French braids cause big hurr

While it's fun to have my hair as big as this (right after I took out my french braid from yesterday, which I slept in all night), it's just not a "work look". Big hurrr like that is for the weekends, but since I don't take that many weekend pics, I thought you guys should be amused as well. Up in a bun keeps it all contained.

 So my Cosmo came today, and on the front Miley Cyrus is promising me that she's "never faked anything" underneath a giant caption that says "It's Miley, B*tches..." (asterisk theirs). I'm sorry, but Miley Cyrus is just not hardcore, Cosmo, and a bleeped curse word isn't going to convince me otherwise. Am I the only one who reads Cosmo primarily for people's embarrassing confessions? I like the cheap beauty tips too, but I get a vicious thrill out of all those stories of dumb stuff people get caught doing.

Did you know that also, according to Cosmo, the "3 words you must never say to a guy" are I look fat? But Cosmo, I AM fat. And I look it. And that's not a big deal, or a bad thing, or equal to killing a puppy or even as bad as going out without makeup. I'm fat. And Miley Cyrus is skinny. And unless she's really hiding something, a bit dumb too, but that's not the issue. Size doesn't equal beauty, or even personality. All size equals is size. So stop trying to make me hate myself! Just show me ads for some fat girl clothes, and I'll snap those babies right up. I buy more new clothes than I should, because I can't find any non-maternity plus size clothes at my local thrift stores. So let my fat wallet loose, and we'll all be happy.

My hair seems to be getting bigger and BIGGER.  Thick hair is not always everything it's made out to be in the commercials, you know. Of course, if I took more than 5 minutes to style my hair, it might be a different matter. But I'm lazy and not really possessed of any hair styling skills. Which is why I like it better long, so I can just twist it up out of the way when it reaches ultimate poofiness during the day.

I'm really happy with these new pants (Moleskin Cargo pants from Simply Be). They look like black dress pants, but fit like non-denim jeans. For some reason that I can't really articulate, I hate the way conventional dress pants fit. I find them supremely uncomfy, but these pants/faux jeans are nice. A little long on me, but I just need to get them slightly hemmed. The Death Cold is still hanging on, but I'm trying to power through it with the help of lots of sleep.

  This shirt was a birthday present from my mama, who knows how much I love drapey, silky t-shirts, particularly the ones with epaulettes on the sleeves! Plus, it's blue, and blue has always been my favorite color. I'm really copper/brass jewelry these past few years, after a lifetime of only silver. It must be all the steampunk books subconsciously affecting me.

 After yesterday's French braid in my hair, I just finger combed it out, used some hair oil (Orofluido), and then popped it up into a ponytail. Thus, BIG WAVES that are also vaguely controlled for work. See my pretty silver hairs? I had been hoping that more were coming, but it looks like I just have several scattered around, not streaks or anything. Boo.
