I Finally Did It-Pink Hair!

So, I've been wanting to get pink hair ever since I was little and rented the Mario Paint game and there was a girl with pink hair. But growing up I wasn't allowed to dye my hair crazy colors and I never knew how well it would since I have very dark hair.
But I found out this year that there was nothing in the library policy about hair color, so I decided to ask my friend who's also my hair stylist to help me go pink. I thought it would be a great way to stand out during my Summer Reading Program school visits-and so far all the teens have loved it so I think it's a success! So I had to share my new pink hair! (Aren't teen librarians so cool?)

I'm planning on keeping it for awhile, so if you're at ALA, you can find me-I'll be the girl with the pink streaks in her hair!:)

  3. I love the contrast between your dark hair and the pink! It's so funny that you did this because I have always wanted to do a streak of bright pink or turquoise in my hair, but I have medium brown curly hair. I just don't think the curly just doesn't really work with a bright streak. Makes me sad.

  11. I love it and plan on having something similar done this summer! As a teacher I want to do it, but I don't want to freak out all my parents (or students too!)

  12. That looks fabulous! I did something similar a few months ago and loved it, but my blue streaks faded so quickly. I was thinking of doing pink next year though, and your pics only make me more convinced!

    Congrats on taking the pink plunge!

  13. It looks great on you! I'm a little old at 49, but otherwise I might go in for turquoise....I have dark hair like you but now I have "natural" streaks (of gray!)

  20. That is too cool! I am very envious! I think our library does have a policy regarding hair color--has to be a natural color, but that is great. I bet your teens love it!

  21. Looks absolutely 100% cute. Way to go !!

  22. It's too cool! I've always wanted to do something like that.

  23. NICE! I always envied the girl in college with the hot pink pixie cut. And I was going to dye my hair blue for high school graduation, but they told me I couldn't give my speech if I did. *ahem*

  24. I love it! That is a great shade too. And you look so adorable!

  25. One of the happiest days of my life was the day I discovered a job that didn't care what my hair colour was! So I have been black, purple and pink for the last 5 years and I don't think I'll ever stop! (Some times I opt for the red over pink but then switch it up). I don't know why hair colour makes me so happy - maybe because I always wanted to be one of Jem and the Holograms. ;)

    The hair looks VERY cool! If I were a teen coming into the library I would want that hair!

  26. WOW, that's a lot of comments.
    Anyway.
    WIN. I love your hair. You look fantabulous.
    I now want colored hair. If only my mother would approve...

  27. I'm in the middle of "The Future of Us" right now, and their school librarian has a pink stripe in her hair. It made me think of you :)

Eleanor and Park by Rainbow Rowell

Rating: 5/5 Stars Genre: Realistic Fiction Release Date: 2/26/2013 Add to Goodreads About the Book: Eleanor and Park are both misfits. When new girl Eleanor sits next to Park on the bus, they don't want anything to do with each other. But over the course of the school year, things change. It starts with comic books and becomes a friendship and a romance that the two will never forget. You never forget your first love. GreenBeanTeenQueen Says: Have you ever had a book sit on your shelf that you've heard so much hype about? And you think that books sounds like it would be right up your alley, but you're in a reading slump and you're afraid to give it a try unless it fails? I knew Eleanor and Park sounded like my perfect book, but I was in such an after committee slump that I even though I knew this book would help, I just didn't want to be disappointed. I should have known better because Eleanor and Park was perfect and everything that I had hoped it wou

Post Downton Abbey Reading List

Downton Abbey is over (with a shocking and frustrating ending!) and now I'm suffering Downton Abbey withdrawal. I've got a reading list full of books that I hope will satisfy my post-Downton Abbey cravings and I thought I'd share what's in my pile and get suggestions for other after Downton reads. Here's what I hope to be reading this year (a mix of YA and adult titles):                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  A couple Julian Fellowes reads:                And a few re-reads:                    Edited to add: What's on your Post-Downton Abbey reading list?
