‘Tis the time of year for change. As spring approaches, it seems that women can’t just can’t help themselves. We like to shake off our winter doldrums, in favor of new looks for spring. This is just as true for celebrities as it is for us regular folks: just look at Cameron Diaz’s lovely soft brown hair, or Posh’s new blond crop. Since everyone seems to be turning over a new leaf, I thought I’d introduce a new category: Celebrity Makeovers. The first? Lindsay Lohan.

Okay. I’ve been annoyed for Lohan for the past few years. When Mean Girls came out, I really liked her. She was pretty and talented, and seemed like she had the potential for a great career. Plus, she was so cute in The Parent Trap. I just really had high hopes. And then, well, you know…there was the freakish weight loss, the gallivanting with Nicole Richie, the awful blond hair, the permanent orange hue of her overly tanned skin, the constant partying, the rehab…ugh. Lindsay got old fast and I totally lost interest in her.

And then this picture emerged (courtesy of popsugar).

What is this? Is she on set? Actually working? Is her hair really a nice, deep auburn? Is her skin a normal color for a redhead? Is her makeup attractive and well-applied? Is she slender without being bony? Could this be?

Maybe Lohan is making a comeback. Maybe there is hope for her yet. Maybe I’ll start caring again. We’ll see.
