With every season, I invent a new me. Winter time leaves me feeling morose and defeated as I hate the cold and snow. I often find myself very “goth” during those months, and will dye my locks jet black, sport alabaster skin, wear a lot of black, grey and red clothing, black eye makeup. I enjoy the “darker” me, and always feel somewhat sexy, exotic and unstoppable with my raven locks. I also pack on about 10-15 lbs during these months. I guess it’s to give my scrawny ass some insulation, if you will. It’s fucking COLD in NYC.
With spring, I find myself dying my hair a few shades lighter. Usually a med-dark ash brown. I will start wearing lighter shades of clothing, and often find myself filled with hope as the summer is on it’s way! I will start dropping the added lbs around April.
The summer me is completely different from the winter me. I will dye my hair platinum blonde, cut it a bit, wear bright and vivid colors, get myself a tan (I live on the beach) and I just have a different attitude towards life in general.
In the fall, I will go back to red hair, wear earthy colored clothing, a lot of knee-high stiletto boots, wool skirts. Summer and fall are my favorite seasons in NYC, as it is just gorgeous outside and the city seems to come alive! I truly dislike this place, although I grew up here. I do look forward to May-November, however.
I am in mid-transition to my summer me. This morning I came into work and saw some co-workers from our California office that I have not seen in some time and they did not recognize me. This always cracks me up. It is a drastic change, so I understand and never take it personally. The last time I saw these people I had jet black hair almost to my waist, pale skin, weighed 20 lbs more than I do now. I now have shoulder length blonde hair, tanned skin, tighter, toned body. Change is GOOD. It makes you feel new, refreshed, excited, and hopeful. That and there is always something about going blonde that just changes my entire outlook. If you are a chick that can pull off any hair color, I highly suggest giving blonde a whirl. It is a good time!
OK, there is my shallow post of the year. Enjoy! xo
