My Silver Streak Continues

Well........after visit number two, within one week,  to the Cutler Salon, I realized the upkeep on this hair was a full time job. The powers that be, however, guided me to a wonderful product called ROUX rise in steel grey...and i am able to keep the hair a marketable shade or...umm...pewter??
    The look is not perfected, but thus far here are the grey haired images I have...

WHAT'LL I WEAR TO MATCH THIS HAIR??

So yes... frantic dig through the mountains of silver and gray clothing in my house yielded quite an impressive tumbler of results. Vintage and au currant, both found in the closets of this very old house. With that solved, i duly noted my real problem was that the grey cast washes out quite easily. Solved with violet infused color shampoo.
    I did a web search of models who were know for their grey tresses, and this, indeed, affirmed my thought that my agent is an absolute genius. here are some of the images of the models i have found in my search, among them: Carmen dell'Oreffice, Susan Hersh, Linda Fischer, Yasmina Rossi, Roxanne Gould, Ingmari Lamy, and the gorgeous Cindy Joseph.....

Grey, gray, silver, platinum, far more than fifty shades...........

"Darling," she instructed me, "would you reach in that drawer there and give me my purse.
A girl doesn't read this sort of thing without her lipstick."
-Truman Capote

   Well...as many of you know, aside from being an art educator, I am a print model (represented by IKON NY Model Management in NYC www.ikonmodels.com). My agent arranged to have my hair colored silvery/grey/platinum at the CUTLER Salon in NYC , feeling that she could market it me more effectively to the 50+ market with gray hair. Here are the results thus far; we are awaiting a proper shoot scheduled to occur in two weeks or so.





      Well...what happens now? An entire psychological delve into being fifty, being grey (or gray, or silver, albeit a forced change- not natural) and a mad rush through my cosmetics to figure out what colors to use!! I will post my discoveries soon; am thinking of writing an illustrated manual documenting this search. The lipstick roundup begins now........
