I still smile and pose, though, because if I'm going to be in someone's album, might as well look cute<br/><br/>And anon, the yellow hair reminds me of when we did descriptions and my students they all told me I had yellow hair and green eyes. Huh? I have dark brown hair and brown eyes, barely a shade different from theirs! What must it be like for a real blonde!?!?! I expected the kids to describe me by my huge glasses, but they were all about my yellow hair. I’d never tell someone to F off! but I think my answer to “what are you eating?” would have been more like “Reuban sandwich” and not “This is called a reuben, it’s made of rye bread, corned beef, swiss cheese and salad dressing, would you like a bite?”

I'd rather be idolised (yes, that's what it is) for simply having brighter coloured hair than the majority of the world than be another one of the "nobodies". Isn’t that a good thing?

That's exactly what I called it in Guangdong, and exactly what we call it in Jilin. And for my money, they are awesome.
