Androgyny

[Ibby]

Clothes? I take them off and put others on, bam, nothings changes.
Hairstyle? I take a shower and style it back different.
Makeup? Wash it off.
Haircut? Wait six months for it to finally grow back to where it was before.

Six months is a good thirtieth of my life. Six-to-eight-weeks is a long time to me. I'm a teenager, remember?

Trust me, you won't be a teenager for long, your hair will grow back at about the same rate as your interest in androgyny wanes.

And don't forget the patchouli!

I hope you weren't expecting me to discourage hir. :-)

I'd stay away from seeking a lot of advice from others; this is one you have to figure out for yourself. It takes a lot of experimentation (which includes making some mistakes, too) for discover your own look. Try stuff, and then gauge your own reaction in mirror/photos. Deep down inside you *know* who you are, even if the true answer can be a bit scary at times.

Just get jiggy with who you *are*...how you *look* will fall out of that pretty naturally.

If it's any comfort, you've got a facial bone structure (from what I can see in that (technically crappy low-light webcamish photo) that could go femme with no problem whatsoever. So if you decide you belong on the other side of the line, you're ahead of the game. Those eyebrows could really kick butt with some careful shaping (by someone who knows how and won't go overboard).
