The End Is Near

I've been trying to think of new things to observe about modesty that I haven't before, and the truth is...

I think I've settled into this, and I'm fully used to living modestly.

Don't get me wrong: I still (yes, still) dream at night of having long, flowing hair. I still wish I could expose my arms (especially in the summer in Georgia... guuuuuh) and I'm officially tired of covering my head because it's a pain in the butt to tuck up all my hair. But at this point, I'm pretty used to it. The other day I did my hair and used some of the random makeup I had lying around for fun, and I was surprised by how much fun it was. Even after all this, getting pretty is still enjoyable for me.

Now I'm planning for the afterparty! WOOOOO! It'll be 9/17 (the day after I turn 30, but I'm going to drop the experiment the night of the party cause it'll be fun for me); contact me for details, if you'd like to attend. I'm going to set up an anonymous comments book for people to write in regarding how I look to them, any changes they've seen, and anything else they'd like to observe but might not be comfortable saying to my face. I'll reprint my results here. Some comments will be positive, and I anticipate some being negative (in fact, I hope a few are, because I want to know what people REALLY think of this whole thing, and the anonymous book will give them an opportunity to do that).

Any ideas for the afterparty? I have a party planning buddy and I'm sure she'll comment (NM, you know who you are!), but do YOU have any ideas?
