Blonde or Brunette?

There are two fiercely divided factions. There is no leaning towards one side or the other. Perhaps I should compromise with a very boring sort of brown? Should I simply chunk highlight my hair screaming blonde against my almost-black brunette?

In this decision, there are so many things to consider, maintinence, skin tone, fading, explotation of the hair shaft. (For those of you who say grow my natural color out, I scorn you. You have no idea what you are talking about.)

Being blonde gets me more attention, negative or otherwise, but people also drop my IQ thirty points. I can where decidedly more colors, and my clothing staple of black tends to look a little classier. People say it makes me look happier and generally more likeable.

Being (dark, dark) brunette makes people think I am smarter, whether that is founded or not, is highly debateable. I am more likely to wear bright colors, but instead of being mistaken for Cameron Diaz or Reese Witherspoon, I am told I look like Kelly Osbourne. And, I get lots of questions about being goth, a witch or generally demonic.

I am frought with worry. I know not what to do.



And I haven't even begun deliberating about the haircut.
