Sparkle

[clevermanka]

I'm pretty sure this is a cold and not allergies. My whole face and chest are terribly congested and I'm ...producing... stuff like crazy. Fabulous. If I didn't have to be here to take minutes for an afternoon meeting I would be so gone. I'll ask if I can skip lunch today and leave after the meeting. It's only 10:30 and I'm already beat down.

This weekend I'm dancing both days (which is nice--I'll be able to take it easy what with the head congestion and wheezy chest). This is the only weekend I won't be whoring at least one day, so I took advantage of it and painted my nails disco-sparkly. Hot-cha!

My hair is so dark right now. It's a little freaky. I'm used to seeing at least a bit of color variation, so the black-black-black is unnerving. Looks fantastic, and oh my goodness the texture is glorious, but the real test will be how it looks this time next week. Thanks a million to nottygypsy and renniemom for the henna help. Glad to hear you two are happy with your results.

Boo on the cold. I'll have my pillow and blanket. It's supposed to be in the high 70's with a chance of rain.
Pack your arm warmers, your arms were cold last week.
Could I SOUND more like a mommy?

Love my hair, loved the make up! I must have got it right because PDA wasn't really keen on it. "It's Different" DUH that's the POINT!

[clevermanka.livejournal.com]

Well, as long as you're happy with the makeup, right?

Thank you for the arm warmer reminder. I need to see if Target has any lacy socks.

I was happy with it for Notty. I'm not sure he separates Notty and Christine at all.

Glad to help, want to keep my Hawt Dancer warm!

He will. The more the two diverge over time it will become quite obbvious.

I am looking forward to seeing results of the session. Feel free to go as intense as you can with eyes, and heavier than you would expect with blush (if the blush is too heavy, it can be powdered into submission)...

I've got all her parts in one bag and will bring that with me in case I need to bump it up.

I will not fear the blush, I will not fear the blush.

I like your hair a lot and wsa THRILLED with the makeup for both of us. Thanks, L! You should post pics :-) Since I don't have to work T'Gers I'll practice my whore makeup this weekend and ya'll can critique.

Depending on which channel you look at it could be anywhere from 72-80 both days and some say rain, some don't. Ugh. Hate preparing for multiple weather scenarios.

[nottygypsy.livejournal.com]

I'll try to post those tonight. I practiced my self portrait skills when you guys left. I suck, deleted like 10 of them. No 365 day project for me soon!
I'm gonna have to get up earlier to do a proper make up. I would have been done with my normal face in the time it took L to put on my blush!

Nice weather, it will be cold, or hot, rainy or dry. Cover bases much?

It just takes practice. Really. I still have days where I'm like snap "No." snap "No." snap "No."

I got two I didn't hate!

[solan-t.livejournal.com]

Is pretty!

[clevermanka.livejournal.com]

Thank you!

[rougewench.livejournal.com]

The hair is lovely...quite intense.

Thanks!

[theoneinblue.livejournal.com]

Wow! The hair looks amazing!

And total suck on the cold - seems like if you've had the swineflu, you should already be done for the season. I hope you're feeling better quickly!

I know, right? My immune system sucks.

[bestill.livejournal.com]

good thing you're on Cipro! Although, it might not do anything to help.

Hope you feel better. Take bunches of emergen-C

[indigodreamer.livejournal.com]

Shiny! :)

[clevermanka.livejournal.com]

If you ever wanna try it, I bet your hair would take henna beautifully!

[indigodreamer.livejournal.com]

Ooh -- really? Thank you! :)

[clevermanka.livejournal.com]

IMO, dark brown hair looks amazing with henna. here are a host of examples of hennaed hair (http://www.hennaforhair.com/mixes/index.html), from the website where I bought my latest batch of henna.

[normalcyispasse.livejournal.com]

I think it looks pretty fantastic -- moreso even with the rockin' glasses and scowl.

[clevermanka.livejournal.com]

Ha!

Thanks. It's pretty bright out there today.

[redheadfae.livejournal.com]

oh wow! It's been a long time since I've seen it raven's wing black. Lovely!

Even with the slight fading to come, I'll bet it'll look super along the way. Mmmm... I miss the spinachy smell.

[clevermanka.livejournal.com]

I miss the spinachy smell

You are insane.

But thank you. =)

[redheadfae.livejournal.com]

LOl.. it's the camaraderie that went along with it, I think. Sort of like the smell of our costumes after FestivBull.

[cmt2779.livejournal.com]

Your hair looks awesome!
I hope the cold is easily conquered.

[clevermanka.livejournal.com]

Thank you and thank you!

Cutie!

[clevermanka.livejournal.com]

Fancy baby!

[ericreynolds.livejournal.com]

I agree with indigodreamer. So shiny! Looks fantastic.

[clevermanka.livejournal.com]

Thank you!

[chronovore.livejournal.com]

Be careful with summer colds; I don't know why, but they're always so hard to get entirely rid of.

Hair looks swell!

[clevermanka.livejournal.com]

Seriously. I'm still coughing, a week later. BOO HISS.

That color turned out GORGEOUS!! I hope it lasts longer for you, because it looks great!

[clevermanka.livejournal.com]

Thank you!

I'm already noticing a few red streaks where the indigo has already washed out, though. =(

[satowi.livejournal.com]

That face. I'm convinced it is absolutely IMPOSSIBLE not to smile at you. Even when you're upset? You're freakin adoreable! When I saw you out at fest you were feeling kinda ick and frowning a bit and I still wanted to squeak at you. (Devious giggle)...you sure are purdy Ms. dancin' girl!

[clevermanka.livejournal.com]

Hee! Thanks. *mwah*!
