My Alter Ego

My alter ego is a badass. (i.e. things I will never do. Or be.)

-She dyes her hair black and pink, and has uneven blunt bangs in differing lengths. (I used to go to shows/concerts back when I could stay up past 10. I have blonde hair and wear flip flops. Needless to say, I didn't fit in. But all the girls that went to the shows always had sweet hair that I am sure their parents didn't approve of. I wanted hair that my parents didn't approve of. Alas, I am boring and prefer natural colors. There were select few times in my life that I did something "different" to my hair. I have included these pictures for your enjoyment. I'll have you know the mullet was REALLY popular in the 90s. I think. Although I consistently wore my blue basketball tee-shirt jersey, floral leggings, and black high top converses outfit to school as well, so there is that.)

-She wears a black leather pantsuit and boots a la Kate Beckinsale in Underworld. (Please see Leather Pantsuits and Bustiers: My Alter Ego's Business Casual for a detailed recount of my obsession with this particular outfit.)

-She is a ballerina. (I was once a ballerina for a very short time. I was going to be a butterfly in the recital. I came down with a raging case of chickenpox, and could not be in the recital. I watched in the back. I felt like a leper. My ballet career shortly ended after that. Due to this unfortunate series of events, I have it in my head that I could have been a professional ballerina if I had never gotten the chicken pox. This has ultimately led to me dancing "ballerina-y" around the room after watching ballets, musicals, So You Think You Can Dance, etc. My husband may or may not know that I do this. I also buy things that I think ballerinas would wear. See below. I also twirl way too much in skirts. But that's just because I love skirts and twirling. Who doesn't?

Lessons:

1) Never attempt the mullet. Ever again.

b) Invest in some leather and diversify my wardrobe.

III) Continue to dance in living room in full ballerina regalia.
