Since when did raspberry sorbet become a hair color?

The strive to be unique nowadays is becoming extreme. People stretch, ink, dye, cut, and pierce anything nowadays in order to look different. Why harm your body like this, and go through blood, sweat and tears in order to look different?

We tend to want to look unnatural, almost theatrical. What happened to the natural dumb blond? The brilliant brunette? The bashing black and the sexy red head? Nowadays our streets are covered with a My Little Pony color scheme- Anything from raspberry sorbet, to bubble gum blue and pistachio. I feel like I am in an ice cream salon!

The strive to be unique has become conventional, and the idea of "different" and what it entitles has become a mainstream ideology, in my eyes. Yet, I must admit, this "phenomena" of being different in more ways nowadays, has not excluded me. Oh no, we are definitively friends. Yet, nothing too extreme, no ice cream colored hair for me!

We must stand out in today's world. With a population that keeps increasing and increasing, and with the competitiveness in our society, this gives a dangerous cocktail, which results in our "unique" generation we have today. Parents shall not complain too much, before this is a natural reaction we have in our "monotone" society. We want to spunk out!

We all want to be remembered, and your look happens to be your business card. We invest tons of money in our image, we boil our brain picking a perfect Friday night outfit, and we consciously kill our dyed hair each time touching up the roots, or picking another ice cream flavor, knowing you will soon lose your Pony manes!

The idea of beauty has changed over time, it is not the curvy Marilyn Monroe no more, it has become a boxy, androgynous, short haired English man in New York. And that's fine by me. Yet, I won't pursue that look because I still believe in the feminine sexiness that shan't be hidden under such uniform.

I find it important in the fight against the mainstream, to not become mainstream. If everyone turns around and starts believing and doing what you do, then what's the point?
I won't fight popular taste. Popular taste tastes good because it is liked and chosen by many for a reason. Yes, you might be vanilla at the end of the day, but then just add some sprinkles or disco balls to make it more fun.
