How not to look like Justin Bieber

So as I put my glasses on tonight and got out of the tub I noticed something very peculiar/disturbing/face-palmingly sobering.
Pretty much a web cam picture of me.  You
wouldn't know the difference anyway.
So, I realized the urgency of blogging about how not to look like hipster Justin Bieber when you are a girl with short hair and bold glasses.  It's very specific, I know.

When your hair is short it is very important to dress like a girl.  You want to wear things that accentuate your curves and your neck (especially if you have a shorter pixie cut).  Make-up is also key.  You don't have to wear a lot, but it really  helps if you can create contrast in your features.  You see, the thing that makes girls look like girls and guys look like guys isn't so much facial structure as it is contrast in the features' colors (i.e. make-up).  Girls' faces have higher contrast.

I'm hoping to soon have my pixie cut a bit longer.  Hair grows about 1.25 centimeters per month (that's about 0.5 inches!)  By the time summer is over and I'm in college I think it's safe to say I'll have a cut that looks more girly and easier to make look girly.


Of course then I'll be quickly approaching the mullet stage... *cue dramatic music*

BAD
My advice for people dealing with the mullet thingy.  Chop it off.  Just take some scissors and keep hacking that tail until the rest of your hair can catch up.  It's not worth keeping on there.  Just no.  But I digress.

And now I will grudgingly put a webcam shot of me up to reiterate my point.

My name is Jessie and I do not approve of this message.
