From the minute I saw her wearing it that one season, I was like, could I [pull it off]? I’m really, really pale, I don’t know if I can get away with it,” Kathy Griffin said.
She added, “I know it’s cheesy, and I’m too old, but I’ve always wanted to try this hair color.” The comedian said she plans to keep the blonde hair for a few months and then go back to her natural hair color.
