer. It’s the first song that made me aware of her, and it only did that because of the awesome power of this particular video, which just happens to be near-perfect.

Fran Lebowitz is right: the products of repression and self-hatred are artistically superior to the products of freedom and self-actualization. I mean: Vincent Van Gogh vs LeRoy Neiman. Case closed.

Quiz: what kind of piercing are you?

Yep, this one rings all the right bells, although we can all agree the LAST thing I need is more holes in my head.


You Are an Eyebrow Piercing


You are unique, quirky, and more than a little eccentric.

You cultivate the weirder sides of your personality, and you don’t mind sharing them.

Ever since you were a kid, you’ve had strong opinions. You’ve never been like everyone else, and you’re okay with that.

And you’ve always been able to tell people exactly what you think – even when they don’t want to hear it.

You love to create, dream, imagine, and communicate. You live in your own universe.

And unlike most people who live in their own little world, you’re happy to invite anyone in!
