braid aspirations

I've spent quite a few hours in front of the mirror trying to perfect the bohochicthistook foreverbutI'mgoingtotellyouthatittookmefiveminutes braid. I stand there until my arms are sore and all of my bobby pins are unusable and all I have left to show for it is a super sloppy, unkempt, hmmmm, I don't know if I can even call it a braid. It's more of three pieces of hair that have been forcibly entangled and stuck with pain to my head. The girls in the Wednesday Braid group on Flickr put me to shame. Check out their braid masterpieces.
