grey

I'm probably about 20% grey although I dye my hair frequently so not many people are aware of that fact. It used to scare me. I hated the whole idea of getting old. Everything from the grey hair to the wrinkly knees used to make me very upset. Then I read a few books like The Body Snatchers- How the media shapes women and The Beauty Myth -How images of beauty are used against women. These books combined with a few others made complete sense to me and helped me see that I only feared aging cosmetically as the media tells me everyday that if you arent young and beautiful like the images plastered all over magazines, TV and such then you should go hide under a rock somewhere. I can hopefully get my daughter to read these books when she is old enough. So I can accept aging gracefully....but I will be dying my hair again today.....grey hair just isn't very flattering on me.
