“But I will not wear that gaudy orange, I will not. It is not my colour wheel and I’m not gonna wear it.” Leigh Anne Touhy to Michael Oher in The Blind Side (2009).
After all these months of lockdown, because of the pandemic, Frances Mary began to think that she was slowly fading into oblivion … and the curse of curses, she had not been able to get to her hairdresser for the past 6 months!
