Okay, occasionally my stripes are cool.   I have had my hair in a bun most of the day (job interviews).  Actually it was sort of a cheater bun with a claw clip but it looked good with my dress.

Anyway, when I got home I decided to experiment with putting the bun up higher.  As I twisted my hair the stripes did a sort of swirl effect like ice cream.  And since it is the front six inches, vanilla rather than lime sherbert.  

I would take a picture but I have no idea where my camera is.

Hubby got a job in Waco (yes, think Branch Davidians; they're still there by the way and they have a new leader) and so I am looking there as well.

Interviewed for an administrative position, which is what I what, but geez, what a school!  There is actually a sign, visible from the school windows, marking the neighborhood as a high drug, high crime area.  The school is 50% African American and 46% Hispanic, and I am neither.  I don't think I got this job.

I have another interview tomorrow.  Don't know if I'm going to do the "ice cream hair" thing or not.  

I don't get the striped effect so much with my grey hair as I do with my blonde vs light brown hair.  My buns and braids really show off the varying colors of my hair!

Your ice cream effect sounds cool - you should strive for the effect.  ;)

That ice cream effect sounds cool! I've got similar stripes in my buns and braids, just different colors(dark brown and light auburn)  Instead of ice cream, I've got tiger stripes :)  If you do find your camera, I'd love to see pictures!
