no scarf!

I went without a scarf today to work - my first full day sans scarf. It's pretty darn exciting.

Yeah, I kinda suck at figuring out a smile for self-portraits. I don't really smirk like this in real life. At least I hope I don't. But I almost always do it in my self-portraits.

I desperately need to get my hair cut and have an appointment for tomorrow, but I just couldn't face another day with something on my head. So even with all its puffy-Prince Valiantness, I did it.

Here's my goofy self-portrait smile. I think I look like a chipmunk, which is why I do the smirk. It may be weird, but it's not as chipmunky. My normal smile is not chipmunky.

I did pull the left side back with a barrette, which helps with the puffiness. And I sprayed the heck out of my hair so my comb-over won't un-over.

But you have to really be looking straight down at my head to notice something odd. And even then, you'd just think I had kinda sparse hair. Or maybe that your eyes were playing tricks on you. Exactly what I was hoping for.


I don't know how boys run around with baseball caps on 24/7. My head would always get itchy by the end of the day and I would dread having after-work plans where I had to keep the scarf on. And a hat? Ugh. I had a beret-type hat that was fine in the winter, but then I got a fedora for spring and it was just sweat-city.

So, yeah, this is pretty kickass. No scarf, sunny day, non-itchy head. I'm a happy girl.
