Take a picture of yourself right now.
Don't change your clothes. Don't fix your hair. Just take a picture. Post that picture with no editing. Post these instructions with your picture.
silly focus

After a long day at the races. Sans binding underwear, dinner is over and the kid has been put to bed. Might as well hang out in the kitchen!

It is crazy long. Well maybe not crazy long. I have these fantasies about doing the whole side-swept bang look but then I worry that it would drive me crazy. My main thing is mostly getting my hair washed on a regular basis. After that? bonus points.

I think you'd look great with the swept back bang thing, but I'm in the same camp when it comes to the practicality of it all. If I can't pull my hair back in a ponytail and off my face I'm no good to humanity. With my hair in a ponytail it means I've gone into "I mean business" mode around the house. Without that ponytail no laundry would ever get done and no trash would ever make it out to the curb.

Exactly. I need to be able to put my hair back and get stuff done.

I finally caved and got the side swept bang, and I love it muchly. I find the secret is to keep a hair pin in my pocket for those times when I need to get actual work done and the hair in my face is too distracting. It's amazing how quickly you get used to it though, even for someone like me, who has always hated having hair in her face. Do it!

But is it a bother to grow out. That is the other important question.

It's not too bad, if you don't get them cut too short in the first place. I'm on my second go-round with the side bangs, and I just kept them pushed behind one ear when they were growing out the first time.

Also, you have gorgeous eyes -- forgot to mention that earlier.

Why not just stick it on the bottom in a cut?

It is a neighborhood that is mostly made up of Hispanics and Asians. So there are shops that carry everything from Central America next to a restaurant that has ducks hanging in the window. There wasn't a Starbucks in sight. And there was a neat filipino bakery with all kinds of pretty things. A pan-pacific restaurant and Eritrean food. Plus there is the super posh http://www.culinarycommunion.com/. It was just a bit of everything. I also like the library there.

if you upload the pic to a site such as flickr or photobucket you can use html to post the pic (photobucket even gives you the code to embed)
