Change your look, change yourself.

What is it with the current fascinationg with makeovers in pop culture? Will changing how you appear to the world really change how people think about you? Will buying that brand of pants make your butt look smaller and will wearing your hair in that style make the guys think you're more "their type"?

I'm not sure about that, but I do know that I'm not sitting here with ridiculous heated curlers in my hair for anyone else's enjoyment but my own. I could say I'm doing it for the artistic value of possibly setting up a lovely self-portrait photography oppurtunity, but honestly. I just want to see if I can make myself look smokin' hot.

So far, at 3:20 the verdict is that these curlers are dangerous. I've already singed my scalp and I'm hoping the majority of my hair survives. I don't know how long I'm supposed to leave these things in for maximum effect, but any longer and I might go crazy. Curlers mainly make me feel old. And I feel old often enough, thank you very much.

3:25 I'm thinking maybe I could've been more patient, but the moment of truth has arrived. The curlers are coming out!

4:05 After running around my front and back yards like a chipmunk on crack, camera in hand, I have created photos both artistic and smokin' hot. Objective acheived. However, curlers took too long and burnt my head too much.

  1. Whoo. The results were simply stunning, Kim. Except for a few rebel strands, it looked pretty "smokin'".

    Ah, the never-ending chase for "perfection". How I loathe it, yet follow it faithfully.
