Dooder City said...: I am glad you are embracing the fro and doing the vintage thing with it. It reminds me of the 60's groupie all girl band THE GTO's with Pamela Des Barres. Check their pictures out.; December 22, 2008 at 9:42 AM
Mrs. S said...: I was thinking to myself the other day, could I be any more jealous of how utterly FAB Maegan is? And today you helped me answer that...

Yes. I can. And am.

Looking good lady!; December 22, 2008 at 9:46 AM
ash said...: Maegan! Love this photo shoot! your hair looks stunning :); December 22, 2008 at 9:46 AM
Kellie said...: I wish I could get my hair to do that. It is too smooth and curls fall out almost instantly it seems. It'd take me hours and hours to try to get my hair even remotely like that! :)

Love the photo shoot. It's gorgeous!; December 22, 2008 at 9:48 AM

~alison said...: Ok...these photos are awesome! And I can't believe there wasn't a photographer taking them! Awesome set, too. I particularly like the one with LeRoy's balls.

But seriously - nice job!!!; December 22, 2008 at 12:27 PM
...love Maegan said...: you all are so nice, you're making me smile BIGTIME!

I have to say I love the fro! Every time I walked into the living room, my husband giggled a little. It was so BIG! I also had to go to Maxwell dog like that to get dog food before they closed. I wore a v-neck and sweats and that hair and flower and sunglasses ...Hilarity!

I used sponge rollers on wet hair {see post below} and instead of rolling them from the bottom up {as my mom used to do when I was a kid, I started at the top {like the wavy hair-to video} with each one. And I slept on them. When I took them out I had cute ringlets {see post below} and then I pulled them all apart with my fingers ..I wish I had a pick though. It would have worked better. As the day went on, it got bigger and bigger and bigger.

It was a mess trying to get the curls out in the shower this morning though. SO MUCH CONDITIONER!! It was worth it though. I should do it once a month just for a switcheroo.

Also, I take all the photos myself. I set it up for a custom timer which takes three in a row ..I wish it took like ten in a row though but I seriously get a work out from running back and forth. I just use a Canon elph but I'd like a nice camera with a tri-pod and a remote so I don't have to run back and forth 20million times.; December 22, 2008 at 12:38 PM
RIN said...: you should probably wear your hair like that every single day...or at least once a week.; December 22, 2008 at 12:48 PM
