"A Blast from the Past"

The room erupted into a chorus of shocked gasps and bewildered murmurs as they took in Astoria's blonde locks on screen. The stark contrast between her past and present appearance was jarring, to say the least. The majority of the guests had grown accustomed to Astoria's striking red and black hair, which had become an integral part of her persona in Hell. The revelation that she had once sported a drastically different hairstyle was nothing short of astonishing. "Blonde?" Angel Dust's voice was laced with confusion. "I... I had no idea." She turned to Astoria, her eyes wide with curiosity. Charlie's grin faltered for a moment, replaced by a look of surprise. "Wait, Astoria, you... you weren't always a redhead?" he asked, his tone tinged with genuine astonishment. Vaggie leaned in, her voice barely above a whisper. "I thought for sure you came to Hell with that fiery mane of yours." She shook her head, chuckling. "I guess I was wrong." Astoria's face deepened in crimson as she struggled to find an explanation. "Uh, well... I... I dyed it," she stammered, her eyes darting around the room. Valentino Velvet's eyes sparkled with amusement. "Dyed it? Darling, you look like you've been reborn." He chuckled, shaking his head. "I had no idea you were a blonde bombshell in your youth." Rosie's expression was a mixture of fascination and affection. "I had no idea either," she said, her voice soft and gentle. "But I have to say, I kind of love the vintage look on you, Astoria." The room continued to buzz with reactions, each guest struggling to wrap their heads around Astoria's drastic transformation. Carmilla leaned in, her voice tinged with intrigue. "Tell me, Astoria, what prompted the change?" Astoria's eyes dropped, her shoulders sagging in embarrassment. "I... I don't know," she mumbled. "I just... I grew out of it, I guess." The group's attention remained fixed on Astoria, their expressions a mix of curiosity and amusement. It was clear that this revelation had left them all questioning their assumptions about her past. As the room continued to buzz with conversation, Astoria couldn't help but wonder if she'd ever be able to live down this surprise.
