Ok, so it has been a busy week and I haven’t had time to write. I will try to update briefly.

I have been working more consistent shifts at Starbucks. I am starting to get the hang of it, but still feel at times I’m letting everyone down. I just need to remember that I have only been working there for three weeks, it’s ok that I don’t know everything perfectly yet.

I also started an experiment. There is such a stereotype about girls in LA. All girls are supposed to be really thin with big boobs and blonde hair to be successful. I wanted to see if I would be treated differently based on just one of those factors. Would people treat me differently with blonde hair? So I bought a long blonde wig and wore it out. The larger breast experiment is yet to come.

Side note: I bought my wig at the same place Britney Spears bought her wigs after she shaved her head. I thought that was kind of funny.

I went out with some friends to The Grove. The experiment didn’t go as well as I had hoped. I didn’t really interact with people just walking around the mall. I thought a bar might be a better place to interact, but I was with such a large group that no one approached us. I need to find a way to go out with the wig to a place where I really interact with people to see if there is a difference in the way I am treated.

The experiment continues.
