Channeling my inner Kelly...

Have I ever mentioned that I love Kelly Ripa? Yeah, I do. So, last week I was watching Regis and Kelly, and I about died when I saw how darling her hair was! She had it in a side updo twist, and I really wanted to recreate it. Check out this link and click on the 3rd one down, Tour Guide Kelly:

DARLING, right? Well, unfortunately I only have about 1/3 of the thickness of her hair, but I was determined to recreate it anyway. Disclaimer: Not only is it super uncomfortable to take picture of myself, it is also incredibly difficult!

What do you think?

I think I should have left more hair out in some cute curls by my cheek, like she has it, but I need another head of hair to accomplish what she does. ;)

My friend Nancy blogged about taking pictures of the back of your hair, and how it would become addictive. I have to say that my arms were aching so bad by the time I finally got a decent shot of it...it is much harder than it looks! (Plus my camera weighs a million pounds!)

That style is really cute, I always think your hair looks great! That blouse you have on (silver/gray with ruffles?) looks really cute too!

Very cute! And, I think your adorable side-swept bangs make up for the curls on the side. I am quite impressed with your self-portrait taking skills...great job!

Very cute, Joy! I have about 3 times the thickness of Kelly's hair so I'd totally look like Amy Winehouse if I tried to pull off that do, lol. It's adorable on you though!!
