Back to the Basics...a Born Again Brunette

I am losing my native roots! Being in Washington, being around corporate and political officials, with their conservative attire and flair wears on you, or at least on me. Being from California, I'm use to the mellow, sunny, shorts, Rainbows, t-shirt wearing scene. Not here, no sir. It's all about professional-dressed and cleaned cut. Now I'm not opposed to this, but it is just different. Tomorrow morning I have an interview with the Washingtonian. I must dress up for the interview, which I don't mind doing, since I had to buy all sorts of cute outfits for the occasion, but I felt the need to kick it up a notch. The other day, Natalie suggested I dye my hair, she said I would look really good with dark hair. Well, considering the sun has spent many hairs customizing the golden strands on my head along with a couple hairs spent at Paul Mitchell downtown to enhance some of them, I juggled the thought. Maybe I would look more mature, more classy, more professional. So today, Natalie's roomie Christina and I ran down ( and I literally mean ran-with my Camelbak on) to Pennsylvania about a mile down the road to CVS and got some dye. Natalie then took on the role as hair stylist and massaged the dye through my hair, eliminating all signs of California.

I'll miss my blond, sunshine-glistening locks, but in this city, I think it's more appropriate...more professional. But hey, don't worry I'm not changing who I am, just the color of my hair. And I got a great before and after sequence I will post later.

Oh and by the way, if you have nothing better to do watch this video I not only shot all the photos for (except for the live video) but also directed and edited. It was my first time using imovie! :)

I think I am really blessed to have such a great friend...Natalie. This girl is my twin sister, but from a different southern state....Tennessee. If you haven't been noticing that I make a lot of references to her. We are inseparable. I don't know what I would do without her in the program with me, I don't think I would be enjoying it as much.
