Awww I’ll adopt you!! LOL…Btw I actually just got my passport renewed and it took about a week and a half but I paid a whopping $175 for expidited delivery! I think you should do the “Gyaru” look for you passport photo like you mentioned in you other post! I went all out and had big ol’ falsies and 10 layers of bronzer on in mine and it turned out looking awesome beats my old photo of my pimpley, greasy face from 7 years ago hahaha…

I think I put a rush order on my passport renewal, so it was maybe 3-4 weeks before I got a new passport, but I hear it can take a couple of months too.

what a cute scarf/hat set! and really pretty mineral shadows – golden bear looks so sparkly in the sun

hmm, based on everyone’s feedback, it seems like it could take any random number of time to get my passport renewed. looks like i’ll have to focus on other things once i send in my form. i haven’t even taken a new picture, yet, ugh. Thanks for the tips, though, everyone

Amy: my hair is pretty thick, too! the stylist thinned out a LOT of it before dying it. I don’t trust myself to dye my own hair, so I’ve been going to the salon for dramatic color changes.

Tiffany: The winters here are long and VERY gloomy. People who come here claiming they love the rain end up HATING the rain. I cannot warn people of this enough and they think I’m exaggerating when I tell them that winters here are bad enough to hike up suicide rates. That being said, the culture and arts aspect of Portland is great. There are tons of events, large and small, and mostly affordable. The recent sprout of food carts has exponentially increased the charms of this town. The level of eco-consciousness is considerably higher than most cities, so it’s definitely a little more organic and personal than most steel/concrete urban settings.

Dao: The hat is unfortunately too small. I regret that I won’t be able to wear the full set but I am deeply appreciative of the work you put into it!! We should do handmade exchanges more often.

I renewed my passport last year and I got it back in 6-8 weeks. It’s good to just get it done and over with.

Can’t wait to see some FOTDs of Dao’s stuff.

What a fantastic gift!

I LOVE the silver eyeliner!

Don’t worry…I’ve actually gotten to the airport and (1) discovered I left my passport at home; or (2) left my ticket at home!

ooo why do you always look so gorgeous?! Put the hat and scarf on – me wanna see! I hope you get your passport stuff sorted out soon so you can go to Korea. Bring back and show us some Korean goodies! I love Asian products. and love your hair btw; I’ve been meaning to dye it brown, but with my thick, stubborn, dry black Asian hair, it’s awfully hard to dye. How did you get that shade?

ughhh I renewed my passport for a trip to Korea, and I think it took 4 months? I didn’t do the rush delivery since that was $80 extra. Actually I think i applied for a new one entirely, since it was over 10 years old or something, so it doesn’t qualify for a renewal.

Is Portland “artsy” ?
Or should I say, friendly, or “not that gloomy” ?

I’m planning on eiitthherr going to Portland or nyc for graduate school, but I’ve never even been to Portland (my family wants me to go there or Seattle, since nyc, philly, and chicago are “no way are you living there!”)

p.s. by not that gloomy I mean doesn’t rain 24/7. :’(

Aw, you’re welcome girl! Your photos make my pigments look a lot better. It took me about 2 days to crochet the stuff because I do crochet faster than I knit. Did the hat fit you? I always have problems with making hats for people since my orb is humongo Glad you love everything!
