HAIR
AW: Her hair is overdyed. Clearly, she can't tolerate her natural color, even for a second. In her mind, she's a platinum blonde.
AF: It's true — I usually feel my best in this color. My natural dirty blonde just isn't me. Natural to me is staying true to what makes you feel comfortable.

LIPSTICK
AW: Coordinating her top with her lipcolor was a bit of a misfire. The pink says girly.
AF: This lipcolor — Flirt by TIGI Bed Head — is the color that works best on me. That I have on a matching shirt is a coincidence.

EYES
AW: She has really pretty eyes, though it's hard to see them through the heavy liner and mascara. Is she hiding behind the makeup? It makes her look older.
AF: I've heard this before, but it's how I feel sexy and confident. As for looking older, I work in a law firm, where everyone is a lot older.

POSE
AW: Her pose is flirty, a little aggressive. The cocked head and pursed lips say either "Come hither" or "I'm being goofy."
AF: I've got a playful personality. I puckered up for the camera to emphasize my pink lipstick.
