Makeover time!

Well, my 20 year reunion is coming up this summer. I know, I can't believe it either. One day I was looking in the mirror and realized that my hair was pretty much the same as when I was in High School ... long and frizzy. I thought that if I was going to change it up, I should do it soon in case I didn't like it. My hair grows pretty fast so I thought that if I didn't like it at least it would grow a few inches and the colour can always be fixed as well.

So, I went for it. Cut off about 12 inches at the back and about 10 inches off the sides. Oh, and I went BRIGHT red! Of course when my hair dresser does it, it looks all nice and sleek and shiny. Here's the side view.

And the back view. I can't wait until it grows a bit because I think I'm going to go for even more of an angle from the back to front.

It was quite shocking at first and every time I walked past a mirror it startled me. The reactions from people have been amazing. My desk faces the door out to a long hallway and most people just say, "Hi" and wave as they walk by. Well, the next few days they'd be walking by as usual, say their hi and wave and then I heard their footsteps stop ... and backup. Then I'd hear, "Whoa!" wait a few seconds and then I'd hear, "I LOVE IT!" You know how you can tell when people are lying or just being nice or don't say anything at all because you can tell they don't like it? Either these people are all amazing liars or I think people actually really like it. After all these positive comments, I figured it was ok to go out in public (work doesn't really count as public because it's something you HAVE to do - I couldn't rightly call in sick for 2 weeks). Since it was ok to go out into the world, I went into Vanco.uver last weekend with Bren and a complete stranger told me he loved my hair. What? That hasn't happened to me in FOREVER!

I had posted the before and after pics on Fac.ebook, but I think it was Kori who said I should add the brunette picture from a year ago in with it, so here they are:

A couple people have called me brave, but really, it's just hair and it'll grow back, right? :)

This week on Fac.ebook it's been Doppleganger week. You're supposed to make your profile picture someone that looks like you. I couldn't think of anyone from before the haircut or after, but then, when I was straightening my hair the other day, it came to me ...

hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!
