red hair

I was washing my hands in the bathroom at work when one of my co-workers (an older woman) came in. She took a look at me and our conversation went something like this:

Co-worker: "OMG, what did you do to your hair!?"
Me: "I changed my color."
Co-worker: "It's bright red!"
Me: "I know."
Co-worker: Why did you do that for?"
Me: (looking at my reflection in the mirror I noticed that the lighting did make my hair look brighter) "That's the way it came out. I guess I wanted to try something new"
Co-worker: "It's too red! Oh, I don't know... you should change it, that color is what slutty girls are using!"
Me: (My jaw dropped) I guess that was the look I was foing for!
