Need some opinions

I finally got a hot tip on a decent haircutter here, so I've held off on doing anything with it so I could get it done especially for the trip to Arizona and the con. Unfortunately, I have no idea what I want done with it though. A month ago, I wanted something hip and edgy and was thinking maybe black with purple stripes, but now I'm not so sure. This is the first time I've left it natural for so long and it's doing some strange thing of growing in really dark at the roots and underneat, but after an inch it's like golden brown/red. I guess it's the sun doing it?? Or the lack of dye? It's pretty strange, but kind of neat. Or I could just go my typical red color or something. Anyways, she wants to know before the appt friday so she can get the dye if need be. Here's a fairly recent picture though I'll try to get a more updated one:

It's friends only I think so if you can't see it let me know and I'll remedy that. If you have any suggestions on cut/color or anything, please share!

So that's just one of a ton of other things stressing me out. It felt like I had a panic attack coming on in the way to work, which is odd since that's not something I really have. That trip is in less than 2 weeks and I'm not sure I have adequate luggage what with costumes and dolls. I don't even know which Pullips I should take since any kind of meetup seems to have busted. Work stuff of course, my mom's wigged out about family and junk, money, traveling, I have to be on the radio tomorrow, help with a children's tour on thursday...blarg. There goes the eye twitch again.

On a positive though, since I had to clean my LR for Seri's late bday party, I now have the room to exercise again. I reaaally should've started this awhile back so I could've lost some weight for the con, but at this point, I'm just hoping to be able to keep up at the dance without gimping out on the dancefloor. Oh, I can't find my Sakura costume either. *sigh* -_-

I am the worse adviser of hair. Its always hit or miss when I get anything right. I think mainly you just need a good stylist. Cuz they'll make anything work.

Please tell me you can find that Sakura costume. Otherwise I'd like to know why I'm spending so much time/money on a Mai Lin costume, lol.

lol I will. I'm pretty sure it's in the purple room closet, but the cats have knocked so much stuff down that I can't get into it. My mom's gonna come over again this weekend and help me tidy up some more and so one of us can move and the other can relocate and we should be able to find it. I just wanted to have it early so I can finetune things like finding a shirt with short sleeves and figuring out the shoe situation.

I added you as a flickr contact, I hope that's ok?

[identity profile] zallia.livejournal.com 2008-05-14 04:13 am (UTC)(link)
Of course! I added you back! :D

[identity profile] zallia.livejournal.com 2008-05-14 04:22 am (UTC)(link)
I'll warn you though, I tend to dump a lot of photos from one shoot and get lazy about cleaning them up. *^^ Esp when it's contest time.

[identity profile] eskaline.livejournal.com 2008-05-14 04:30 am (UTC)(link)
Well, I have zillions of photos from almost every shoot I do. I can never pick shots!

[identity profile] zallia.livejournal.com 2008-05-14 04:31 am (UTC)(link)
Yay, someone else who's indecisive! I always like one thing about each one and can't just limit it to a few. Or people will look at or comment on the ones I would've otherwise deleted, lol.

[identity profile] eskaline.livejournal.com 2008-05-14 04:35 am (UTC)(link)
Yes, that happens to me, too! Sometimes I HATE a photo after I look at it awhile, but then it is commented on, favorited, etc. Oh well. Flickr is fun all the same--and proves that everyone has very different tastes! :D

You know, somehow when I think of you I see that guy in your icon, even though I know you're not that guy (or a guy at all :P)

I think you'd look cute in an angled cut (shorter in the back, longer towards the front) and a darker base with some funky highlights. Like a deep brown with bright red or deep purple streaks. Your skin and eyebrows are a bit too fair for black, but you could rock a deep brown.

lol I so need to change that. My heart hurts cause I know ZQ will never be mine. I wish I knew how to make icons so I could make them out of my dolls or something, but I'm totally suck at photo programs.

Wow, solid advice! I so didn't expect that, lol. I did black back in HS, but yeah, it looked too much wannabe goth. I did red highlights back in dec. so if you think I can handle it and not look like too much of a doof, I'll go with purple. :D
Haha, that's pretty much the cut my friend got that I liked too. Like the one Crush from AG has? She's so freaking hot.

[identity profile] missmollymayhem.livejournal.com 2008-05-14 04:24 am (UTC)(link)
Yes, exactly like that! Perfect example. If you do go with a darker brown see if your stylist will dye your brows to match. I have the same problem, exactly- pale skin and sparse/light colored eyebrows... such is life :P I also tried the black when I was 18, and I looked dead LOL

I have PSP if you want me to trim down some pics for icons- I suck at adding writing and all that, but I can crop! :)

GOD, I sound like I'm putting you down, and that wasn't what I ment! I just noticed we have the same eyebrows. That's all. Sheesh, I need to read my posts before I post them! ::facepalm::

I didn't see it as an insult at all, no harm done!

[identity profile] zallia.livejournal.com 2008-05-14 04:35 am (UTC)(link)
:O You watch AG too? Awesome! I love it so much. I haven't been able to watch the premiere yet though. I want to see the emo glad, rofl.
I'll have to check. I'm hoping they wax 'em too, but I'm not sure. Doing it myself has ended...badly in the past.

lol Awesome! I'll have to pick out which one or two I want. I can't even resize so that would be great of you.

[identity profile] missmollymayhem.livejournal.com 2008-05-14 05:09 am (UTC)(link)
yeah, it's fun!

I played with a few of your pics- you totally don't have to use any of these, I was just having a little fun :)
