Yes, I actually had this sort of fantasy idea of making a day of going to southern CA to see him so he could get me gray, but as soon as I saw that he was doing Jane Fonda's hair I decided that's probably not in the cards for me.

His phone is probably ringing off the hook now.

I thought Jane's hair looked great! Thanks for posting the article, I thought she was sporting her real natural color, but it was seven hours of hair stylist magic. Had me fooled, he did a fantastic job.

If you don't have a nice natural silver, I wonder how hard it is to maintain Jane's look with your natural grey?

As do I.

In 2018, I started a thread called 'Let's talk about "old talk"'; one point of the quoted sources is that "fat talk" and "old talk" are intertwined. Notice that I didn't label it "Off-Topic." While checking to see if all the links in the original post are still working (as of this writing, they are), I noticed that the YWCA example begins with gray hair.

That kind of thought is why my last post in this thread included this:

So it is that I noticed this, too:

I wonder what "pro-health" would be here--there are discussions of the idea of "health" within the movement, and I agree with some lines of thought more than with others.

Still, one of my first responses may be that moving away from body criticisms has its inherent "pro-health" qualities. Health is really more than things like diet, exercise, and body fat. Someone who lives under a continual gnawing fear of not having a "perfect" body isn't maximally healthy, and someone who spreads that fear may be even less so.

Taiga, I'll probably address other parts of your post later; I substantially agree with the rest of it.

To clarify, I hope in the future that we don't need a "movement" or permission for "acceptance" and that instead we have an environment that truly focuses on health and feeling well. That of course is intertwined with mental health. IMHO, we just don't need a dividing poster child for skinny or fat. We need to enjoy our bodies and nurture them and support others in doing the same. Less division, more compassion, respect and connection-----that would go a long way in healing what ails our society.

It took Jack Martin eight hours to transform Sharon Osbourne’s hair. I think it looks great.

It's ironic. Going gray or white should mean finally letting go of being a slave to coloring appointments; for many it seems it will just introduce a now host of methods and dye products.

(I mean, 8 hours..??)

I thought the same thing. I wonder what the maintenance is like.
