I'm planning to do something that, I hope, will be interesting, barmy and generally good fun.
And I'm planning to share everything with you.
The test subjects: my neighbours.
I live in a capital, but my street is like a small village, and most of the old guard there has known me for all my life (which, in their minds, allows them to still treat me like a little girl - big mistake, as we shall demonstrate in the next paragraph).
The experiment: a wig.
My hair's very, very long (we're talking below my waist here) and dark red. Today, it's dark red thanks to henna because, since I caught the virus that blocked my nerve VII, I've been de-pigmenting quite a lot.
I've found a nice (and cheap!) wig. It's blond (white/blond) and quite short.
Since I'm rather fed up with the henna, I've decided to use the wig... and that's bound to make my beloved neighbour freeze and stare and comment and... many other things that I can't imagine just yet.
Of course, some of them may surprise me, but... I know them.
I'll share their reactions with you. I hope the Guinea pigs in my life lab will be entertaining.

What if the tame guinea pigs don't notice the change or go wow so much better! So glad you stopped going with that horrid red! so something like that!!! :-) BTW Trekkie, so share those old bunnies I had a giant spoke poster from Athena above my bed as a child! Mind you have signed Alan Rickman overlooking my desk!
*giggles* I know them (a tad too well). They'll be vocal - one way or another.
The red is good, but it takes time (my hair's really loooong).
I *know* there's one good short story in the old folder; I'll have to locate it and work on it. The others... I'll have to dive into the pages and check what can be recycled. I'll do that soon. ;)
Ah! Got to love Spock. :)
I had the Star Trek film poster in front of my bed.
I've got my signed Leonard Nimoy and Gene Roddenberry in my bedroom, and my desk is guarded by Leonard and Andrew Koenig...
