As a foreword, I just want you all to know that I love my mother dearly. so dearly. MOM IF YOU ARE READING THIS RIGHT NOW, I WANT YOU TO KNOW THAT I LOVE YOU UNCONDITIONALLY. That being said, I want to know who the hell trusted you with scissors. AND MY DELICATE, IMPRESSIONABLE SELF IMAGE AS A CHILD.
This photo was taken in September of 2000; I was 9. I was also the most hideous thing I've ever seen. Everything negative about adolescence manifested itself in this unfortunate developmental period.
Moms, I ask you I BEG you not to cut your daughters bangs yourself if:
- you have an unsteady hand
- cutting straight has always proved to be problematic
- your daughter has wavy/curly hair
- your daughter has a cowlick
- you daughter resists you doing high maintenance do's
- you actually aren't capable of high maintenance do's
Crooked bangs are almost forgivable on a 5 year old; If I had cut these bangs, I would probably deny all hand in this endeavor and be all like "oh, ya.... you know kids.... always giving themselves haircuts....."
Mom, with that being said, I forgive you for making me look like a dweeb at least 4 years past the acceptable age for crooked bangs to exist. Also, thanks for going through childbirth for me- you are the best ((but not with scissors... just to clarify)).
Fashionably,
I just laughed out loud - not because of your photos, but your words. I love your sense of humor. I debated showing photos of me with bad eyebrows, but I just can't. I want to permanently remove such evidence (or years) out of my memory. Unfortunately I have no one to blame other than Drew Barrymore.
ReplyDeleteDO IT. Bad eyebrows are the best. Being blonde means I don't have eyebrows unless I draw them on.... so, that's one area I was able to avoid disgrace. haha- I may have to do an eyebrow post and dedicate it to you!
