New look

I decided that with the move to a new town, I am going to do a new look.  I have lived the last eleven years one way and I am going to try something new.  Not that there was anything wrong with the old look, I am quite pretty with the old look. 


So I have had basically long hair for 12 years not counting the months when I rocked the baldy, and admit it, I rocked it most of the time, I have had hair that went well past the middle of my back.  At first doing it was a rebellion because although my mother let me express myself with braids, she insisted I keep them fairly short.  When i turned 18 I began wearing them as long as I could and I thought I looked good.  I was the woman in the summer who had masses upon masses of hair and was fine with it.

Yeah, not so fine right now.  Four day of ninety plus degree heat has taught me that long hair is not necessarily a good thing and straggling hair and buckets of sweat do not a pretty Dette make.  SO on the advice that I trim the matted end, I kinda went up further... I chopped it to my shoulders (RELAX!! I am talking about the braids I already had)  They aren't matted anymore, they flow ncely and the curls bounced back.  I think this length makes me look my age but not older or younger.  I like it...

Secondly I have always thought my eyes were the best part of me.  But by that I meant the shape.  To be very honest, I hate my brown eyes.  They do nothing for me.  My dad described them as beer bottle brown once in my youth and it stuck with me.  Every time I look at the color of my eyes I see beer bottle.  Hell I even give my sim green or blue eyes when I am making myself or I will give generations of sims grey, blue, and green and then give my father brown and let sim genetics tromp all over his.

Anyway, got off track there... I went to the hair supply store and get this!  They sell colored contacts that are the exact same that you get from the doctor except you don't have to have a prescription and you dont' have to pay the 99 dollar eye exam few for them.  I wanted grey, but of the colors they had I only liked purple and blue and I chose blue.  I plan t get purple, topaz and green before I move to NC.

So the result is the picture that I posted on my facebook.  I am happy, I am cooler (degrees speaking) and I  think I look more my age that I ever have.  I will post a picture here so you all can see...  You tell me...

So what do you think? 

I have to sign off, I am taking my kids to the city tonight to be with their grandmother for a week. 

Single and blogging is living with the heat...
