the power is in the bangs

The Bangs
Those last months I had been feeling ugly, undesirable. Taking pictures was a nightmare. I knew I'd look bad. I was feeling really down.

But then I tried and tested a theory. I had this bad hair cut a couple of weeks ago, I didn't knew what to do with the part of my hair that used to be bangs, but that I had grown for months. And, looking at photos that are not so old, and in which I think I look great, I noticed what they all had in common. Bangs! I look cute with the bangs. I look younger. It frames my face in a certain way that makes me feel really adorable when I look on the mirror.

And today, after I successfully curled my hair, after the bangs were trimmed, it all came back to me. I felt beautiful, desirable. I felt like I could seduce, entice again.

I felt like the spell was back on. And isn't it all about confidence? I guess it is.

  1. I'll probably be getting back to oil painting pretty soon and I know this isn't the right time nor the right place to make promises (I have to master the colors, and not the opposite), but I get the feel that someday I'll be painting from this photo every time I look at it. When that day comes, it'll be named "the power is in the bangs - oil on canvas, june 12th, 20XX" =D
