 CS> I do too and it looks *fantastic* on me.  I was graced with that
 CS> perfect grey/platinum shock at the sides that men have which makes a
 CS> perfect swirl of distinction.  I would *never* color this out.

Mine has strands of white all through... but they don't seem to show as
much to others as they do to me... I quit worrying about them years ago,
though, when I noticed that the white ones come out in the comb with the
same proportion to the brown ones as they appear on my head...  And I
also have no intention of ever coloring it... ;)

 CS> I get women asking me how I managed to color the rest and leave that
 CS> part alone and just laugh.  It's natural.  Elvira sort of offset in the
 CS> hair instead of evenly greying all around.  Not that the rest doesnt
 CS> have some, but this one part from the temples stands out quite nicely!

They're just jealous...  

 CS> Tomorrow I turn 49 and life couldnt be better!

Happy birthday!  :)  (and I'm catching up enough that I'm almost on time
for it, too!  )
