Was that meeee????

Are you sure that's you hehe 🙂

I think we should all put up our before and after pics!

I would not have recognised you Mathurine!
You looked good before, but so much younger and brighter now.
I will need to dig out an old pic of me for a before and after lol

I know right? I mean I realise that I wasn't wearing make up in the first picture and I am in the second one but even so, that's one heck of a difference. My daughter just took a look and said, "oh my, was that you?" She kind of remembers me looking that way but everyone just thinks of me as "pink dreads person" these days.

Wow, what a difference! I much prefer the dreads on you, they're so bright and fun, and I absolutely adore the colours that they are in that picture! Your children are so lucky to have an alternative mummy, I would have been ridiculously chuffed if my mother had pink hair when I was a child. :3

Love the dreads on you, they make you look much younger and prettier.

WOW!!!! what a amazing difference!! You look good in the first piccie, but fabulous in the second, and the dreads and colours suit you sooo much, theyre just YOU!! 😀

Wow!  It's such an amazing difference!

What an awesome difference! 😀

I think the dreads look so great on you!  It's an amazing difference.  I've seen this before too.  After my mom started doing her hair turquoise for a while, I completly forgot that she had been bleach blond for the first twenty years of my life beforehand.  I had to strain to remember what it looked like. XD

It's similar with a friend of mine too.  We met a few years ago when I had normal hair.  We were talking the other day and she said that having blue hair was so 'me'.  I asked her, "Really?  Even though you met me with normal hair?"  She said, "Oh, did I?  I forget.  I always think you of as having blue hair."

OH MY GOSH!!!
No way is that you!!!!!!
That is like a complete transformation!!

*gets over shock*

Those dreads make you look amazing Matty 🙂

Its amazing what a hairstyle can do for you!

You dint look old before just normal, (hate the word) but now you look so vibrant and out there! 🙂

your such a total babe matty

Wow Mathurine, you look so different. I like how you look in the first pic, but with the brightly coloured dreads and eyebrows you look amazing, and a bit younger too 🙂

Thanks everyone - especially Pippa who gets my lovings for the next week and a half now. ;D

I remember seeing an interview with Pete Burns and they asked him why all the surgery and face changes etc. He said that when he looked in the mirror he felt that it wasn't him looking back. Now he feels like it's the man he was born to be. That's kind of how I feel about me too.

The me in the first picture was "ok" and I didn't mind her but I kept changing my hair around because I was trying to find my look in there somewhere. Years ago I had braids and I felt more "me" back then but peer pressure made me take them out and I regretted it. I'd always wanted dreads but back then they were considered "dirty". So I got braids as a "clean" alternative.

Now that dreads are more accepted I decided to go for them and immediately knew I'd done the right thing. Again, when I dyed them bright pink I felt more comfortable. I had black dreads underneath at first but it wasn't right. So I changed them to green. Again, not right. I went to full pink with orange at the ends but the orange went dark, probably due to leakage from the pink. So this time I went pink, orange and yellow at the ends to allow for the colour run and bam! Pink and orange dreads! And yeah... That's me.
