oh, to love what you pay for . . .

So, once upon a time, I got my hair cut- I asked for chunky blunt bangs, and got WAAAAAY lots of bangs. lots and lots and lots and lots of bangs. And then- even a few more. Let me remind you . . . .
ahhh this takes me back . . . .
to this picture of me playing at my grandma's with emmy- we were playing with some house thing (it may have been a play mcdonalds set) - seriously, I wish I could find that picture! I'm pretty sure emmy has it somewhere, I'll have to see if I can get her to put it in a post . . .

This is, unfortunately, the best I can say my hair ever looked. Really, it just hung there- and the bangs! Just SO many! Usually I wore it in a ponytail with a headband holding the mass of bangs back. (Seriously- the MASS of bangs)

So, I've been wanting to get it cut for a while now- and I finally did it! I don't think I've ever LOVED a haircut as much as I like this one! I LOVE LOVE LOVE it! I did my own little photo shoot.

Last time I had that sad excuse for a haircut I thought I'd get rid of my layers, you know- try something new. Yeah, bad idea. I went back to layers, and they make such a difference!

She feathered my bangs into the layers as much as she could- so now as it grows in it'll look a little more natural. Not so much like a 'blunt bang'.

So I took a whole bunch of pics, and started playing around with picasa, trying my hand at editing.

This one doesn't look that great, but I thought for my first try it was ok!

I did get better! :)

a little more playing with the editing . . .

A little playing with soft glow

What would chelle look like with blue eyes? I thinks it looks alright . . . but I think I'll stick to green.

And I think quite possibly my favorite pic of me ever . . . .

I really liked the way this one turned out! So now that I've had my moment of vanity- I'll go back to being oh-so-humble! :)

Really, I don't usually like to post pics of me, but I had a few peeps ask me what my new haircut looked like, and I had fun playing with picasa! So yeah. I love the satisfaction of really loving what I've paid for! :)

k thats all!
