Salt and pepper

After I dyed my hair New Year's Eve for the "Julio" audition, I ended up looking like Rod Blagojevich. Just too much black hair. It was really embarrassing when I went to the dentist's office or bank--but I did it for "my craft!"

I finally got it cut off yesterday; and feel a great deal better. It's pretty much a buzz cut; and strangely, some of the hair remained black, as if it hadn't grown out. Leaves a nice salt and pepper effect.

I shouldn't make too big a deal over it; but it will be the last time I go to the extreme of a drastic--and semi-permanent--change in appearance just for the chance to do an audition in Cleveland, Ohio.

At least when I did the "Indiana Jones" audition in New Haven, CT, and dressed like a professor from the 1950s, I could change back to my normal style without having to wait six weeks for my hair to grow out.
