Trying out some new looks

I've been trying out a few looks given my modelling gig on Friday.

Always wondered what I would look like blonde. Of course now that I've said that, I'll have some horrible accident which will necessitate dying it blonde. 

This makes me look like a nanny.
(my mum really likes it :\  )

Also green eyes and red hair. Not creepy at all. Imagine the halo as some cute sweatband.

Like I didn't look like a little boy already.

The lipstick really draws attention away from the bars.

Maybe I'll just stick with the classic look, and rock the Blue Steel.

Sah pretty. 

Ten days, you guys!

The Aluminum Monster

I normally wear a shirt under the brace, and a loose one over the brace, so not many people in public have seen the full kit. Today I happened to be wearing my dress underneath, so here's what that looks like.

This is the height of fashion for me right now!

Alright, Stop! Shower Time.

One good thing about having been on a months-long camping trip prior to breaking my neck, is that I had already come to terms with an intermittent shower schedule. Compared to some of the roughest, hottest, filthiest terrain that Australia has to offer, the amount of filth I develop sitting around the house is negligible.

Still, I wish to retain a 'social life' and 'basic human standards', so foregoing showers completely isn't an option. After four weeks, I think I've found my groove.

Under the jump is my routine. I don't talk about anything funky, but you probably only need to read it if you have a halo brace and are trying to do things independently because you are hardcore and don't need to lean on anybody.

This is probably going to be my first move after the halo comes off.

Another week down! It has been a very busy week.

Hair Today, Gone Tomorrow

Hanako kindly came around today to cut my hair into a more aesthetically pleasing style. At the hospital, I had been rocking a mad mohawk, but that was impractical for the long-term. No hair washing since I can't get my head wet for 3 months, and the bars prevent me from doing any meaningful grooming. So as soon as I got home, I asked Greg to shave the rest off.

He did the best he could under the circumstances, but his clippers were no match for the silky softness that was my hair. The hair was shorter but that's really all you could say.

So after a couple of days of looking like a little scrub, Hanako came around wielding her magic scissors. Although she didn't have much to work with, she actually managed to do something with it!

Lucky, as the doctor said, "[You] have a very symmetrical head".

I'll miss my long hair and will dedicate all of my resources to growing it back as soon as the brace comes off. For now though, it is delightfully cool and low-maintenance.
