self portrait as...

...dark chocolate brown.


I grew up in the center of America's blonde universe - the Southern California beach - and never, ever, not even once wasn't singularly proud of having dark chocolate brown hair. It is one of my favorite things about me (thanks Dad).

I am thrilled with the return of the enormous sunglasses - ahhhh, chocolate tortoise shades. I will never go back to small frames - ever.

And the frosty scoop of dark chocolate ice cream from Rainbow - San Francisco ice cream purveyor extraordinaire? Simply perfect.

More self portraits here.

You are the 2nd person to mention Austin, I'd love to visit there someday!
I too grew up in the land of blond (manhattan beach)but never felt like I wanted to be anyone other than me with my dark brown hair. The most surprising thing was finding out how pale my skin actually is, once I moved away. Safe travels. (=

Oh and I forgot to mention the tortise sunnies....I'm loving a pair that I got at Urban Outfitters, on sale even. They really work on so many levels, even beyond just looking dang cool.
