ALL RIGHT YOU CAN ALL SHUT UP NOW

I have the pictures you were screaming for here. Can I have some peace and quiet now?

It was damn hard to get a non-goofy-looking pic today, and of course I had to adjust the colors to a reasonable approximation of real life and probably didn't get them too badly off.

The least goofy-looking pic:



As Himself always says "Why aren't you smiling?" the answer is: Because all the smiling pics looked way too goofy to post. :P

This is pretty much what it looks like, since you can't see the purple in the other pictures:




And now the second least goofy-looking pic, which does give a nice idea of the shape of the cut:



I couldn't even take a picture of the CAT that wasn't goofy-looking tonight:

> looks prim <



I didn't say a word!!!



(But now I will say that it looks quite nice. And yes, you have enough color in your face to take the black. I can't even wear a real dark brown these days ... .)

People are always surprised that I can take strong makeup, too. Dainty, subtle makeup doesn't do a damn thing for me, but Goth me out or at least give me a strong, glamorous look, and I pull it off fairly well. Not that I bother to put makeup on - I love playing with it, but it's way to much hassle for everyday. XD

Are we both going to dress up for A-Kon? (At least for one day?) I'm bringing The Outfit!

[identity profile] telophase.livejournal.com 2008-03-28 03:54 am (UTC)(link)
I can have a cool outfit to wear, or I can have art for the con. :D No time! No time!

[identity profile] rachelmanija.livejournal.com 2008-03-28 03:58 am (UTC)(link)
I take it there's nothing you can just pull out of your wardrobe...? Never mind, me and your hair will be enough glamor for both of us.

[identity profile] telophase.livejournal.com 2008-03-28 04:00 am (UTC)(link)
I had to buy a whole new wardrobe after losing 50 pounds. There's nothing glamorous in it. :D

Although, come to think of it, I have a Victorian outfit from the year 2000 that might fit me again. I can only spend a few hours in it before AH GOD GET ME THE HELL OUT OF THIS OUTFIT, but it might be good. :D

Yes! Try it on! We can be contrasting examples of moe.

I think a lot of it is getting the undertones to play nicely -- that looks like it's more of a neutral-to-warm black, and you've got a lot of pink undertones to your skin? I'm also very very pale and have light grey-green eyes, but the one time I tried the stereotypical goth-black-dyejob it looked pretty blah on me, and it's not that I can't do high contrast -- very deep, vibrant burgundies and plums are some of my best shades. Blue-black, OTOH, against my sallow undertones, was just not so great.

(Also, that last pic? Cat macro WAITING to happen.)

[identity profile] telophase.livejournal.com 2008-03-28 01:14 pm (UTC)(link)
Yup, lots of pink in my skin. Enough that when I wear pink it looks good on me, and my mom loves me in pink, but unfortunately I can't stand pink clothing. XD

OMG I WANT YOUR HAIR!

Your cat can get trapped in a box that hasn't any lid; she doesn't get to complain if she looks goofy.

If you knew how fine my hair really is, and how scraggly it looks 90% of the time, you wouldn't say that. XD

You have lost so much weight! You look wonderful. Congratulations!

I love how your eyes contrast.

[identity profile] telophase.livejournal.com 2008-03-28 03:51 am (UTC)(link)
Thank you! :D

I swear my eyes are really hazel, although they keep looking grey in the pictures. XD

W00t, pandering to the masses! Hey, it's rough having a demanding public. Price of fame! ;)

The purple highlights really give it some nice richness. The black does work well with your skin, and good shape too! I think I'm jealous of your stylist-havingness. Your cuts always turn out cool.

[identity profile] telophase.livejournal.com 2008-03-28 03:50 am (UTC)(link)
It's taken me years to find a stylist I trust and who doesn't think that "edgy" and "stylish" means "the same damn haircut that everyone else has." I AM NOT LETTING HIM GO!

[identity profile] rachelmanija.livejournal.com 2008-03-28 03:49 am (UTC)(link)
The hair looks great. You look terrifying. (In the first pic.) Is that the look you give to Creepy Guys?

[identity profile] telophase.livejournal.com 2008-03-28 03:51 am (UTC)(link)
That's the fixed "I am going to pretend you haven't just said that" look. :D

The black does look good with your skin and eyes, and the purple provides a good contrast. Nice shape, too. Looks like it has good movement.

Thank you! I told my stylist he could sell me Product this time - he's really awful about not selling me stuff and he doesn't understand that like office supplies are for my mom, hair-care products are for me: we have this inner conviction that if we only had the right one, we'd be taller, we'd be popular, we could speak French, etc. But I made him sell me product this time, so he sold me a shine thing that I hope will keep it from being sort of frizzy like it usually gets. XD

[personal profile] seajules 2008-03-28 04:25 am (UTC)(link)
Office supplies, huh? That's a new one. *G*

My stylists for the past several years have loved to throw stuff in my hair, which is cool, as long as they let me smell it first so I know it won't give me a headache or make me sick. For take home, though, I have a rule: I won't use more than three products, and they have to be applicable in under five minutes. Also, I like the bedhead look, my hair's going to do it anyway, short of shellacing, so no straighteners or flatteners or anything along those lines. Let there be volume, and don't try to fight the wave, you will not win.

A product for shine would especially be good for the color combination you've got going, and it sounds like it's also a smoothing agent? So you'll look all sleek and cutting edge. *G*

[identity profile] telophase.livejournal.com 2008-03-28 04:27 am (UTC)(link)
It feels really nice, too. XD Of course, he worked on it with a flattening iron, and he's a professional stylist, so I won't be able to truly reproduce it, especially since my hair-care routine consists of "wash it, maybe put something in it, dash out door while it's still wet," but we'll see. XD

[personal profile] seajules 2008-03-28 04:44 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, if you have any kind of natural wave, that routine will doom you. *G* If your hair is naturally rather straight, on the other hand, the lack of blow-drying combined with a shine/smoothing agent should combat frizziness pretty well.

[identity profile] melster.livejournal.com 2008-03-28 01:52 pm (UTC)(link)
It's what I do, and it often ends up curly just fine. But then again I have the option of a sudden ponytail for when it doesn't *quite* work.
seajules: (lanning webfoot)

[personal profile] seajules 2008-04-05 06:07 am (UTC)(link)
Well, that's what I mean. If you have natural wave or natural curl, letting your hair air-dry only encourages the wave or the curl. If you're going for straight, best to blow-dry with a straightener in.

Me, my hair is almost all cowlicks, so I have surrendered to the bedhead look and made the craziness work for me.

[identity profile] dremiel.livejournal.com 2008-03-28 01:18 pm (UTC)(link)
OMG That's my LIFE!

That file, or those nifty tabs will suddenly cause everything to fall into place: I'll be effortlessly organized, I'll be twenty pounds lighter, yes, and speaking French, too. Really, this is the one. Ooh, look at that retractable highlighter! When I was seven I shoplifted a box of binder clips. This should have been a clue.

I really like the way the purple looks.

[identity profile] telophase.livejournal.com 2008-03-28 01:29 pm (UTC)(link)
I have a bit of the office-supply thing, too, but it's nowhere near as bad as hair-care products for me. XD

Thanks!

I have to say the green color of your eyes is absolutely striking! Very complimenting to your expression. And honestly you don't need makeup, you have a beautiful tone to your skin.

[identity profile] telophase.livejournal.com 2008-03-28 01:10 pm (UTC)(link)
Thank you! :)

[identity profile] tammylee.livejournal.com 2008-03-28 02:39 pm (UTC)(link)
Awesome hair! I know fine hair is a pain but I've always wanted fine, straight hair. SILKY! I really like how they've worked the purple in.

And like someone said above, you really look like you've lost weight since I last saw you! Go you!
xooxo

[identity profile] telophase.livejournal.com 2008-03-28 02:53 pm (UTC)(link)
XD Thank you!

[identity profile] seawolf10.livejournal.com 2008-03-28 05:18 pm (UTC)(link)
Looking sharp. That purple's very subtle...but then again, I have trouble distinguishing the shades where one color blends into another, so it may be more obvious to other people.

[identity profile] telophase.livejournal.com 2008-03-28 06:42 pm (UTC)(link)
It's more visible in real life - the people who've commented on it have all mentioned the purple. :D Thanks!

It looks good! The cat does look goofy though.
