My hair started getting "lighter" when I was only 18. If I idn't worship to the gods of modern chemistry and their fabulous invention in the form of hair-color I guess I would pass for a 70 year old (hairwise). I am quite sure that I am personally responsible for 30% of the revenues of L'Oreal, Schwarzkopf, Poly ... whatever they sell and use at the salon.
I think I got it from my grandma. At least they tell me that she turned white when she was about 30.
I envy my cats. I honestly do. They are always properly dressed, fur is squeaky-clean, smells good, doesn't grey and the hair loss is a natural occurence. Nobody frowns at them for having furry legs, ears, and a "beard" (whiskers), not even if it's a female cat. Weight issues in cats are highly accepted by fellow cats. Fur and skin color is no issue, nor is nationality. Religion doesn't seem to be a hot topic either. The only terrorist attacks I have witnessed are the ones where one hogs the favorite play-mouse and the only fights they get into is who gets to sit on the sofa.
Maybe we should become more like cats.
