Girly Fashion Do: Curls in Pillarbox Red

So consider this a part one of two on pink curls.  Today's is of the curling iron, burn your hair, it falls out in a few hours but in the meantime GOD it's sexy variety.  Some point in the near future, I'll do the sponge curler, have to sleep on in discomfort, (good) frizzy hippie waves that stay for days installment.

I personally have Straight Hair Syndrome.  SHS is when one's hair is naturally straight, or in my case has that slight does whatever it fucking wants wave, and the person in question constantly curls their hair, wishing they naturally had the ringlets of Kirsten Dunst in Interview with a Vampire, who can be seen to the right in her awesome nine year old Pedobear Bait glory.  Seriously, between all the implied homosexuality and pedophilia, how did that movie get made in the 90s?  Back on topic, most people are probably more familiar with Curly Hair Syndome, CHS, in which the person hates their stupid frizzy curls and spends their entire life refusing to leave home without their straightening iron.

So for Thanksgiving and my small family get together, I decided it would be awesome to curl my hair.  I got a curling iron out of my friend's moving that has pretty much been the best matched iron for my hair ever.  I've been absolutely dying for any excuse to use it since I got it, and hey look over there, it's an excuse!  Sweet!

Between the pictures and the undeniable truth that I can validate any fact I present with my own opinion, I'm considering it a fashion do because ... seriously, look at it!  It's fucking cute, okay!  I am a sucker for BAM bright hair, and then toned down, classy styling.  Hair in curls, a dress, and sexy heels?  That's what it's all about.

Con one to this fashion do, as anybody who has used a curling iron before will know, is it's a slow and uncomfortable process.  Think about it, you're taking a piece of really hot metal, and holding it near your head for ten to thirty seconds at a time.  Not to mention I have a LOT of hair (hair lady, vouch for me plz) so it's not a quick and easy thing.  Hair gets pulled, skin gets burned, etc.

Con two, and this may be a me alone thing, but like I said earlier it doesn't last very long.  It used to be, when I was younger, that one could take a curling iron to my hair first thing in the morning and it'd be that way until the end of the night.  Now ... well, I curled at my hair at noon, and it had completely gone straight before any company had even shown up at four.  I don't know if there's a product, or a technique, or something that keeps curled hair curled, but I'm hoping sponge curlers may be the solution.

The third and final con, and this not related to the curliness at all, is my hair is already starting to fade!  Which means that here soon, I'll need to move on to the next color.  So I think you should all vote in the poll to the upper right!  If you need examples of the colors:

All of these awesome pictures are from the website of our dye lords, manicpanic.com  I'll be dying my hair again at the beginning of the new year, maybe sooner if I'll lose this color as quickly as I've been told I will.  So vote!
