A nice cup of rabies

Oof. protocat tells me that the reason my dyejob faded so fast after AC (and never really took so well in the first place) is that blue is the really tough one, and purple can also fade fast. Blue apparently fades fast. Quality varies drastically by brand, so ask around before you choose a brand and get some advice on how long other people have had to leave theirs in to get a good effect. (Hint: SFX "Joyride" purple washes right out. I had a neat purple-and-gold effect for the con, and then it was all gone. Which is kinda lucky, I guess, since I spent the following week in Texas. :p )
