I want it ( long, straight, curly, fuzzy )

Since the hair is easily the most difficult part of this costume, I've decided to start there. I'm sending a lock of my hair to Doctored Locks for their free color matching service. When they tell me what color extensions to order, I'll order the $10 - 15 worth of extensions. Then I'll play with it and see if I can manage the cinnamon buns. If ( Read more... )

That seems to be the extent of my vocabulary today. Last night as well... See, I was silly enough to volunteer to march in a 3 mile parade yesterday in Stormtrooper armor. Our garrison built this incredibly elaborate float based on Jabba's Palace. We had a Jabba, a Max Rebo, a Bib Fortuna, a Rystall, a Slave Leia (who froze her #()$& off), a C- ( Read more... )
