RED Victorians

Costume College Hair: My first costume and historic hairstyle of of the weekend, the 1840s. This I created this with my own hair, supplemented with clip-in sausage curls in the front and a curl to finish off (read: cover the pins) the high bun. I was super happy with the results, although I have to say no matter how well done, I think RED hair with a somber Victorian dress is a bit too jarring!

the finished Roman hair

Costume College Hair: First up - my finished Roman Hair. I loved everything about this look, it was my favorite hair of the weekend!

home from Costume College 2014

I had a fabulous time in LA! Somehow I was able to finish all my hair before my plane left Virginia. It was a race to the finish though!

I have lots of photos of my finished work to share but I need to recover from jet-lag and catch up on some real life first...

Roman hair fun

Heat resistant hair + perm rod + steamer

 

So tired of rope braids and rolling perm rods! It doesn't really look like it but my hair pieces are finally coming together. I'm super behind though, ahhh! I really need time to stand still for a day or so if anyone can arrange that... I have to say my Roman hairpiece is my favorite - having WAY too much fun with this one!

three short days

Today's goal? HAIR! I need to arrive in LA in three short days with finished hair pieces for a hedgehog of doom, a baby pouf, random Regency curls and some Ancient Rome goodness.

Today will be about sorting out a plan for the curling/prep. I have curlers (perm rods, wet-set curlers, rag curlers, wooden dowels) and setting options (boiling water, steam, hot tools for heat resist fibers) to play with. Wish me luck!

website revamp

I've revamped my website to better reflect my current interests & my new career. Check it out and tell me what you think!

officially graduated

Tonight I received my diploma from PMTS Woodbridge and officially became "alumni". It still doesn't feel real that I really accomplished this huge goal.

The moment was made all the more sweet because of the presence of my fellow graduates, my friends. How appropriate to celebrate our accomplishment together!!
