Dying Bleach Blonde Hair

Bleaching My Hair & Dying it Purple, Red, Blue

Bitch Brunch at Mangrove Mattie's

Fifteen women plus myself went for brunch at a fabulous restaurant called Mangrove Mattie’s. The third quarterly meeting of the women beautiful who understand. We all need ventilation of our feelings. Our men call it bitching. In complete yet amiable indifference, this gathering took on the name of “Bitch Brunch”.

I took on an end seat at our long banquet table due to having a head cold and hoping to minimize exposure to others. The woman next to me had just quit smoking. The one across from me lamented losing the second daughter who moved out of town with a grand baby in tow. We all sympathized.

There were three of us that filled seats at that end who didn’t have anything to complain about. Could that be because we were too busy stuffing our mouths with the fabulous brunch items from the buffet? Or did we all feel a certain contentment about our lives?

Across the table a little blonde woman was grateful to have survived cancer. The one to the left of me was happy and in love.

She had found a stray pup of a man who is grateful for her presence in his life. And judging by her gracious and serene countenance, I could easily understand why her significant other seems to be in high spirits as well.

The star of the brunch, it seemed, was an elderly black woman with sun bleached white hair, and lots of finesse.  I’m still dying to find out her age.

The only black person, she was in the midst of southern company.  Her presence there was a marker. Intellectually sharp, Betty’s imprint of refinement gave the rest of us younger women something to model ourselves after.

Betty was funny and poised when the windy day blew her dress up in the parking lot.

We all got a laugh when she said it was o.k. about the wind as a few of us valiantly stepped up to help her get her dress back down.
 
Not to worry, she had just gotten several pairs of new panties that no one else ever gets to see she joked.

Later she was sidestepped into a corner for advice. The woman who was distraught about her daughter moving had cornered Betty to seek wise council. Although, I don’t have photos, I can offer the perspective of “misty water color memories,” to compensate for this.

Our “Bitch Brunch” became all the center of attention at Mangrove Mattie’s.   We were an intriguing group of women who were all so comfortable with one another. People in the seats next to us queried. I got to brag about being the honorary snowbird, most grateful at having been invited to the “Bitch Brunch.”
