I may be in too deep (or at least in a different part of the pool)

So I may be, uh, attempting to do a thing. Possibly for Star Wars Celebration next July, possibly just for practice and to change my Facebook profile pic and weird out all my high school classmates who thought I went off to a fancy university to be, like, cool and successful and stuff.







I am not entirely certain what I am doing and may regret this; I am also trying to figure out what to do with my hair, which at the moment is just past bra-strap length and at least is not waist-length anymore. It's braided and pinned up here (no wig cap, I ordered one), but maybe smaller braids? Or something? Xena suggested pin curls. Alternately I guess I could just give in to my urge to chop all my hair off and go full Sabine.

It's looking great!

I mean, so far I haven't really done anything to it. (I bought the lekku. I am not crafty enough to make them. I do words.) Still...still working on that part, heh.

Looking great! ...your sweater makes me see Imperial Hera here.

That may have been the reason I grayscaled it, heh.

I think that your hair up like it is works very well!

As I am reminded every time I go to detangle my below-waist length hair, if you cut it off, it takes a while to grow back. (But it does grow back! So if you want to be Sabine, try it! I would suggest a wig first, though, to see if you like the look of short hair.)

Well, I can definitely fit my hair in the headpiece, but it does make my head feel squished, which is kind of a problem if I want to wear it for more than an hour. (Though I'm going to cut out space for my ears, which is supposed to make it feel less tight -- my ears will be covered by the headband, anyway. I want to wait on that until I've got a hairstyle figured out and have tried it with the wig cap that I ordered.)

Yeah, I am going back and forth on whether I want to chop all my hair off and dye it bright colors -- I haven't had short hair since elementary school. It will grow back, but it will be a while.
