In 1960 my older brother dyed his skin green with food color on St. Patrick's day. The minute he started walking into the main corridor at high school, the principal told him to go home and don't come back til he was the "right color" Even bleach water won't take all the green away easily! So when I started high school a couple years later, I only dyed a green streak in my hair so I could hide it when I flipped my head forward and expose the green when I flipped my head backward!
When my sons were in high school in the 80's, the only thing I made them wait on were the tattoos (in case they turned 20-something & decided they wished they hadn't. Older son has six or seven and younger son has seven) and piercing anything but earlobes. Anything they wanted to try in dressing was okay if they could carry it off with the restrictive dress codes in school.
Sorry for the hijack Vamp!
