I've wanted to wear lipstick since I was a little girl. I wore a dark brown lip gloss my senior year in high school that looked absolutely crazy on me. I'm on a quest to find lipsticks that I am comfortable with. I still need some pink and a good red. If I could find a red that I'm confident wearing out of the house I will have reached my ultimate lipstick goal. I have a red that I really like my NYX, but I feel like red is a really big deal and I don't have anything to wear it with right now. Its time is coming though.

This album will chronicle my journey to hip length. I haven't really been diligent about documenting my progress, but it's better late than never. I'm going to try to take pictures every few months to add to this folder and if all goes well I'll be at hip length by March 2013. It will be exactly 6 years from my BC. Perhaps I'll make my goal even sooner. We'll see. I'll keep you all posted.

7/26/10 Based on my last length check, I think I could actually reach hip length in 2012. My nape currently measures at 12 inches, so I only need 8 more inches to reach my tail bone. I'm only 5'1". I'm pretty sure I can achieve that in two years time. Can't believe I'm only a couple of years away from reaching my goal.

8/12/11 I feel like I'm almost starting over because my hair is the same length it was when I first started this album. I recently cut about 6 or 7 inches to get rid of my layers. I wanted my hair to be one length. I'm going to start measuring my hair with my tape measure because in some of the pictures it looks like my hair isn't growing. I like the comparisons I can make with my stripped shirt, but I think the tape measure will allow me to be even more accurate.
