I have to agree with your mom on the blond over dark hair. Something like hers. Here’s a pic of what I mean:

I think that would look really cute on you. AND I bet your mom would let you do it. ;)

I want Avril hair. I think she is freaking gorgeous. And her hair is her best feature. The long blond over dark just like it is on the front page picture here is what I’d like to eventually end up with. I need to get myself a straightening iron. WIth it and a professional color job I think I could get close.
