When she and I first met I did not like her either
But once I saw other peoples restyles and got her out of that crappy box and de-bumped her I warmed up to her!
I loved her long curly hair (very Jersey)
But I couldnt get it to maintain the same wet look when hair was dry.
I loved how she looked wet but once hair was dry it just looked dry and cheap!
No matter what I put in it; Wig Spray, Hair Gel even Hand Cream!

I saw this wonderful updo tutorial on Flicker by Think_Pink and also a member on the Wclub (bittersweet)
who used the same style

I (Happily) boiled Anja straight chopped off the ends and pinned every frizzy unkempt curl in to a bun!
The best part was sticking the pins in her head!
NOW
She looks like a Fashion Royalty Girl!
