My hair is actually a bit past shoulder length with kind of wild, very layered curls. I have an undercut (shaved head) up to about mid-ear which is hidden when I wear my hair down. If I put my hair in a ponytail or bun you can see the shaved portion. Just above the shaved portion is a strip of platinum blond that just barely peeks out when my hair is down, but is shown off if my hair is up. It's the perfect combo of being "polished" while at work, and a bit more edge when I'm out of work. Although I wear it both ways at work. I AM a Riot Grrrl at heart. (It's a music scene. If you like screaming women in rock - that's my genre. If you listen to anything by the band Bikini Kill or Sleater Kinney you've hit on my favorite bands)
Get that piercing! I LOVE those piercings. But ugh, do they take FOREVER to heal. Where I am in the states I'm a bit closer to what we call "hipster" culture. Don't know if the same term is used where you are. The derogatory term we use that would translate to "common" would be "trailer trash" (not a very kind term).
Related to D12 and the 2nd piercing: We have a lot of discussions on campus about "professional" dress with students, and how to teach them what to expect in the workplace. But here's the part I struggle with: This upcoming generation is going to be redefining workplace culture the minute they step into it. So we can teach them what is acceptable NOW, but they are the ones who are going to live it and decide whether or not to judge their peers on dress.
So I'm sure D12 will not receive even a second thought if she chooses to get another piercing or two eventually.
If I ever me your H I'd likely look him dead in the eye, nod solemnly, and say, "Yes. I've heard about this. Women's brains slowly leak out of their ears with each added piercing. I lost 500,000 brain cells with each of these that I have. Yes, I believe keeping D12's head in tack is a priority."
I'm a smart @$$ when it comes to anyone telling another woman what to do with their own body. Soooo maybe don't do that!
