Just a few days ago, I drove a car from Dalby to Lund. I had this new shirt and wife beater. I also had combed my hair carefully and styled it with expensive wax. But then I suddenly got an incredible urge to just crank down the window completely and stick my head out like a dog. Tongue fluttering in the wind, my hair like a scarecrow driving Formula 1 and all that jazz. 

When we arrived and I stepped out of the car, E shrieked upon seeing me. Naturally, I had a big smile on my face. 

Three steps in the process of daring to be ugly: 

- Cut out the makeup, hair and other products for a full day to begin with. 

- Take a hat or a cap to avoid thinking about your hair. If you're really hardcore, forget the hat and just let the hair flutter. 

- Put on the most beautiful clothes you have, combined with loose, well-fitting slippers or shoes and head out on the town. Wear a pair of big sunglasses so you can relax and study people's reactions.
