A whiter shade of pale
In response to the inevitable question, I am allowing my hair to naturally morph from its original jet black to a Jay Leno gray, without any chemical assistance or delays. But I still have all of it, thank you. And no, I am not old enough to have used macassar oil myself.
As for the doilies on that chair's arms, I suppose that's for the hair on the palms of the Victorian gentleman's hands.
