Fine then, I shall just go as a hussy
Tomorrow I'm going to the Dickens Christmas Fair (a victorian themed thing) with a dear old friend of mine. Hers was the Doctor Who/Victorian themed wedding, so it's going to be a costumed affair...and they say you never get to reuse old bridesmaid dresses, heh. Anyway, while I am not a serious costume person, I do know that just leaving my hair in its usual style (straight down my back) will look odd with the whole fancy victorian get up. So I spent an hour looking for some easy appropriately victorian up do I could throw together tomorrow morning. And guess what? I found a whole bunch!
.... All for people with hair thick enough to make bridge cables.
Seriously, it all looks gorgeous, but it's pretty useless for me, whose hair at its thickest point will only create a pony tail an inch in diameter. (At the wedding, I was happy we were all wearing hats, because the chosen fancy-tiny-tight-braids-on-the-scalp style made me look bald, heh). If I'd given it any thought, I might have dug up some old orthodontics rubber bands (hoarded for just this reason) and washed my hair and put it in like thirty five little braids and then I would have had the puffiest, thickest looking hair of all (my hair may be fine, but there is an awful lot of it.) and then I could have drafted my friend into putting it into one of those nifty hairstyles, but I didn't think of that in time so instead, I shall go as a hussy.
