Monday

In which I look totally fucking emo.

Backstory: This coming Saturday there's an audition in town that I was considering going to. Even though I would have to get there late, because my Business Venture ties me up for a good chunk of my Saturdays. I can't let that stop me! Plus, I think I would be well-suited to that one role. No, not the sax player. I am not in the slightest bit emo, but I have range. Although, ironically, and for the first time ever, I may be too tall.

Of course, if you read all the small print, winning the audition would include not simply playing an emo character, but ... becoming part of an actual emo band. And while I would love to play a character and/or be in a band, there are certain lines that cannot be crossed. Which lead me to my decision of "no."

But!! Not until I had already tarted myself up emo-style to prove to myself I could. And took pictures. For the record, this is generally what my awesome new hair looks like. It looks even better when I'm not wearing all black and lipstick for eyeliner.

Emo!
Emo!!
Emo!!!

I feel the strange urge to get a MySpace.

Your hair is ridiculously long, and you look ferociously gorgeous. Even as an emo!

Hot! I was expecting something much more over the top. If you showed up somewhere like that, I wouldn't think you were "dressed up" in a weird way. Does that make me strange?

Amy said...

Heath - Probably not. I have a skewed vision of what being "dressed up" is. See, I never wear makeup, and I don't tend to dress in any sort of, um, style. So whenever I do anything different on those fronts, it looks like a big difference to me, even though I know most people probably wouldn't think so.

One time I did a screen test, and they wanted me to wear red lipstick. I got on the bus, and I could swear that everyone was staring at me. With scorn. And I felt the ridiculous urge to explain my appearance. I don't normally look like this.

I'm the same with "dressing up." Also, you're so beautiful. Also, the verification word was fokka, but I navigated away from that page. Now it's ijmjjv, which is *so* not as good.

Ha. Forgot to change from P@ to myself.

Red eyeliner is HOTT.

I applaud you for your moral decision not to audition.

I'm kinda disappointed you're not auditioning. Cool pictures, though! Even if I'm not accustomed to the red eye thing. I like the hair.

Annika said...

Whoa. You look awesome. You can be in MY emo band.

Emo Amy is hot! Love the hair.
