The Tam of Youth

Posted: June 8, 2015
Worn: January 4, 2014

Some people look for a fountain, but I found it in a hat. Can you believe I was 33 when I made these pictures? I scarcely believe it myself and I was there.

I've known about this effect of my tam for some time and it can be seen in lesser degree the first time I took pictures of it.

I do a bit of superhero costuming at fandom conventions (Pictures someday!) and spandex catsuits tend to have a similar effect on my appearance.

My bangs separated like this often for most of 2014, though never moreso for a photoshoot than in this one. They finally grew long enough to stop separating, though now the trick is to keep them covering my forehead.

I chose Tuesday as the day to update this blog because I'm almost always home Tuesday. But this Tuesday I'm won't be, so I'm updating a day early.
