La Gringa Novela 2015, episode two:  “Dyed my hair red, it’s the stylish new look”.

Paris, france. Hello again,  Francisco Delegado De Gaulle with our premier edition of La Gringa Novela with Beautiful Binacka Blanco, now with our episode two “Dyed my hair red, it’s the stylish new look”.

This episode I will talk about the color of my hair, or shall I say my dyed red hair. The color red is actually a very attractive, in my opinion it’s a very eye-catching, and human eyes usually go to red. Now this rule doesn’t really apply to everyone, because red hair doesn’t look good on every one that is why I suggest wearing a red dress instead.

Look here in my hood I suspect that most barrio women who dye their hair red do it because it’s attention-getting, and because that suits their personalities, if they even have one.

Well this is how my story starts. I do all my shopping on our side of the tracks, but once in a while I get this wild hair up my nose and go shopping at those larger stores across the tracks. Well one day I came across the most outrages passion cherry red color dye and decided to buy the whole kit.

As I sat home all next day working on my new look, that outrages passion cherry red dye and trying not to ruin my bathroom sink and floor I gentle worked that into my hair and following them instructions, I told myself I will be the only one in the hood looking extravagance, stylishness, glamour’s and ready to attract that mate, you know because the color red is the color of passion, I told myself.

I didn’t come out of my home for a few days waiting for this new look to sink in and made sure that it looked as real as possible.  You know something like when you cook beans, for some reason they taste better a few days later. But yet this awful thought back of my head told me that there was no freaking way that any of “las chicas” I have talked about would darn to go across the tracks and purchase this high price, high styling color dye nevertheless this outrages passion cherry red.

But as we all know our barrio never lets us down, never the less those Latinas, Chicanas, Tejanas known as my friends,knowing  how bad they want to be me, look like me, act like me, dress like me, it’s an never ending challenge, and of course this is the case here.

 

As I prepare to go out that evening, I looked at my new look and told myself there aren’t no way anyone I know can out match me, never the less match my hair color. Oh yea. But as I sat in my kitchen eating my dinner and decide to read my daily newspaper I read something more shocking that a heart attack. I found out that the outrages passion cherry red color dye kit, the one that made me look like one of a kind, had gone on sale half price and was sold one in less than one hour, that’s what the paper said.

Oh my god I told myself, looking out my kitchen window very carefully and hoping not to notice anyone all of a sudden having that outrages passion cherry red color dye hair! But like I said earlier we all know our barrio never lets us down, never the less those Latinas, Chicanas, Tejanas known as my friends,knowing  how bad they want to be me, look like me, act like me, dress like me, and a never ending challenge.

So I carefully covered my hair with a large towel and got into my car and drove to my favorite bar and excitedly wanting to show the new me. But you know that won’t happen. So when I entered my favorite club, there that small group of chica’s that love to go the same place I go and they just sit there watching me and wishing they look as good as I did. Oh my god, well they sure did, they must have gotten paid earlier this month because every single woman in the place had dye their hair that outrages passion cherry red color. I am a Gringa and this is my story, and this is my Novela.
