| Hair today, gone tomorrow |
In the ongoing saga of ad inspiration in Joanna's life...
Remember those feet photos?
Recently I discovered this ad in Mark's Entertainment Weekly. I have no idea what it's really advertising, but I liked the way the hair was featured.
So, I decided to try something similar. Except when we tried to photograph my hair in a similar fashion I discovered a few things, the main one being the fact that it's impossible to lay down with your back flat on a piano bench and hold your head and shoulders far enough off the end of it in any manner that feels comfortable, or, for that matter, looks comfortable in photos. You laugh, but I dare you to try it! In addition, there's really no way to smile while contorting oneself for a photo as such. I would really like to know how the model did it.
SO, on a fluke, we tried something else, and came up with this.
Which looks funny if you turn it like so...
and I was really tempted to scrap it this way!
But ANYWAY, now that you've all had time to examine my roots (hair appointment on Tuesday!) I wanted to share the end results. A scrapbook page, of course -- about myself, no less! but fun. (especially when I remember trying to dangle my head off that piano bench.)

Not only do I love that layout and the whole idea of it, but I love your picture!!!
Not many people can pull off straight and curly, but you manage it girl!
-
You are just the cutest thing - either way Ü
(and thanks for the lol mental of you hanging off that piano bench...!)
-
LOVE that cool photo, Joanna! That layout is awesome, too! I have naturally curly THICK hair myself and wish I had the time to make it straight every day! You look beautiful either way!! :)
-
Piano bench?! Girl, you need some kind of mega fan blowing to get a picture like that, don't you? LOLOL!
-
Just darling! I love your curly hair. Lucky you look great with it both ways. I used to have thick hair with alot of body however pregnancy and age has caused it to go stick straight and very fine. I only wish I could do what you did with your hair. Maybe I should do a "when I was young" vs. "now that I'm old" page!

love that layout...you know I will be doing one like this ;) Fun story behind the one picture!
-
Love your hair either way. Mine is ugly curly, so I go straight daily. I was thinking, maybe she is upside down with a fan blowing? Then her eyes would get dry. That would solve any hanging neck/wrinkle problems.
-
What a great idea! I so love how you find inspiration everywhere! :)
-
You are too funny!! I love those pictures and that is a great LO! I love the straight look on you!

Wow, what a riot! Cool photos and beautiful hair. Your roots look pretty good compared to mine right about now.
