Lately I've been getting these urgent impulses to cut my hair really, really short again- a la Mia Farrow in Rosemary's Baby. Since I know I would terribly regret following through with that impulse, I've had to placate myself by doing Mod make-up and dressing as close to Mod as I can.

I am a rocker and you are a mod! We are mortal enemies!
ReplyDeleteHow do you do your eyeliner like that? Mine never looks right and gets smudged whenever I cry about you being gone. I think you should do your makeup like that every day for the rest of my life.
