364 days out of the year, I love my green hair. Sure, my hair has begun to take on the texture of something not organically created by the human body. And yeah, the catcalls I receive are annoying and sometimes make my significant other try to convince me to put on his beanie for a moment of peace. At the end of the day, though, green hair is my “thing” and a couple of minor annoyances won't change that.
Then the 365th day happens. St. Patrick’s Day. The absolute worst holiday ever conceived.
Have you ever had a sweaty bar crawler covered in shamrock beads attempt to kiss you as you walked down the street? I have. Have you ever had a girl wobbling in green heels scream “LOOK, IT’S A LEPRECHAUN!” at you from across a Duane Reade despite the fact that all popular depictions of leprechauns have red hair? I have. It’s not fun for me.
So, if you must contribute to my personal hell today, can you not do it wearing one of those horrific plastic fedoras? We have lots of nice green things to make your St. Patty’s look a lot more classy than the general population’s. Click through the slideshow above and pick yourself out some cute duds that will be sure to help you avoid getting pinched during your not-so-sober festivities. I’ll just be in the comfort of my apartment, shopping for brunette wigs on eBay.![]()
