Just because you get a few grey hairs doesn’t mean you are getting old. Taylor Hicks hair started going grey at the age of twenty and Steve Martin had completely white hair by the age of thirty.
If, just as a random example, a thirty two year old male blogger noticed three white hairs in his beard yesterday morning; it wouldn’t mark the beginning of his inevitable slide into decrepit old age would it? Going bald is one thing, but going bald and grey would be most disagreeable. Surely it would be just a freak of nature rather than any kind of portent of a retreating youthful vitality?
All this is purely hypothetical of course.
On another note I’ve been playing with photoshop recently. This photo is a result of me trying to fake a method of trying to fake a method to produce fake model village photographs. Or something like that, the whole thing confuses me to be honest.
Anyway this is a real street in our village that I have photoshopped to look like a fake model street. Or possibly it’s the other way around. I can’t remember now. Oh god, you don’t think its senility setting in do you?

And it does kind of look like a model village. It’s a bit Thomas The Tank Engine. Very pretty.

I started going grey when I was …. 19 !!! Yes. 19. Just like my mom.
Surprisingly (or not) it was the same year I got married.
So I blame hubby.
If it weren’t for hairdye, I would have been completely grey years ago.
Cool job on the Photoshop.

My current state of denial won’t let me comment on the grey hair. I’m sure you’re mistaken and it was bad lighting. Yeah. That’s it.

I used to pull dark hairs out of my head when I was young and very blonde. At least being a true blonde – even with a little help these days means you don’t have to worry about grey.
Yep you did a great job of the fake model street. Why would you want to do that or did I miss THAT blog?

Now that he’s got several grey hairs along his temple I *love* it. Now me being blonde it’s hard to find grey hairs but I actually can’t wait. I want to have long flowing grey hair…no hair dye in my future.
At least that’s what I say now.

Miss Britt – It’s a pretty easy effect to do. I got the tutorial from here: http://www.recedinghairline.co.uk/tutorials/fakemodel/
Rol – It makes Rol look distinguished, It makes Rol look distinguished, It makes Rol look distinguished. No, not helping.
Ed – The problem with shaving my beard is that then people will be able to see my face
Arjan – Nope it was a real street. At least I think it was.
Maureen – Grey when you are 19 you can put down to being aquirk of nature. In your thirties it just means you are getting old
CamiKaos – Yes Private Fazier
Arjan – So it’s you I have to blame!
Xbox4NappyRash – There’s always a bright side I suppose.
Jeff S – Now I’ve noticed one I keep finding new ones. It’s not fair I tell you.
JenK – Thanks for the link, that’s a really cool blog.
Gail – Why would you want to do the photo. Erm… I don’t know. Come to think of it my entire life has been completely pointless. Thanks for that Gail. You’ve wrecked my entire day.
Becky – Yours are rather more impressive than mine.
Jason – It’s all right for you, you don’t have any hair!
Chick – I can’t dye my beard though. You women have absolutely everything easier than us men.
Oli – My beard is not multicoloured damn you.
Joe – Trust me, you don’t want to see me clean shaven
Kristina – Bloody hippies.
Above average Joe – Yeah but I’m balding AND greying
Whit – Yes but you are really old so that’s just natural for you.
Holmes – it was somewhere between two clicks and two weeks.
