Makeover of the week

So remember a few months ago when I turned my one naturally dark brown haired sister into a platinum blond? (And half of her hair fell out? :) Well, believe it or not she's actually still platinum, still looks fabulous, and still has hair!! And it's actually much healthier now since it was just getting years worth of color out of her ends that was so harsh, but the new hair growing in is taking it much better.

Well, this trip it was taking my other sister with highlights (usually she has more than this first picture, this was just the only one I had of her) back to dark and giving her a bit of a change since she felt like she wanted to try more of an actual style. Check it out!




















I have to tell a little funny story about this sister though. She's notoriously kind of a "Molly Mormon" as we call it, or the kind that lives everything to a T, dresses super modestly, took me well into the 21st century to get her out of tapered jeans, spells out in a hushed voice words like S-E-X when she's talking - you know. Anyway, a few years ago I tried to do her hair and give her some side swept bangs. It looked hot. But I got done and she looked in the mirror and said in a somewhat high-pitched anxious voice, "But I'm in PRIMARY! This looks too sexy!!" So for those of you scandalous people with side-swept bangs, just watch your morals, huh? And the things you're teaching those children! :) Hopefully I'll succeed in talking her into keeping it this time.

Speaking of hair, I'm going to really miss having nice hair when we go back to Miami next week. I even wake up with lovely hair - not all sweated in and smoshed around. Welcome back fun buns and pony tails.

I wish I had half, no a quarter of your hair talent. I was pretty spoiled having you next door.

LOVE IT! That makes me tempted to hurry and run over to your moms house right now, before you leave tomorrow A.M. and have you do the same thing to mine! ;) But don't worry, I won't! And I loooove the way you described Julie!

Julie looks fabulous! I must be going to h-e-l-l because I bleach my hair and pixie cut it just to get all the old ladies all riled up at church! Wish I could have been there to join in on all the fun and festivities. Good luck being back home!
