Tribute to James Douglas ' Jim' Morrison

The Night is young
& full of rest
I can’t describe
the way she’s dress’d
She’ll pander to some strange
requests
Anything that you suggest
Anything to please her guest

- Jim Morrison

   Have I ever mentioned previously that Jim Morrison is my second source of inspiration, after Audrey Hepburn? How is this possible? It's so easy: everybody has both sense and sensibility.
I would define sense as Audrey Hepburn, always elegant, always in control, always kind, and sensibility as Jim Morrison, wild, mad, beautiful, drunk, dreaming, giving up, procrastinating.

   We all remember Jim for his overwhelming voice, for his emotional lyrics, for his thorough poems and for his careless and lazy attitude. But there is also his Fashion style, defined by the leather pants, the hippie shirts, the mystique jewelry, the police sunglasses and the suede boots:

Haircuts and Makeup

   " Some of the worst mistakes of my life have been haircuts." - Jim Morrison

    ... Oh, well, not just for you, my friend! I always leave the hair salon in tears and not only because no hairdresser managed to fulfill my wishes, but also because I lose " points" in one of the most sensual domains: hair. And I am pretty sure that I am not the only one in that awful situation...
   It took me several years to understand that not any haircut suits my oval shaped face... and now that I got the idea... it is quite hard to find a hair stylist who understands and agrees with my opinion. They usually have crazy, Science Fiction ideas that do not apply on my " conservative" perspective when it comes about hair.
   The same happened with makeup. I am obsessed with Audrey Hepburn, geishas and felines. What do they have in common? The eyeliner! So, I use eyeliner for the cat-eye makeup, blush for highlighting my cheeks and nude or red- burgundy lipstick ( it depends on the event). When I go to school I barely use any makeup( just blush) because I am really aware of the ageing process that all products bring, no matter which brand they belong to. I usually wear a ponytail or a ballerina bun... or I just leave it the way it wants to " hang out"; my only problem/ luck is that my hair never looks twice the same.
   I found this link very useful in case we need some piece of advice when it comes about hairstyle and makeup according to our face shape ... they also tell us what sunglasses should we wear :
