It's kinda something some people do to signal a change is needed/in the air. When I moved cross country at 19 and started a new life, I made a serious change. I went from hair that was so long it went to my butt for so many years to basically a bob haircut and color. Now I don't use color and I'm somewhere in-between length-wise, but sometimes we feel like our old identity has us by the throat and changing our hair/appearance is one of those things we have the most control over...
I think a lot of this could easily apply to Stephanie. Saying she must stay the same for long periods of time because that is what the public expects or wants to see of her is plain silly... there are plenty of celebrities that make dramatic changes to their identity (sometimes in the form of rebelling) and are still well-known after the fact.
Besides, Stephanie just went from theoretically, one ****ty life to a much better one, so this is kinda like shedding that previous ****ty life... it makes complete sense.

Lindsay Lohan
Justin Bieber
Miley Cyrus
Robert Downy Jr.
Angelina Jolie (read up on her past...)
Michael Jackson
I love this topic by the way

It's interesting how you see her new image as being the result of her needing a big change in here life....I just wonder how many changes she needs to display in full public view before she finally appreciates what she's got.......I thought going into BB was her big change and chance to prove herself to the public....then there was the abandoned wedding plans to her partner because she needed change...then there was the new big love of her life who she said finally makes her feel happy and loved for who she is and not for her image, before immediately changing that image yet again ....I liked her in the house, I liked her fighting spirit against the very people she's now turning into....but some folkes just keep on needing dramatic life changes till there's no where left to go except tragedy...pretty much every one on the list above that you think strengthens your view is a fuk up ....one of which didn't stop till he was dead , one of which didn't stop till she'd stolen some ones husband and two of which ended up in jail.
This is about her sudden need to make a dramatic change at the very start of what was supposed to be her new start with Jeremy.
I never said that the public expect her to stay the same for long periods of time so that's a miss quote that you make on my behalf....I said that she wants to be a brand but the majority of the public have only got to know her because of BB and that her decision to drastically change the way she looks is too soon because she's not established her original image yet. I also said it seems an odd thing to do, change your appearance completely from the one Jeremy said he fell in love with only weeks ago...she keeps telling everyone that she just wants to be loved for herself yet as soon as someone has done that she immediately changes herself.
The public don't expect her to stay the same for long periods of time they just want her to stay the same for more than 5 minutes. A lot of people have already spent the last 8 weeks asking themselves who she is and what she actually wants, the image of her and Jeremy was supposed to finally be the answer but apparently not cause now she's gone and changed completely again, this time visually......she's a disaster and it's a shame cause she's a funny girl who is not dumb like others in that house....slowly but surely the TV shows will start shutting her out...it's already happened
