Makeup

Oh, after reading about Robyn's hair adventure, I realized that I fibbed earlier. :p

When I first got my hair cut super short (like about 1.5" all around), it only took one person to call me "Sir" to push me into the world of makeup. So to work, where I had contact with other humans, I wore mascara and eye shadow (and earrings!). But no makeup on weekends.

Of course since I'm not working at the moment it doesn't even occur to me to put makeup on. Plus, like Robyn, I'm attempting to grow my hair out a tad, so I'm not looking so "Sir-like" anymore. Robyn, I have lots of cute hats to disguise my hair once off the bike :rolleyes: and, like FGG recommends, I often wear a Buff while riding since it kind of doubles as a hat when I take my helmet off. I noticed that the latest Terry catalog has Buffs that match their other clothing. Cute!

I haven't thought about the skullcap or buff. Right now, any riding I do (only one outdoor ride this month) is with a hat for warmth under my helmet. I usually start my season in March, but since I live in New England, my outdoor riding can be on and off until well up through April. Last year it rained right up through the middle of June...
well, back to hair. I might try one of the above accessories. My husband swears by the skullcap to keep cool and warm. I'm not sure if wearing one will help achieve my goal of not looking like a monster when I take the helmet off. I generally look pretty bad in hats; I love them, but I have a teeny head and putting any kind of head covering on sort of accentuates that and makes me look weird. I finally found a small sized headband at Terry, which I wear for x country skiing when it isn't too cold. Regular winter hats are always falling down over my eyes. I have the same problem buying eyeglasses; all the cool looking ones look awful on me. I ended up getting my reading glasses in a kid's frame! Mostly, I wear contacts, but my bifocals are also kid's frames. I have until March 17th to decide about my hair. That's the date for my next trim.
