lauren corleone

well, no one was commenting on my superbowl post. and i have things to say, so i'm moving on:)
well kids...minus my freckles and lack of appropriate family background, i officially look like i belong in the godfather. that's right, i dyed my hair blackish brown last night (it's a few shades darker than kari's). GASP! i'm sure you're all recoiling at the thought. but before you imagine me as the bride of some failed science experiment, let me tell you that it looks pretty good, and fairly natural. i just wanted to do something different. something that i would usually never do. i actually think it makes my pale skin and blue eyes look more natural. but it also kind of reminds me about how in the little mermaid when ariel is a human with red hair, but she doesn't have her voice because she sold it to the sea witch ursula so she could be a human, but then ursula becomes a human who looks just like ariel and she has ariel's voice, but she has black, evil hair. i hope that's not what's happening here. i'm sure i will remain at the same level of evilness with my new hair color. the best part is that i really do look like i could be in the godfather. i've been making offers that people can't refuse all day long!! and after i go to the mattresses, i'm going to send a few people to sleep with the fishes!
well, this has been a really egocentric post, and for that i apologize. maybe it will just echo back in my ears anyway, since no one reads my blog anymore because i never post anything new. everyone have a great week!
take the canoli,

Hi Lauren! You make me laugh. I like that.

Your post reminded me of the time I colored my hair using a package of Henna I'd acquired in Russia, supposedly dark red. Big mistake. My hair went from brunette to bright orange in one unforgettable afternoon. Lesson: never experiment on your hair a few months before your wedding! Luckily my devoted fiancee stuck with me.

Your new look sounds gorgeous, though. Can't wait to see it!

Friend, you will only go from one shade of beautiful to another. I can't wait to see it.

I just saw a picture of me from college when my hair was jet black, and it made me think of all the wonderful hair colors I experimented with during those days. If only I had taken more pictures.

Lauren, Hi! It's David's mom and yes I remember showing up at his dorm in Texas and he greated me with "This is NOT the color I was going for." Believe it was grey he was attempting.
Shan went from blond to multiple shades of brown over night this fall.
It's just hair, God created color and it all grows out eventually and you can try again.
Just if you come to the Dominican and buy haircoloring, even if it is a US brand; if there are two packets of color, do NOT assume that they gave you an extra packet. I almost went from Macadamia (light blond) to the deepest, darkest shade of black 3 days before coming to the States to visit churches!

Lauren - Lyndie had a fabulous comment to post last night and I accidentally screwed it up. It said a good deal about you being lovely and how Ben Roethlisberger looks like a hippy and how she actually understood most of what Danny was talking about in his lietter to Mike Holmgren and how she cheered for the Seahawks just to spite Danny but kept referring to them as the Seaducks.

Lauren Mott said...

aww, lynnie! it's ok about your comment. i believe you!! the sea ducks make me laugh!! that's hilarious. i really wish i had a digital camera to send you pics of my hair. not because it's anything spectacular, but because it's SO different. landon almost cried when he saw me, because i look so different than i have ever looked in my life. brian and janie are coming this weekend, and they will probably take pics, so hit them up for the copies sometime...a trip to greenville doesn't seem to be in the near future for me:(
i'm glad that we can all keep in touch via blogging...it's fun:)
love/miss you at the same time.
lo

lyndie said...

and also how, if people keep "inspiring" me, i might dye my hair the color that yours used to be. whaddya think?
speaking of digital cameras, did i tell you that i'm going to be getting one soon (a belated BD present)! yay!

i also said how i was very touched by your birthday song. it was less embarrassing b/c you didn't sing it to me in person (thanks anyway LIFE groupies). 24... *dazed and confused look*
