experimentation

For those of you who have never seen me (which is, most likely, everyone), I've been compared to Disney's version of Snow White. I even had the haircut, though it's grown out now. Since my hair is black, I've never dyed it anything other than the original shade (because my hair is going white, which is another story for another time), but I've always wanted to dye it blonde. I've decided that someday, when I am very, very brave, I am going to...

1) Dye my hair blonde. Not platinum blonde, but a lighter blonde.
2) Get a spray tan.
3) Get tips put on my nails.
4) Wear something very, very unlike me. I haven't quite figured out what that would be yet, but it would probably involve five-inch heels and a fun dress or skirt in a bright color.
5) See what happens.

I don't think it would look terrible, considering I'm very pale anyway (although the spray tan would negate the issue.) It would be very unfortunate when my roots start to show, though, and my eyebrows are black, sooo...

Would it make me feel any better? That's mostly the reason I want to do it, that and a touch of curiosity. The more I hide myself, the more I try, the better I feel. I see other girls show up to class in sweats, and I wish I could do that, but I'd feel terrible about myself if I did. So I'd rather go to the other extreme... cover myself up and see if it helps. I suppose it's worth a try.
