Mostly For Shannon

It's been a LONG time since I have flat ironed my hair. Shannon (a friend from work) was asking me about it recently. She says she has curly hair, too. You'd never guess since she has really pretty, long, straight hair. So, I'm thinking "Okay, this hairstyle I've had for like ever is getting boring." As part of "WHOLE NEW LOOK 2009", I decided to try it again today. Well, it looks better than I remember (I think the overwhelming number of grays are actually starting to affect the overall texture) but I'm not sure I actually like it. I also discovered (remembered is more acurate) that I suck at taking pictures of myself. You know how some people are just gifted with the perfect-arm-length-from-face-to-capture-really-cute-shots of themselves? Yeah, I don't have that. No matter how I hold the damn camera, either my chin or my forehead look enormous. After trying about 40 times, I decided ya'll would have to live with some mirror shots. So here. Take a good look and then vote. I can't promise that I will abide by the results of the vote, but I'll think about it. I decided to let you vote in the comments, so that you can vote anonymously, if you choose. The choices are:
  1. Meh, either way is fine.
  2. Grow up, straight hair is more mature.
  3. For the love of God, please don't make us look at that obnoxious sticky curly hair anymore.
  4. I like your curly hair, it's part of who you are.
  5. I'm too nice to tell you the truth.

Since I had the camera out I decided to take a couple pics of my more skinny ass. I lost another 2 pounds and am now at a weight I haven't been at in over 2 years. WOOHOO!! These are my fat pants! They were actually falling off. I had to roll them over the top to keep them up. I won't be wearing them again. BYEBYE FAT PANTS!!! (oh and there's some shadowing there over my belly, so look real close :)

My vote is number 4. Although having the option to mix things up is really fun. I say do both...whatever the mood! Congrats on ditching the fat pants. Keep up the great work.

#6.) You look great and the straight hair compliments your new 'tude on your new look! I like the length, not too short, not too long. It looks smooth.. and don't you love the feeling of running your fingers through it?!?! Now, sit there while I ram this bristle brush from the top of your parted-in-the-middle scalp to the bottom of your don't-even-think-about-cutting-your-hair-OR-shaving-your-legs-hair! Oh, and here's a barette for good measure..

LOVE IT!! You look fabulous with straight hair, curly too. But the straight suites you very well.

I'm just now getting to see the pix, but am very glad I got to see it live too (even if the rainy weather frizzed a bit of it).=)
I think you are SO lucky because you can get away with wearing your hair curly, which I imagine is WAY easier to do, but also look HOT with it straightened.=)
Soooo....I suppose my vote is #1, but with more enthusiasm than your "meh". =D

I vote #1 AND #4 AND #6- you're a hot, skinny-assed chic no matter what you got on the top of your head.

You look great Danielle. It has been forever since I have seen you in person (Yvonne's wedding to David). I like your hair straight but, I have always LOVED your curly hair too. You should wear it however you want since it is on your head..
