		<description>Seriously, how many Jess-s are there running around here?

To echo the words of everyone else thus far- you do look fantastic.  I would post counter-glamor pics, but so far nobody has offered to help me with the arduous hours-long process of getting into a dress kimono, so I shall have to remain unglamorous for now.

Also a note on the post above above (why split comments?)- I think it&#039;s great that you&#039;re getting to teach and that you&#039;re enjoying myself!  I completely sympathize with the &quot;not seeing myself as a teacher bit&quot;- It&#039;s a surreal transformation, I think, but if your photos are any indicator, you&#039;re having a great time at it.

cheers!

		<description>Hey, Sis! 

That&#039;s incredible! I opened your page and just saw the hair--and wondered, &quot;Can this really be Ariel?&quot; That&#039;s quite impressive. The makeup is also ridiculous--is the photo really not airbrushed at all? That said, you look lovely and I really like the pictures. It&#039;s fascinating to see you in Laotian understanding of beauty, since you&#039;re very beautiful yo self. :) Oh, and I&#039;m assuming the hair spray is temporary...

I love you and plan to respond to your wonderfully-massive email over break (in two days!). Thanks for taking the time to email me!
