Monday is garbage day in Centretown and I’m a big fan of garbage day. You never know what kind of treasures you’re going to find.
I was crossing the street at Somerset and Lyon when I spotted something interesting in Top Copy’s garbage. Top Copy is that pink building that used to have the rabbit on it and the motto “We reproduce like crazy.”
I zeroed in on it, swooped down and scooped it up. It was one of those finds that you don’t know why you want it or what you’ll do with it, but there is no question in your mind that you must have it because it is an excellent and unusual find.
Without further ado, here it is – you can click the pix for a better view.
It’s one of those hair dye sample books! I can’t even tell you how thrilled I was; it was almost unnatural.
At this point I don’t know what I’m going to do with it, but I’m pretty sure it’s either going to become art or it’s going to be the subject of endless musing about how it could become art. (Suggestions are more than welcome. So far I’ve had one suggestion: create an artistic Periodic Table with it.)
My dear, you slay me. In a very good way of course.

PS I miss that motto like crazy.
You could build Duncan a multi-hued baby brother with all that hair
What a find! Perhaps you could add spit curls to posters around town?
I have no idea. Since you do like collage, maybe you can work them in that way. I think you should just let your subconscious work away on it and one day, when you least expect it, the solution will be clear.
You worry me, really you do. My advice is to put it right back where you found it. By the time you’re 80 you’re going to have a house crammed full of stuff that you thought might come in handy some day. Along with the weeds up to your rafters, you’ll officially be the crazy lady whose house little kids dare each other to approach.
…they look like cat ass toupees or bumhole covers.

Okay you guys, those are – for the most part – excellent suggestions. However I do not want to remove the spit curls from the hair book. Everything must remain intact, but with more stuff added. You know?
XUP – I love that I’m going to be that little old lady!
I was afraid you would
