Inspiration from the past: Fuchsia's Great-Grandmother

Fuchsia has not been around lately, as you might have noticed. She simply did not want her photo to be taken.

 

"I need a change," she kept saying. "I've always been the same since high school. Even though my heart remains that of a child" -there she stopped and threw a glance at me- "I'm a young woman now and have many responsibilities... Perhaps I should do like most of the women and start with a change in my hair..? My long hair gets in the way when I'm taking care of animals anyway..."

 

So her search began. Weeks passed by and she still couldn't be sure about what her new style would be. Then she found it. In her family album, hidden between two pages that were stuck to each other due to age: a studio photograph of her great-grandmother, taken in the 20's. "I've been told before that I resembled her a lot, but never knew we looked like twins!"

 

You can guess the following part of the story ^_^ She fell in love with the photo, put it in her bag and off she went. To the hairdresser's.
