QotD: Total Transformation

What's the most drastic change you've ever made to your appearance?

When I was 20, I shaved my head. Yup. I went form looking like a nondescript big-boned hippie to looking not unlike a 12 year old boy who wore clothes with the word "Husky" on the labels. Thank goodness they didn't have digital cameras back in good ol' 1996. And I was smart enough to burn the negatives.

Part of me misses the shaved head. I've always wanted to do it again except for that now I care if a haircut (or outfit or grooming style) is unflattering. Back then, I was all "appearance means nothing." The less flattering the haircut (or outfit or grooming style) the better as far as I was concerned. The natural self defense mechanism of a chubby girl with body issues.
