There I did it, I came clean with my current look. This is why I like to wear a hat!

July 29th, 2010 week 22- end of month 5
Thought I'd just put it out there... no lashes, brows gone, skin's still lookin' good, hair is thin, thin, thin but I still have 'enough' to poke out of my hat and fake some people out. In the pic I'm sporting a bandanna type of thing that I like to wear around the house + sometimes out in public but I think it makes me look like I have cancer...and gives me a hippy-chic boho look of which I appreciate on others but not so much on me ;) [hence the pearl earings to balance things out]
I thought I would dread the no eyelash, brow thing. I'm surprisingly ok with it. I think I look like I have no makeup on or just woke up. Typically in the summer I don't wear makeup so it's not much of a stretch. I have opted [on some days] to draw in some brows and add eyeliner to define my eyes. I'm not wanting to fuss with fake lashes. It just seems like it will be a pain and who really cares. I think just about everyone in my life knows I have cancer so I'm not pulling the wool over anyone's eyes. The brow makeup was totally new to me. I have, ok had, great brows.[In junior high my mom rubbed my brows and asked me if I put anything in them. I thought 'what the hell is she doing and why would anyone put anything in their brows'.] #callmebrookeshields Now that I take a moment to study everyone's eye brows I realize I'm not alone in the no-brow club.
What I don't like is how I look when I take my hat or bandanna off + see it in combo with my lack of hair. In fact I'm very aware of it in public. When my head gets hot + sweaty I may excuse myself to the restroom and 'air out' for a moment then put my hat back on before returning to the outside world. See... this is what I'm talking about. #eek #notmybestlook
