Men were a little less likely to dye their hair, considering it a sign of vanity, but a fashion in the Imperial age was to dust one's hair with gold dust.

Of the emperor Commodus, the 'Historia Augusta' - if it can be deemed trustworthy - has this to say: "His hair was always dyed and made lustrous by the use of gold dust."

After all of the work to his bust - he still looks *nothing* like Joaquin Phoenix.

After several years of much below average rainfall here in Northern California, we finally got a very decent amount this winter so far. I therefore decided to pay Uvas Canyon a visit to check out its many waterfalls last weekend. And I was not dissapointed.
