A few things I'll never understand... (The blog world edition)

I know. Ya'll thought I was so brilliant that there was NOTHING left that I didn't understand. Fear not, dearest readers, there are plenty of things in this world that make me tilt my pretty little strawberry blonde** head to one side and raise an eyebrow. Plus, people keep doing ridiculous things that continue to puzzle me. And lucky for ya'll, you get to read my innermost thoughts and wonderings via this snappy, snarky and stupendous blog. I know. You're excited.

* How everyone suddenly thinks they're a professional photographer: Yeah. You just have an extremely expensive camera that you barely know how to use. I will not be paying you an exorbitant amount of money for you to take substandard photos with techniques you learned from a tutorial on another armature photographer's blog.

* Why looking down and letting your hair fall in your face is now The Thing in pictures. Busy Bee Lauren can do it because she's awesome and has truly fantastic hair. She also includes quite a few pictures of her actual face in the post.

* Fashion blogs in general. I read a couple of fashion blogs. They're really fun sometimes. But just because you own a pair of skinny jeans and wear a belts in places that they don't traditionally belong does not mean that the whole world wants to know where you buy every single item of your clothing. (Disclaimer: I know I know. Just stop reading those blogs. But you know what? Sometimes they have really cute stuff on them. I just skip all of the freaking outfit posts.)

* DIY/Tutorials. Granted, there are some things that I would love to learn to do myself. I grew up with an incredibly crafty mom. The woman could make just about anything look like it was purchased at a store. But guess what? Not everyone has that talent. Sometimes things just look cheesy. I mean please. How many different things can you stick on a freaking headband?!

*Etsy. I love buying things off Etsy. In fact, I buy most of the presents I give people off Etsy. But let me tell you something: the entire world does not need their own Etsy store. About eleventy billion people already sell headbands/homemade rings/tutus/fudge/cookies/crochet iPod covers. Just make them for your friends and be happy about it.

*Vintage. Just because it's old doesn't mean that it's vintage. And for the record, I liked old things before it was cool.

Also. Don't be all offended by anything I said. This is just me ranting. And I'm not calling anyone out. So don't get your knickers in a twist.

** Don't worry. The strawberry part of that blonde is totally fake.

The Moment of Truth...

Dearest, most trusted, brilliant blog readers, 

  I have a VERY serious question. See, I love to change my hair around. I grow it out purely for the purpose of cutting it off. Hair is an accessory, meant to be adjusted and changed on a regular basis. I'm very fortunate to look good as both a blonde and a brunette. I'm in the mood for a change and since there's no way on earth that my hair can get any shorter (and still be manageable) then the answer is in the dye. So, here's your question:

Do I look better as a blonde:

 

Or a brunette?

I love them both...but I've been a brunette for a while now. Maybe it's time for a change? My inability to make decisions means that I'm relaying on your opinions. So please. Be honest. :) Your prompt response is imperative.

Love you all!

Opinions Needed..

I usually don't ask for other people's opinions. I like my own well enough. BUT in this case I'm asking all of you, dear friends, for your opinions. I have a work of fiction that I've been constructing. And I thought that MAYBE I might just put it up in pieces on this here blog, but I'd love to know if that would be something that you, dear readers, would like to see. So, let me know what you think in the comments section. And this is for ALL of the readers of my little blog here, whether I know you or not.
