electromagnetic pulse

MMeO. early tests.

Things to notice.
. I tried wearing mascara. It ended up lopsided, which was readily apparent b/c I have pale lashes.
. I tried pulling my hair back in a stylish way. It was difficult to maintain throughout the day. I tried wearing my hair loose. It was difficult to see anything.
. well shit, that new shirt I bought (on sale!) is in the laundry b/c I used it for a performance last week. now what? how am I supposed to suddenly acquire a whole new wardrobe?
. I'm not quite there yet and have to set shit up later.
. Clothing is expensive, all I own are Tees!
. Drycleaning is also expensive, and having to get every new pair of pants altered b/c I'm only 5'4" sucks.
. I love turtlenecks. I look far sassier in the winter.
. not really.

Dudu's comment.
The other day for work I made an effort to look more polished. I put on a little mascara (I think it went on ok) and wore a necklace. I chose a t-shirt with a little more shape. I tried to make my ponytail fall just so and look placed. Dudu, a colleague at work who takes no end of pleasure in teasing me for not being more "girly", told me I looked "very put together today. Is it intentional?".
I nearly fell over! And since no beauty is ever supposed to be artificial, I said "no."

Everytime she sees me with my hair down, she says "Oh! you look so pretty with your hair down!" How do I look with it up?

Making an effort.
These were the days I felt good already. I had drive. I felt safe taking on a little something more. What about the days I feel like crap?
