OMG..... I'm sorry i just couldnt resist being a smartass....

[Shade Everdark]

Well, we've been smartassed, and we've been eyerolled.

Off to a fantastic start.

You there. You'll make a fine subject to begin our little experiment with!!

So here we have miss shortstuff in skull themed PJ bottoms, a pink top, and black platform candles. For street clothes, I actually like this particular combination on her. Sure the pink is a bit tart, but who says goth has to be all gloom and doom? The green eye shadow is picking up the color in the pants... The rest of the makeup is restrained with just a hint of her usual dark and evil self to keep people guessing. My only complaint is the necklace. A little too much bling for what the rest of the outfit. I'd have stuck with a simple leather corded one.

One and three-quarters thumbs up.

Shade? What say you?

Quite so!

If we didn't already have a contract with Troy, I would let you join us. That is the hottest outfit since Dorthy's white and blue checked number from the Wizard of Oz.

You should get rid of that boyfriend of yours and move to Kentucky. Other then that... I got nuthin.

PM me a photo... I still carry an image in my head of you from two years ago when we first met. Don't ask me why...

Well, now. You've hit most of the major points solidly; the necklace may too much for an airy outfit like this, but the green in the nails and eyeshadow does quite well with the tones in the PJs. It's sassy, sexy, and says, 'I may be goth, but I'm not afraid to be out in the sun.' As a matter of personal taste, though, I'd have to say no on the pink top. It just doesn't seem to mesh well with the rest of the green, to me. Of course, it does have other things to recommend it...it's your call.

Really? Because there's a pic floating around there somewhere of me in a thong, and only a thong.

Okay, one for the gurus. Hair. Long or short? I've been growing my hair out but it is starting to get on my nerves. I get alot of compliments on it but I'm thinking of going w/ a bob-cut.

Do you have a pic that's closer to your face? Facial features and the size and shape of the head are important factors...

You asked for it.

Not twice, though.

I'm going to agree with your friends. The long hair suits you. I think the top part could be styled differently. It looks like you're not quite sure what you want it to do. I'd grow it out and get rid of the bangs first. Is it naturally wavy?

[Msterbeau]

Oops... Just saw in your thread KK that you're on the left. I thought you was on the right. Silly me. I'm still going to say long hair is better.

[Medea]

Well Marc, you know what I look like.

What kind of haircuts do you think would suit me?

No I am the one on right, I was being a smartass. Couldn't help myself.

I have straight hair naturally but I perm it. I have bangs because I feel like I have a huge forehead.
