Promotional



Yup, that's me, age seventeen, on my way to Senior Prom wearing the dress I had Rowan posing in a few posts down.

Look at my freakin' hair! I'd been blonde(ish) my whole life, and then one night I decided I wanted to dye it brown. Just like that. It ended up turning out almost black. It was so strange to look into a mirror and barely even recognize myself at first! By this time it had started to fade out a bit, and over the next several years I would go from brown back to blonde and then red, making pit stops at nearly every shade in between.

Oh man guys, my hair and I, we've been through a lot...it took a helluva long time and an awful lot of dollars and tears to settle on my current incarnation. I think I'll be sticking with it for a good long while.

Yes the hair...I too have had to battle the demons that live in my hair. My wife makes fun of me for it.

I've tried that kind of dark colour on my hair as well and as soon as I could I came back to my natural blond colour, cause the dark colour made me look older;)))

i don't know why, but here you resemble anna paquin (sp?). but maybe its just cause i watched the squid and the whale?

Suzy said...

yeah i have to say you look gorgeous as a brunette and i am jealous, so very jealous, of anyone who can pull off the dark and the light and have it look like she doesn't dye her hair at all. YOU BITCH.

Oh god and I now need to spend my afternoon with Noah Baumbach's genius, thanks for the reference, ebad.

Thanks dudes! This is a pretty flattering picture, but you shoulda seen me by graduation time--the ends of my hair were still almost black, and the top half was a weird faded brown color. SO BAD! Ah, whatcha gonna do...

I think it makes sense that I look a little like Ms. Paquin, because my sister (a natural brunette) looks a lot like her, and I sort of look like my sister...

And now I wanna watch "The Squid and the Whale" again too! That or "The Piano" So dark! So tragic! But I think instead I'll probably be stuck with something of the "Watch it Now" variety...

yes, being blonde/blonde(ish) is most definitely the best. i don't know if i'll ever go back.
