Check out Penny's "Before" photo to the right here. Now go check out her "After" photo here. Hottest makeover ever, right? And can you believe the hair??

I'll admit, I can't always pull off the latest trends and my last foray into hipness was met with disaster and shame. But when I heard "Mimosa" had been declared the color for 2009 by Pantone, I was like, whaaaaaaaaa?

I’m going to take a bold (ha!) stance and say no, heck no, would I ever spend that much on an eyeliner.
