Well, this certainly is an interesting way to show how green you are.

figuring out your colors

Green looks good on plants, but there are very few vertebrates who can pull it off: e.g. red-eyed treefrogs, emerald boas. And as a rule, mammals simply do not do green.

But if she must go through with this stunt, Helena could try not dyeing all her hair green, just part of it, and then dyeing the rest other colors. I.e., she could go for the color scheme of certain South American parrots, such as the Blue-fronted Parrot (Amazona aestiva) and the Military Macaw (Ara militaris), in which the bright green is cut with regions of equally bright blue, red and yellow.

Chickens deserve our true friendship! So do fish! So do other sentient beings! Let us learn to be kind.

38?

38 year old supermodel?

Seems like an oxymoron.

I guess Green is better than Gray.

Oh!

And I thought I was dying my hair for fun.

I agree with Canis about the color, though, especially if you are of some Asian heritage. Green just makes me look yellow (usually not what I'm going for).

I did get away with dying my hair a nice green-blue one time (a color called "fishbowl").

Green Hair

Please, Helena, use natural dyes! Spinach, perhaps?

I prefer the Green Grandma

who has been seen hanging out at http://livegreenlivesmart.org/blogs/green_grandma/default ...

She is SUCH a noodge - you just KNOW she is shopping the consignment shops, recycling Liz Claiborne and Ralph Lauren from two seasons ago, and saving the buttons from the jackets she cuts up to make into braided rag rugs...
