Don't ever think I won't AW my wedding stuff! I did a first dress fitting (no pics) and hair and makeup trial on Saturday.

akhensley81

mery- LOVE the hair trial!! My hair's a little shorter but that's similar to what we're going to do with mine. How fun!!

TurtlesAllTheWayDown

Thanks! I wasn't sure my hair would be long enough to pull off anything, but it turned out like I'd hoped.

(Side note - it's about collar bone length and usually looks terrible, so I can't wait to chop it.)

akhensley81

Haha mery I already have my post-wedding hair chop appointment for Monday. I CANNOT wait. I'll probably AW that right along with my wedding photos. Hehe.

beatlesgirl25

Very lovely, Mery! Your makeup looks great in the first pic.

ETA: Also, half-back hair is the way to go for fuss-free wedding fun. I didn't love the way my wedding hair turned out by a long shot, BUT it was stress-free all night.

TurtlesAllTheWayDown

My mom had a cow over the fact that I'm not having an updo. I'm like, "WHEN in my life have I ever had a fancy updo? I don't even like to wear ponytails. My face is round and looks terrible with my hair back." I much prefer half-up on me. And I know I won't really worry about it! I'm just considering maybe a darker lip color...

I REALLY want to chop my hair.  I'm so scared.  I've had long hair most of my life.  My face is so round I think I'll look like a mushroom.

akhensley81

kelly- there are plenty of good short haircuts for round faces. Mine is very long and ovaly so I need to be careful too. I've got my cut picked out and it will DEFINITELY take some getting-used-to.

BUT this constant feeling of my hair against my neck is my driving force to chop it no matter what. Blllech.

I found a website recently that had samples of short cuts depending on face shape... let me see if I can find it again.

mkrupar

I'm always waaayy late on these things, stupid work. :-)

Ak - I like you because you are down to earth, and I'm hoping that your big day this Saturday is awesome!

Amoro - You give some great advice. Some people think it's you being mean, but you're honest, and no one can fault you for that.

Nugget & Fish - You two crack me up, and whenever you're on a thread I know there will be some laughs

I'm still a newbie, and have been lurking for a while, but have recently started posting more.

And hai, mkrupar! I've seen you around a bit so you're not a brandnew newbie. We do have to work on your post count a little though. And thanks! I can't can't can't can't can't stand the waiting this week - I'm so excited!!

I think I'll feel so... exposed.  Ha.  I'm planning on just going in to my stylist and telling her to go at it.

Same here. I wanted a dramatic up-do, but I have a hump-neck and round face. I feel ya.

And I think the lip-color from your trial is really nice. In the last pic, which looks like it's in natural sunlight, it's distinctive and defines your lips but is still natural-looking. I think it would look great in pictures. Unless you're doing pin-up style makeup, I think it's tricky to do the dark lip thing when you're fair-skinned too. But that's just my opinion. :)

Hi Krupar!!

Beachy730

What the heck does AW mean?  I've been here long enough and thats the only one I don't know!

I also would love to cut my hair short because I'm really lazy and hate doing anythng to it, but I'm afraid I'll look like a boy.  And because of my laziness I need to be able to pull it in a ponytail.

That's exactly what I did the first time I chopped my hair. It was in college... I usually had it shoulder-length but in college I went on this "I won't cut my hair until I graduate" kick. So it got reeeeeeeeeally long. I'd finally had enough, went to my stylist and said CHOP IT. I told him I wanted it shorter than my jaw line. I literally covered my eyes until he was done. Now I love it!

akhensley81

AW = Attention Whore. You "AW" something basically when you're showing off something you're proud of/happy about.

MissLeahM

I like... You... You ... You ... Fvck You.... You're Cool, you..

kris10royal

I don't post much, but I read a lot and I really enjoy Amoro, KatieWompus, Fishy, Kiki, Mery, Ms. B, and Alix. I love how you are all hilarious. Oh, and I think sun's (thesuninherhead?) siggy pic is to die for.

kellyjellybelly

I'm in a wedding at the end of October, and then we're off on a cruise for 2 weeks, so I think I'm going to wait until after that.  Just in case I end up looking like something out of Mario Brothers or something. 

MissLeahM

I like Fishy, she's the conductor on the crazy train that is known as E, formally P&E

HI ROYAL (Hi, Dr. Nick!)

mandysmear

Thanks.  i should have been able to figure that out.  I'm definitely an AW sometimes then.

I flock to them.  Dani and squirrly - need some mod love.  I bet shiit's going to get crazy. Fishy and Alix - well.  you know how i feel about you.  WHITE IS RIGHT. Stacks is beautiful and I am going to steal her husband.  She can keep JOcelyn though, I won't leave her completely alone.  Angie74 needs to come around more.  She's so wonderful in so many ways. Andrea_Lea is definitely the sweetest person on the planet.  This much I know. Arbs, thanks for post secret.  It's a great site when being used for the intended purpose. Celles - I think you have a great head on your shoulders.  P2 - you need to have a "yay! mark is better party!"  and i am going to fly out for it.  LC - i think that we should party.  pretty sure we'd have a blast. Andy - (lawyer andy who used to live in chicago) god you are stunningly beautiful.  i haz a crush on you.
