dying clothes black
ok so i just got done reading "all american girl" by meg cabot.
and at one point at the beginning it says that she "e: dyed all of her clothes black "e.
i only wear black. but i wasnt always this way, so i have A LOT of clothes that are not black....including denim jeans.
and i was just wondering how you would want to do that? because there are a lot of cute non- black shirts i have that im not willing to give up just because they arent my favourite colour! how would i dye them black PERMANENTLY???
THANKS!!

Rit Dye. You can buy it at Target, walMart, etc, most likely in the laundry aisle.
I'd highly recommend only doing a couple pieces at a time, and use a 5-gallon bucket or something, and to do it outside. Otherwise you'll have a lot of explaining/scrubbing/cleaning to to.
Also, I'd advise agianst dyeing everything. Keep a couple really nice shirts to wear somewhere black would be inappropriate.
Good luck!

You can use Rit Dye. You can either get it in liquid or powdered form. Below is a link so you can see what I'm talking about, but you should be able to buy it in places like Walmart, etc.
BE SURE you follow the directions exactly. When dying clothes in your washer, BE SURE to run the washer empty with soap added when you're done to make sure the dye is rinsed out of it, or it will end up on other clothes.

That seemed a little weird to me too, but I think it's because Samantha is such an intense character that it gives her an edge in the story. She's willing to give up her cute clothes to make a statement about society, and that's pretty bold... especially if you're going to end up saving the president. I think it just sets up the story so I definitely wouldn't recommend it in real life :)
