Winter Make Over

[forever_wandering]

I've been heavily conditioning my hair these days. I wake up, add conditioner, put on a heat cap, then toss on a wig so that I can leave the conditioner in as long as possible. Pretty soon, I'll have to chemically straighten my hair again, so I'm trying to strengthen my hair as much as possible until then. Surprisingly, a lot of people don't even realize I'm wearing a wig. I've also had people ask me what brand of fake eye-lashes I use, but in reality, I don't use fake lashes at all. Mine are just naturally long and thick.

Less than a month until I meet up with my sempai and old classmates in Yokohama, so I'm really thinking about what kind of image I want to meet them in. I was known for being the always-on-the-move-party girl who mostly associated with those of the B系 fashion style. I still want to maintain that image but I want to do it in a way that still shoes I've matured. Basically, I'm swapping in the American "thug-style" I used to wear back then for a more...taylored B系 image. And so far, my absolute musts are: 

What kind of style do you follow? Have you changed your style recently?

It seems like lately all I think about is fashion. That's because for the first time in a long time, even though I don't feel 100% pleased with the way I look now, I don't feel like I'm hideous. I'm finally starting to understand what does and doesn't suit me, and what kind of person I want to become. They say looks aren't everything, but I think we can all agree that looks play an important part in how we're treated and what doors open for us.

Which leads to my next announcement: 

I received two meishi over the past couple of days. One from a man who works for a project managment company in Tokyo, and the other from a man who works for a publishing company in Yokohama. Both told me to contact them if I ever considered making the move from Kansai to Kantou.  I'll try to visit both companies next month.

wow, who knew that attending lectures actually did have a point. I actually know what "meishi" means from my 1st semester~~~~ 8D good luck with both of the companies~~~~!!!

as sad as it is, but looks are important in this society. They say that what's inside that matters, but the truth is, if people don't like what's outside, they won't even bother to look what is inside :/
but am really happy to hear that you are pleased with the way you look~ That is something i am always envious in people, so don't ever loose that love for yourself ;D

Exactly! It took me so long to realize that! Before I used to always say "Well, if they are going to like me, they are going to like me for who I am!" But if my outsides aren't appealing, they won't dare approach to get to know me in the first place.

It's so sad....

But sometimes self confidence can make you so beautiful too.

true that :/ what sucks are the standards of beauty we get from TV and magazines. Make-up, photoshop, special effects... Society believes it, and then all have to suffer without realizing that all is not real and can never be.

agree on that! to me personally, a standard of beauty in a man or a woman is his/her self-confidence. If they are confident with themselves in what they are doing - HOLY FISH MARRY ME PLEASE 8D
