This is gonna crack you up. Or maybe have you dashin’ out the door to git yours. Or maybe…never return to this blog again because the author has lost her mind and you’re not gonna take it anymore. Whatever the case, it’s all in good fun…so whatever floats your boat, ya know?
Anyway, not long ago I came upon a posting by my crazy friend Michele (her blog is called “BodaciousBoomer” and it is a HOOT!} who wrote about this product called ‘BettyBeauty‘. I was howling the entire time I read. It wasn’t that I couldn’t believe someone had actually come up with such a product, it was the way in which Michele shared her perspective. Truth be told, I always figured it was just a matter of time before someone came up with such a product.
The fact that the product comes (originally) from Italy makes it even more hilarious to me. Leave it to those crazy Italian women to want to “match” their hair-down-there. They’re so stylish, those gorgeous Italianas.
And honestly, it’s not like it should be a surprise. There was even an episode on Sex and the City where Samantha had attempted to color hers, (and I think she either burned it off or it turned out a horrible color. Can’t recall now. I just remember that it had me in stitches.) When your hair on your head starts to fade, it only makes sense that your hair-down-there will too. Or worse! Sometimes it doesn’t so much fade as it does turn stark-raving white. It’s quite the shock! And don’t even think about pullin’ that sucker out. OUCH. OUCH. OUCH. Not a good idea.
So anyhooo00….this woman discovers this little secret while she’s in Rome, goes back to New York, and decides she’s going to develop her own to market in the states. Well, of course she is. There is no such product available (in the U.S.) at this point, and she can see the potential for a gazillion dollar market. Not rocket science to figure that one out, ya know?
And so that’s what she did. She did the research, got a bunch of other folks on board (gee. ya think that was a struggle? NOT!) and began her mission to spread the word that we can all have our hair-down-there match the hair on our pretty little heads. But that’s not all. If you’re feelin’ a bit on the wild side, you can even get ‘wild’ colors…pink, green, lilac…(wowza! can you imagine?!). AND…oh no…she didn’t stop there. She even came up with some specifically for men. Now, I gotta tell ya, while it isn’t hard for me to imagine women wanting to do such a thing, I do find it a bit staggering to think about men doing it. Call me sexist…but I just have a hard time picturing this. But then…I’m into cowboys, so it just seems a bit inconceivable to me. A cowboy with color-coordinated hair? Don’t think so.
When I first heard about this, I posted a little blurb on my FaceBook page about it. The first person to respond was, of all people, my brother. He wrote, “what if you don’t HAVE ANY hair-down-there?” HUH? The immediate visual I had in my head was NOT a pretty picture. COME ON, BRO! Did ya really have to go there????
{I wrote him back and told him to get a henna tattoo of an uzi. He’s all into that Mafia Wars stuff. Figured it’d be a perfect fit. I got no response back. Go figure.}
So now I’m really curious. I wonder how many women do this? I wonder if anyone notices when they do. I wonder if the woman who came up with the product is a gazillionaire yet. But mostly I wonder…
WHY????
