Beauty is in the Eye of the Beholder...

I walked around campus today with really...umm...interesting hair...

OK, so really, it was pretty ugly. It's really short, and it was twisted in all sorts of "artistic" ways to begin with and held with bobby pins. One section of hair was wrapped around some tweezers, and then several different silk flower budlets were placed all over. These flower budlets happen to come from a little flower pot thing that I got from the YW leaders on my birthday...

it was pretty bad folks.

Now, I don't really have to do a challenge when I don't want to, but I'll do things because I think that they're funny. This hairstyle, and the possible reactions to it struck me as something that could be funny, so I left it in.

I have to say that I didn't get as many reactions as I would have expected. I got a few funny looks from people, especially ones that I didn't know, and I turned a few heads...which doesn't usually happen. I did get a couple of compliments...which makes me laugh. I think sometimes people feel the need to say something about an outfit when they notice it's different from usual, even if it looks terrible.

I was thinking about the way I looked, and what other people might have thought as they passed by, and I wondered how many people that I've looked at and thought, "woah...that's...interesting" were really doing it just because it was something that they thought would be funny too...

So from now on, when I see people whose hair, make-up, or clothing I wonder about, I think I'll just look briefly, and appreciate their sense of humor...because I sure hope that that's what people where doing for me.
