late night melancholy
i think i should maybe leave this entry until morning...
its weird, one minute im laughing and telling stories and checking people out, the next im avoiding the site like the plague
i can spend all day completely fine with the whole idea and possibly even finding it exciting, but when it comes time to reflect and write i just feel like screaming out "this isnt the way it should be done!"
or more exactly, this isnt the way i want it to be done
im testing out the theory that its because im writing at night
something about sitting up at 1am, perched on the end of your bed with your fluffy socks on, alone except for your cat who keeps misbehaving and shedding fur whilst u scan thru the list of men that have never met u but think u will "really hit it off"... it can give u a touch of the melancholy
;)

Hope you resident of permanent
today i was hit up not once, but twice, by a Cambodian woman... she wants to become the resident for the not temporary :lol:
she is after the short funny man, a nice australian man, or New Zealand man who speak english
i replied the second time with "i think u should read my profile again as it appears you are looking for something i am not"
i didnt know whether to be offended or amused, i ended up choosing amused... and then just before writing this i checked her profile again, its been updated and is obviously a piss-take
(want to meet nice stable man like shane warne, please)
now im a bit disappointed :lol:

rejection is a bitch
ive lapsed... no updates all weekend...
because i seem to have lost my enthusiasm for this little project, it feels like a chore at the moment
:(
every day its the same, "you seem cute, want to chat?", "i think we'll really hit it off", and i look at the person hitting me up and we have nothing in common, i know for a fact that we wont hit it off, are u people paying any attention at all to anything that my profile says???
if my only stipulation (besides age and location) is that u drink either not at all or occassionally... why hit me up when your nickname has the word "alcamoholic" in it???
(ok, i appreciate the simpsons reference... but not enough)
when u insist on emailing me, "u wont know until u get to know me", and i say "ok, what can u tell me?"... telling me that u like dogs and eating schnitzel doesnt help!
im not into this... i dont want to meet anyone... why did i even decide in the first place that i wanted to open myself up to anyone?
i feel like ive wished on the fabled Monkey's Paw... "i want some boy excitement"... i put the thought out there, and i got it, and now i want it gone
i feel like shouting out to all of these online daters "maybe u dont really want this! have u totally forgotten that rejection is a bitch to deal with?"
i said last time that i need this "project" to distract me from the real world... its not holding up its end of the bargain at the moment

Murphy's Law of internet dating
belated entry for the 16th October as i was too stupidly drunk last night to think :lol:
its funny, ever since doing this i've been so much less lonely than before, and it has nothing to do with the site! i've been hitting the town, doing new things, making new friends...
and surprise surprise, things in the real world are catching my eye :lol:
Murphy's Law of internet dating - as soon as u decide to take the plunge and look online, people walk into your "real" life
hehehe
so to be honest, right now, my enthusiasm for this whole escapade is at an all time low... all i want it to do for me now is distract me from what i want in the real world that i cant have |

one week in
so my first official day as an online romance searcher was the 9th October, making this one whole week down
stats so far
hits: 94 (altho a few of those doubled up so lets say 91)
emails: 2
added me to their favourites: 9
compared to your usual week spent getting out and about in the real world thats quite a lot of action :lol: its amazing what can happen when u put it out there, "hello! im looking!"
maybe thats what we need when we hit the town, a big sign on our back or a flashing neon light that basically says "u can approach me, im open to it"
but considering the number of positive replies ive given out, maybe thats not such a good idea... most of the attention ive received would be entirely unwanted IRL
i think (ok, i know, and have already mentioned this) that its time to bite the bullet and make further contact... there are a few guys there waiting for my email, i should just do it... im scared tho :lol:
im so used to rejection that im convinced thats how this will pan out too, rejection or hiding, they're my bags :lol: so much easier just to look and talk about it and then make an excuse and run away... and to pay for the contact and then suffer the rejection, well that would just put the icing on my cupcake
Dear Boys That I Email,
I am going to drill you something fierce. I am going to judge your every word and every spelling mistake and form ridiculous misconceptions about you based on this. I'm going to fiddle fart around and eventually give you some half-assed excuse about why it wouldn't work. We are not going to meet.
From Bumba
PS. and il only be doing that to hide my sorry ass and keep it safe

another day...
... another 12 prospects
and again, not super impressed, but also again, its getting more and more interesting
there was the stupidly cute little 21 year old hitting me up, we were nice back to him (why the hell not?) :lol:
the "nice profile, good luck with your search" that i responded to with a "maybe friends?" type message, because he seems like a genuinely cool person
and a random email from someone with no photo, but i found myself responding semi enthusiastcially... i have no idea why... lets see if it becomes apparent
a friend of mine had a look at my profile today and he wrote back to me exclaiming that it was perfect, it was me all over, it shows my personality perfectly, etc etc... he also said that it was guaranteed to weed out all the boring people and draw in the interesting ones
i responded by saying "it seems to be doing the opposite" :lol:
everyone that i have found vaguely interesting so far has ignored my little attempts to say hi, whilst the men that are hitting me up are so far removed from "my type" that its not funny...
... until today maybe
maybe there are a few gems to be found here?
after all, im doing it
hehehe
;)

hitting up the same
slow day today, not just dating action-wise but thought-wise as well... today im just really really tired of it all
again, just like real life!
:lol:
this is almost like hitting up the same pub every fri night, you know who you're going to see, you know who's going to hit on you, and you know you're going to spend all night making secretive eyes at your latest crush who has no idea who u are and doesnt really want to because he's wrong for you!
*deep breath*
hehehe
im going to have to send an email to my one positive response... cant keep putting it off.... maybe tomorrow ;)
ps. tally for today = 11

vast...
... the difference between our lifestyles
vast... the gap between my words and your comprehension
vast... the distance i want to put between us when u insist on getting my number with me knowing nothing about you!
Mr Insistent is at it again, why cant we exchange numbers?
i know nothing about him as a person, i dont want to meet up with someone who gives me no clue as to their personality (altho maybe therein lies the clue), my attempts to draw something out of him are yielding nothing, i dont think i want to meet this guy
why can't we exchange numbers??
im trying to resist the urge to tell him its because he cant spell "vast"
:lol:
(no thats not true... it cant be true... altho it certainly doesnt help)
i think il respond to him tomorrow when im a little less tired and semi-snappy :lol:
9 interested parties this Sunday, and i actually responded to 2 of them in a semi-interested sort of manner... and someone that i sent a "hey, nice profile" message to actually responded... are things starting to look up?
im still pretty certain that all i want to do is hide behind my computer screen and never follow thru with anything, but hey, u never know... i seem to moving along the process one step at a time, you've signed up, might as well browse... you're browsing, might as well say hi... they've said hi back, now u gotta email...
but Mr Responded is actually going to have to wait for his email, because there is no way im going to convince myself to fork out more cash for the nerve wracking experience of writing to a total stranger 3 days before pay day :lol:
when im cashed up... maybe wont seem like such a big deal
will keep u posted, but of course ;)

more of a plunge
so after my cynical little rant last night i thought that maybe i should stop being a cranky bitch and try to use the site for what its meant, for what i am apparently trying to do!
so i started browsing profiles, looking closer at ones that catch my eye, "add to favourites" anyone who might be interesting... im sure u can imagine what its like scrolling through pages and pages of pictures, everytime u get to the bottom of one u think "i wonder what il see on the next one?", and before u know it you've scrolled past.... wait for it... 2,000 profiles
yes, 2,000 profiles, and out of all of them i picked 7 for my shortlist
this is partly because a lot of profiles dont have a pic u can glance at straight away... and partly because im a picky bitch
so, i have 7 profiles that maybe hold some promise, and to get their attention im going to have to pay up... i figure $15 isnt too large a sacrifice, and now i have unlimited hits on hand... lets get in touch...
and the ridiculous part is that even in online life i dont have the balls to say to someone "hey, not bad, lets talk"... i went for the friendly option, basically "your profile looks good, kudo's, that's all"... i figure i be nice, they take a look, then maybe they pick the bull up by the fcuking horns and suggest a chat because heaven forbid i should expose myself to rejection from someone i have never seen and never have to worry about seeing :lol:
and i know u bastards have received my little nudge, i can see that you viewed my profile!!
do i get a hollar back??
nein
:(
October 11 yielded 21 hits, to all of which i have responded with a kind "thanks but no thanks"... and to all that caught my eye i have either played it too casually or inspired no return interest in them whatsoever... the parallels between my online dating life and my IRL dating life are scaring me

the setting of Day Two
ok, day two.... and to be honest i really have nothing to report :lol:
the copious amounts of red wine i drank last night have rendered me absolutely exhausted and useless all day long, im cranky, im tired, and to be quite honest i am perfectly happy sharing my space with a stuffed toy and a cat tonight
i received another 10 hits today from interested men... the way this all works is that you can send/receive a hit (thats going to be my word for it), sending costs (i think) but if u receive u can reply for free... if u fork out for an email its like having unlimited chat time between the two of u for a period
when u reply to a hit u choose from a variety of set phrases ranging from "you're awesome lets email" to "i really dont think its going to work"... out of my 36 responses one of them has been something along the lines of "hey, appreciate it, look forward to hearing from u again" and said response was inspired by this guys pretty impressive taste in music, followed by his very decent taste in movies, and backed up by the fact that he's a pom, so i know that if we were to ever meet up for chats id always be able to close my eyes and listen to his accent and be guaranteed a semi decent time... have yet to hear anything back from that avenue
and ive had an email, emails are obviously more full on than just a show of interest, there is actual dialogue involved... may or may not be a good thing, depending on what the other person has to say :lol:
and i have to say, i really dont think this one paid real close attention to my profile before he hit it... so you're a non-smoker, you're into sports, and exercise, and Top 40, and you despise KFC... dude, what do you want with me???
but this one isnt too bad looking actually, so we dont say no straight away, i take advantage of the open line and i begin a conversation... straight away he hits me up for a phone call and a drink, and considering im not even sure if that will ever happen during my one month stint, of course im not saying yes on day 2... so i tell him straight up that "i dont really want calls or meetings until i know that i'll get along with someone ok... i personally think our personalities might clash a bit"... i ask him his thoughts and pretty much get nothing in return, just a whole heap of "be nice its my bday" and "u only live once"
if u cant converse with me, even substitute innernet converse with me, i dont want to meet u... il get bored, il say something crazy, and you'll get confused and frown but u wont leave straight away cos you'll still be hoping u might get laid
cynical much?
and that guy isnt even the worst of them, seriously, if i can give u all one piece of advice (drawing on the infinite wisdom gained from my 2 days exploring the site) its that
- guys, make your username and profile interesting, girls pay attention
- girls..... just put up a photo
if i specifically state that i despise country and western and u "like country and rock most", im thinking u didnt read my profile
if i have an abundance of foreign films in my favourites, im probably not suited to someone who likes "horror action and movies with storie line"
if i tell u that a pet hate of mine is people getting the word "amok" wrong, maybe u should try not to misspell "vast"
and seriously guys... one of my "special talents" is fitting myself into large baskets... one of my "bad habits" is fitting myself into large baskets... there is a picture on my profile of me half inside a large basket... your ideal partner is "anyone normal" as you tend to "meet alot of weirdos for some reason"... i think its because you're not paying fcuking attention to who you're hitting on!!!
for people like you we have the automated response "maybe u should read my profile again, i am not what u are looking for"
:lol:
well whatta u know, maybe i do have something to report :lol:
ok, officially the end of Day Two and we've had 36 offers, none of them quality... stay tuned :lol:

Day One as an online dater
its a little (ok, maybe a lot) ironic that i have spent my first evening as an online dater out, with an absolute gentleman of an acquaintance, having happy times to the point of tears... yet here i am, drunk and happy with pie in belly after witnessing one of the most amazing performances i have ever seen, full of food both good and drunken, full of red wine that didnt come in a cask (LOL), moved to tears not once but twice tonight by feelings that i think a good percentage of the population wont even know exist
god help me, i sound like ive been on a date
:lol:
so whats the big deal? if friends and food and beautiful music can make me so damn happy that i cry, whats the go with the man stress??
when i think about it, tonight nearly didnt happen... its actually a miracle of chance and circumstance that it did... i checked my hotmail which i rarely do, Inga Liljestrom is playing in just over 24 hours, i put out the word to my online community, not expecting a response but one person (whom i havent seen in years) does... and because of that i found myself having the most amazing uplifting experience that ive had in a long long time... so close... it happened by chance
chance and circumstance
isnt that also what the whole "meeting someone" dealy boils down to???
;)
(but dont we also tend to get a whole lot more anxious about "meeting people" than "happy friend times" sometimes)
so basically, as far as my first day of online dating goes, i have had 26 "kisses" (i guess u could call them shows of interest) one of which i have responded to in a casual "maybe" kind of manner (he has pretty good taste in music), one of which i might respond to when i get bored, the rest to which i will have to say "thanks but no"... i have had a shit load of red wine with some lovely food and lovely company... and i have had the honour of witnessing one of the most amazingly moving voices i have ever come across... and altho it has nothing to do with my little social experiment i urge u (anyone who might be reading) to track down Inga Liljestrom
Day One - bumba goes to bed happy due to a completely unrelated matter

a penny drops...
half a day into my experimental month and a penny drops... it clicks with me what im doing and what it means... im freaking out a little :lol:
amazing how even just admitting that you're lonely can be shrouded in stigma, we're all so freaking strong and happy... im not lonely! i dont need a partner! as if i want someone holding me back! im fine the way i am!!!
but there is no denying that we all have our lonely moments, whether or not we actually want to shack up and settle and reproduce... i am far from ready to shack up and settle down and reproduce (probably for the good of the nation, hehehe)... but there is something that i feel like im missing out on sometimes, yes... thats so hard to admit :lol:
and i wonder if maybe its the fact that we can't admit that we're lonely that perpetuates the loneliness? maybe i do such a damn good job of looking content and not desperate that i actually scare away any interest?
and now here i am, advertising my "seeking" status to the nation, my profile picture lined up alongside all the others on the shelf, ready to be picked... do i want to be that person? if im doing it then it must be ok, so why do i look at my potential suitors through dubious glasses?
these people want to meet me... how do i feel about that? and am i actually going to meet them? strike up conversations with complete strangers because we both share the feeling of being lonely?
maybe im not the same as u... maybe im not that bad... maybe im scared out of my wits...
this is doing my freaking head in :lol: |

RSVP: within one month!
so im rapidly approaching 30... which is totally fine, ive actually been looking forward to turning 30 for quite some time now :) i feel like im finally feeling comfortable in my own skin, i havent felt this good since my innocent ego was crushed by starting high school more than 15 years ago :lol:
im single... and again, thats totally fine, i love my friends, i love my job, i love where im living, and my cool car, and my good times... people around me are starting to settle down and get married but im not ready for that right now... hell, i may never end up married, and if thats the case then thats just the way my cookie has crumbled and il live my life and still be happy
my little sister is getting married, 22 years old she is... being the maid of honour i have to plan her hen's night, im making her veil, finding a makeup artist, and i am so excited about getting all dressed up and being a part of her day :D
all of these things are fine in themselves... but if u put them all together, when you're feeling a bit low maybe, they can start to do your head in :lol:
30 years old... your sister is 22 and has found someone who wants to spend the rest of his life with her, and how many relationships have u had in the last 10+ years? would u like to know? in more than 10 years, i have spent less than one of them officially "in a relationship"
nothing wrong with that
but think about it, apart from that "less than a year" spent "in a relationship", there has been another... *thinking*... lets say a year, in which i have spent "seeing people", u know, getting to know someone... some form of interest... some sort of togetherness
and again, nothing wrong with that
but seriously, tell me that any of u out there could sit down and look back on those sort of stats and help yourself from thinking "what the fcuk is wrong with me???"
:lol:
recently i came to a decision, i said to my flatmate "i think its time for some boy excitement in my life"... life is good, career moving along, awesome apartment, happy fun times, i think its about time that there was someone to share some of that with... not forever, not completely, and probably not even the one boy (and im talking about brevity here not polygamy :lol: ) but its about time that something exciting happened in the boy department
now obviously, if it was that easy to just have boy excitement in your life i wouldnt be in the position where i was saying "i want some boy excitement in my life"... its not as if im a complete hermit, i socialise, i go to pubs, clubs, sporting events... dance classes... grocery shopping :lol: im quite often out there, and exposed to the world, and........ no boys
so i decided that maybe all i had to do was put the thought out there into the universe and it would happen, if u build it they will come :lol:
no, no deal
so if a girl decides that she wants some new man action in her life, and she has exhausted all of the usual social avenues, and the sheer force of her will is not enough to draw the excitement to her, what else is left but to bitch and moan about it to her online community, and it was there that i was inspired to try *gulp* internet dating
yes ladies and gentleman, bumba is now officially a member of a well known internet dating site, and it is my plan to throw myself into it for one whole month and report back on a daily basis
the good, the bad, and the ugly of the online meat market
:lol:
it begins here peoples
RSVP: within one month!

sounds good, il have one
here i go again with a completely random and isolated entry :lol:
so i went to KFC right, but with a twist... KFC in London... yep, bumba is in London
(only for another 5 days or so, its just a little holiday)
so i really felt like a snack, KFC nuggets to be exact, so off to KFC i went... now in London they dont appear to have nuggets, they have freaking baked beans (i kid u fcuking not) but no nuggets... not that i could see anyway, im perusing the menu, searching searching searching for my semi-satisfying snack (couldnt ruin my appetite for dinner), and really, besides the fact that someone taking a minute to scan the menu before deciding is a completely normal occurence, and sometimes waiting for someone to decide is part of your fcuking job, besides all that, the place was empty... u had nothing better to do!
so im scanning the menu, the bastard i looking a little impatient, i mention that i dont quite know what i want, he asks (rather disdainfully) if i need help, no its all good, almost done.... and he walks away... just as im about to ask a question... get him back, and i ask:
bumba: approximately how big are your mini fillet burgers?
KFC twat: no idea
bumba: im sorry?
KFC twat: no idea
bumba: sounds good, il have one
and he proceeds to make my mini fillet burger himself from a little station right beside him... the buns are right beside him... how can he not tell me how fcuking big they are?
no wonder im putting the wheels in motion to possibly piss off to Berlin rather than play out the remaining 5 days :lol:
I LOVE U AUSTRALIA!

true world
"'He believed in a true world. A world behind this one, that shines through it, like a candle through a lampshade'
.... She thought about the true world, the times they had seen it - it was like light glinting on the surface of the river, that shimmering quality when you saw it. It wasn't the thing itself. It was your own ability to see it. Like the nights they lay in bed listening to the mockingbirds sing. Or the time they knelt by the river, and the blue heron came walking out of the reeds. The feeling when time stopped, and you could stay there forever. 'You see the beauty inside everything. It doesn't last long - it's either gone in a minute, you just caught it, or else maybe it's something so big that you normally can't get your head around it. Like the fog in your head clears out. The world stops being a puppet show and you see the real thing. It's probably like that all the time, but you just can't see it, except for those little glimpses.'"

a really good fare
wow... long time!
i was starting to worry id never come back, thought id lost the urge forever!
turns out that all i needed was for someone to really get my goat and inspire me to get my bitch on
so here we go ;)
i finished a dance class tonight (ive been dancing ! yay!), walked out about 10:30pm, and it was a pretty exhausting class (cos im piss weak)... but ive been spending so much money on cabs... but its cold and im kinda tired... but by the time i walk to the station to catch a train to nth sydney and walk another 20 min home, i couldve just walked to nth sydney... thinking thinking thinking, calculating distances, gauging the feel of my feet, just kept walking, and all of a sudden im heading over the bridge and on my way home
half hour later im at nth sydney and my feet feel crap, and its late, so i saw a cab rank and walked up to the first one and asked him, thru his window, cos i knew it was only a short ride (5 mins), do u mind taking me to blah blah blah?
he says fine, i jump in
i've been in the cab about 10 secs when he says to me "madam, i just want to tell you for the future, i mean i dont mind taking u, i'll still take u, but for the future, when u see the taxi rank, but u only want to go a short distance, there are plenty of taxis driving past that u can blah blah blah blah..."
bumba: im sorry, shall i get out?
twat: no i dont mind taking u, please dont be offended, crapping on with a stupid accent, blah fcuking blah
bumba: i asked u if it was ok, i gave u the chance to say no
twat: still carrying on, apologising, means no offense, but he was sitting there waiting for a really good fare
*silence for a while*
twat: starts up again
bumba: eventually shuts him up by saying 'id like to end this conversation now'
and we got to my place, and the stupid thing is, i was planning on giving the cabbie a tip, because i know short trips are a pain... let him keep the change, and if its not much, throw in a little more... i sat there patiently and collected every cent of my change
:lol:
im sorry sir, i dont mean to offend, but just so u know, for the future... shut your stupid mouth and u wont lose your tip!
hehehe

the bystander effect
so ive just finished Psych 1B, well... sort of...
there's an assignment yet to be handed in, and i guessed a good 40% of the final exam (god bless multiple choice), i could still fail it... but thats not the point... the point is, Psych 1B, one of my modules was Social Psychology
whilst doing social psych i learned all about the bystander effect
the way the bystander effect works is, the more people around to witness an emergency, the less likely the person in need will receive help... seems a bit backwards, but basically the more people there are to put the responsibility on, the less responsible each person feels
and there's the normative theory which says that seeing someone else model a helping behaviour makes it more likely that someone else will then help, and the 5 step model to initiating help, you've got to notice the emergency, decide it is an emergency, decide u should be the one to help, etc etc
everyone gets scared of misinterpreting the event, over-reacting, not doing the proper thing...
and so the odds of someone stepping in and helping when u need it are pretty slim
(google Kitty Genovese and you'll see what i mean, she's what inspired the research)
i learned all this, and i became determined not to succumb to it all, im not going to be that person who thinks 'someone else can take care of it' or 'surely its not that bad'
so tonight, i wander out onto our rooftop terrace, having a cigarette, and i hear shouting... could be a plain old argument... could be a domestic... could even be laughter... my ears perked up, and i thought about trying to figure it out, and then i got cold, and my mind wandered, and the yelling died down, and to be honest i dont even know what happened, all of a sudden i had come back downstairs and forgotten about it and gotten myself sucked into a cheesy movie
so lets say an hour and a half has passed, movie has ended, i go back onto the roof for another cigarette... i hear it again... a woman sobbing, yelling, i dont know what but its not cool... i jumped our fence so im actually on the roof of the other apartments, making my way to the edge where i can see/hear better, ive got my phone in my pocket, so if i think there's a domestic il be calling the police... about 30 secs later a cop car comes and eventually stops in front of this apartment block diagonally across and about 3 down
thank god someone decided to pay attention and call
i watched for a while, came back downstairs, went back up and out onto the roof again, and i see an ambulance pull up
i feel so fcuking guilty :(
an hour and a half minimum, something was going on, to the point where an ambulance is needed, and if i had stuck my nose in when i first heard it they wouldve gotten help an hour and a half sooner :(
whilst writing this i checked again and they were gone, so i dont know the state of whoever was in trouble... maybe thats best, i feel bad enough as it is
basically i wanted to share that, and show everyone that it is your responsibility to help if u can... dont turn a blind eye... it might be a simple yelling match, it might be something more serious, at the least the cops will tell them to keep it down and no harm has been done, at the worst....
there have been times in my life when shit has been bad, real bad, and ive been so scared that the people around me might not get out of it ok (read: alive), and then all of a sudden the police are there and ive been so thankful that someone butted in and called them.... and now, for me to be the non-reactive bystander... im gutted
god i hope everyone is ok

the hair hostess
so its friday night, and surprise surprise, im meant to be studying
and again, surprise surprise, i managed to find something to distract me from what im meant to be doing
tonight it was dyeing my hair
see, it was on the brain, and i knew id keep thinking about it, and wouldnt be able to get into my report, so i thought it best to just get it over with ;)
i swear, i can justify my way out of (and into) just about anything... i should be studying law, not psych
anyway, dyeing my hair
im reading the instructions, and there's this disgustingly perky chick on the sheet, she's cool, she's calm, she's smiling... she's the air hostess of hair dye... u wouldnt think she was at risk of plummeting towards the earth in a flaming tube, or emerging from the bathroom with a head full of purple hair... she's happy... she's confident... she's perfect
she has perfectly neat hair, perfectly positioned applicator bottle, perfect bloody goofy smile blazing toward the camera... and she's wearing a perfectly white t-shirt
:-/
for those of u that havent seen it before, that's bumba "irrationally angry" face
:-/
what on earth were these people thinking?
you do not wear a white t-shirt whilst dyeing your hair!
it simply does not happen!
i find the idea of a falling plane full of panicky people sitting quietly in their seats, fitting their own masks perfectly before attending to their children, calmly following the indicators to their nearest exit and unquestioningly stepping out onto the fcuking wing more believable than a chick dyeing her hair in a white shirt with a big happy smile on her face
i think that dyeing your hair near anything white is more dangerous than flying
my god
:lol:
in fact, i thik i can safely blame that stupid pamphlet for what happened last time bumba decided to dye her hair this colour
(what happened was bumba dyeing not only her hair brown, but her face, neck and back)
who is seriously going to believe that their skin tone is at risk when the hair hostess is happily squirting dye all over her head whilst wearing white???
(wish id thought of that when it happened... i couldve complained and scored some freebies)
