ONE GRAY HAIR NOT A DEATH WARRANT
This is an 8x6 limited edition, signed print on paper. EEEEEEEEEKKKK! A gray hair. One gray hair. A sign youâre old. Near death old. Guys who gray are celebrated as silver foxes. But women? Washed up. Over the hill. Undesirable. What a crock! Donât be frightened. The first gray hairs are a rite of passage. Woman or man, it says youâre older, yes. But it also says you're wiser. And, most importantly, human.
Hair color is a shallow, utterly useless and ridiculous measure of self-worth. Hair color doesnât mean anything at all, unless you decide it does, maybe by coloring it pink or purple or some other color beyond the norm.
The whole forever young thing is totally baffling. It devalues the worldâs largest demographic. Old people. You know, 40 and up. Hereâs what George Clooney said about aging and trying not to look it. (Heâs over sixty, you know, and very wise.)
âDon't try to look younger, because you'll look wrong. You dye your hair, you look wrong. You wear a bad toupee, you look wrong. You wear makeup to hide things. Get your eyes done. You look wrong.â
So deal with that one gray hair. Donât pluck it. Experts say that damages future hairs. Just be who you are and good for you if that isnât based on appearance but on things far, far more important.
The design is also available in my KetchumArt Store on cheap stuff like magnets, notebooks, and tees. Wear the tee ironically because you are in on the joke. (www.teepublic.com/ketchumart)
