[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op, I think you are waaaaay too self-conscious.  I've been in DC for 20 years.  I'm in an artistic industry.  I just cannot fathom that you are walking around and people are just astounded by your green hair.  I just cannot for the life of me believe that.  Even in my small, rural home town kids colored their hair.  If anything I can see people in DC being completely ambivalent to it.  I agree there are a lot of people here that are status quo.  But you are acting like green hair is something so unheard of that people are fainting in the street.  They just aren't.  This isn't happening.  They also do not mistake you for a terrorist.  I would never think that a terrorist would be into dying their hair green.  The Taliban just doesn't seem to get into that kind of stuff.  DC people know this.  I think you are horribly insecure. I think you are possibly a bit self-involved to think everyone cares that much about your hair.  And I'm also curious how old you are.  When I was young I also thought a lot of what people thought of me.  When I got older I realized how little they did think about me.  People aren't that worried about what you are doing!![/quote]

At first I thought it was in my head, but others have pointed it out to me.  Of course people might have seen green hair before, of course everyone has a tv and such, but that doesnt keep them from giving nasty looks.  Again, I've had so many friends bring it up to me, that they are shocked by the reactions I get.  You guys can say I am too self conscious but it's not the case... I visited many cities this summer and felt absolutely no animosity or shock directed towards me!  In DC, I feel like a criminal walking around with green hair.  People seem SHOCKED and dismayed by it.  And yes, usually it's the policy-wonk looking types in suit and tie. [/quote]

You frequent Columbia Heights?  Then you must know there are plenty of AA teenagers rocking outfits similar to that grey stretch thing that Rihanna was wearing (maybe not in this weather, but certainly in warmer weather).  No one looks at them askance; some men may look at them appreciatively though.   I think this nonsense is all in your head. [/quote]
