Grad Prep: New Hairstyle

How often do I prepare for a legit photoshoot? Come one! More or less five only. Now is another chance to showcase how I want to be seen in our yearbook.
 
I do not have to worry about my picture in graduation toga and in business attire. Those are provided in the set. Creative shot, however, needs more preparation. But as it turns out, I can still manage to achieve what I had in mind by sticking to simplicity yet appearing grand.
 
As early as December 2013, some students have already made an appointment to schedule their pictorial. Since I was not part of that first group, I have not given my style that much thought. I don't want to be stressed out for something I can think about later on. I had to do the first things first.
 
I tried to think simple, something that will look impressive (like in a cosplay convention) but still grounded on simplicity. Only two was shorlisted as I was looking for options.
 
A) An anime character - Kaito Kid:
 
B) A book character - Artemis Fowl:
 
After much deliberation, I went with Artemis because as I listed the pros and cons, his look is more achievable with what I presently have. I know that I won't be disappointed. The appeal of this shot excites me on executing this to a reality. I'd also like to try a Kaito Kid imitation, but I guess that can be planned in the near future. Right now, I'll focus on this photoshoot. You know, cosplay can be a hobby that is very expensive. I can only do so one at a time.
 
The first step is getting a haircut, which becomes something new to me as I will be asking for a style I haven't tried yet. Growing up, I only chose between a crew cut and a barber's cut. Now, I will take the mushroom style. I don't know how to present this kind of hair on a daily basis but this change is quite good. I'm liking it. I'm just not sure how often I'll have this kind of haircut. We'll see!
