hmmm
The more I consider the implications of this thread, the more I think we need more like it! I believe that no human should be in charge of their own personal appearance!
Two of the formerly most attractive people I ever knew have now RUIIIINED their appearances with terribly fortnightly hair experiments and a really bad eaaaar piercing.
Her hair used to be beautiful, then she dyed, and it looked nice. Now she dyes it frequently and you can't even tell what colour it is anymore! And her hair is now really thin, you can tell so easily! And it looks like it may break off!
And him! His ear! The piercing looks awfully silly, but I am too polite to say 'that makes you look like an asshole'!!! What is worse, the tissue around the piercing has turned into lumpy scar tissue! It is huge! I am deeply saddened that these attractive people have ruined themselves to look at.
What I am trying to say...
Is that we should pay more attention to this thread.
Chrasstor, if you want the piercing, get it. But be CERTAIN about where you want it, and be ridiculously obsessive with your aftercare and maintenance! Be careful not to look like an asshole! But don't go for the dye job. If you really must, you can go a darker brown. But not black!
I am genuinely concerned about you and your appearance. There are things you can do that aren't dye-jobs and piercings. Even the slightest haircut can make a huge difference, and clothes! Oh my, new clothes are fantastic. Maybe attempt an even haircut and comb it once in a while?
Hmm...maybe I'll deliver anonymous notes through their letterboxes in the middle of the night when they sleep expressing my concerns about their physical appearance...
Yes.
Because that wouldn't be strange or unwelcome, whatsoever!
