A New Me

March 28th, 2005

I’ve learned a hard lesson this week . . . Being pampered and famous really IS hard work.

Fine, so I’m neither famous nor particularly pampered, but I AM getting a makeover. And while I’m on the subject of makeovers, I wonder if it’s actually a nice way of saying that you’re a C student, but you could be an A student if you just wore some eyeliner. It’s sort of like getting voted Most Improved at the end of the season.

Anyhow, my makeover comes courtesy of Urban Decay for a new feature on their website — Urban Decay Girl of the Month. It involved four hours of shopping on Friday — where after browsing at several stores with two girls from Urban Decay, I came home empty handed. I’ll try not to think of this as a commentary about my style being immune to the help of professionals.

So, come Thursday, my own mother may not recognize me. Any suggestions on hair color? I’ll make sure to post a picture if it’s not too much of a nightmare.

As for my four fans/detractors comments, if you didn’t read it, “Animal Pants” wrote:

a wise man once said ‘those who can’t write, write blogs.’ however, an even wiser man quickly replied, ‘those who REALLY can’t write, write comments in other people’s little comment blog posting spaces.’ Touche, wise man.

Well, Animal Pants, very clever. And by the way “Animal Pants,” nice name. I won’t ask what that’s all about. I’ll just hope from afar that it doesn’t have to do with your irregular leg shaving habits.

And for those of you who want to join ranks with the legendary Animal Pants and post a comment for yourself — without registering your pets, email address and medicine allergies on blogger.com &mdash I’ve heard you can go to the “Comments” section, pick a name and a password, write your comment (after making sure it’s sufficiently complimentary to me or witty) and then push “Publish”. When it brings up a questionnaire, don’t bother filling out the rest if you don’t want to. It’ll still publish your post.

Until a new me, a new Thursday,
Jennie
