kirsten dunst, circa 2004

07Jul08

i was going through some of my old magazines and found one of my favorite issues of Vogue, July 2004. kirsten dunst is on the cover and is featured in a wonderful spread. it still kills me four years later. i want to look like this all of the time.

(don’t you love how i just took photos of the magazine instead of scanning the pages?)

i love the spirit of the photos, the clothes, and her hair. i have taken this issue to the hairdresser so many times as an example of what i want. which leads me to my next conundrum: to cut or not to cut?

here’s what i look like right now (i took this with the camera on my computer):

here’s what it looked like not too long after i got it cut in this bob-shape:

here are a couple of examples of what i looked like with various versions of the ‘kirsten’:

i also was growing out the remainder of my platinum hair, which is a whole other discussion: to lighten or not… i’m leaning toward the shorter cut, but i do maybe just need a trim on this bob? the bangs are too long to wear with a center part. ugh. i don’t know. maybe the secret is just to look down all of the time, like i am in the short hair photos. that’s my favorite pose for photos. it’s surprisingly flattering.
