"The label you give yourself cannot impact external forces that are not motivated by your own psychology or influenced by a third party's pre-existing consciousness of you. We are all presented with reasons to struggle which come from completely external forces; to pretend that one is not struggling is either arrogance or an admission of defeat. To admit that one is struggling is a sign and a source of strength." - Evan A. Baker

It's a New Me!

I needed a change. Something physical. Something....fun! The shoulder length curly hair was....boring.

Stifling, almost. I've had it shoulder length for almost a decade.

I read a tweet not too long ago from an agent that was basically this: "Our actress who booked 6 national commercials as a brunette, just went blond. #facepalm"

And it made me angry. We are artists and we need to express ourselves through our physical appearance. Sometimes we need a change. Who are you to judge this like it's a bad thing? Maybe she'll book 12 commercials as a blond! You don't know. But if we need a change, we NEED a change.

So, I did what I needed to do. And I got the major change I was craving.

 It's gone. All of it.



Is it me, though? Yeah. Sometimes.






What if I straightened it?

And tried to take an artsy fartsy photo?











I got this!

Kinda Marilyn Monroe-ish, kinda messed up, kinda put together, kinda....sexy?



What if I took Headshots like this!?!?



I got THESE!!!












So here I am, World! 

And I'm excited.

I'm a different person - I'm a different type. Let's see where it takes me this year, shall we?

    It's so scary to change. Isn't it? I applaud you for your bravery and diving in! I've so wanted to just cut all mine off and look more "professional" but it just never happens. But you look fantastic! It's still you, clearly you shining through. Just a new 2012 you.
