Some Glamour Goals

This is really for my reference and I hope to tick them off as time goes by... Most of these I want to do in time for October's WGW. If not sooner :)
  • Get rid of my boi hair - now I'm more willing to show more flesh my arms are a little embarrassing
  • Get my brows done so they look more feminine, I'm a bit too skittish to do my own!
  • Work more on the makeup skills so I don't end up looking overdone.
  • Work on a daytime look that isn't wrapped up in many coats/hats & scarves.
Thinking a bit more, I'm less worried about being read then I was in the past. I might get some glances, but are they of admiration or fear? Hopefully the former, if its the latter then its their problem!

Skeletons and Socialness

From Mike and Elizbeth's 2007 tourLast night I met up with a few friends and headed to the Well House - a pub that appears very normal on the outside as you can see but darkness lurks within. For deep in the cellar there is a Skeleton. Alas I don't have a picture of it as the person who took the picture suddenly felt very cold and deleted it! Naturally I attended in glam mode, helps the confidence, though I did have a near disaster with my makeup, my foundation brush wouldn't wash out the dust from the bathroom work (should have covered it - I know) and dust combined with water makes mud! Still it was great to have a night out en femme.

Today I'm back to work, makeup stained and weary. Am working up the confidence to really attack my brows, I'm also tempted by a friend's suggestion that I see a Beautician. Will have to see what the future brings

Better Start Practicing

A couple of looks I might work on emulating to some extent.
This one I could probably do to some extent, would just need a bit more confidence and an appropriate top

This one would need a lot of work on the makeup skills, but should be a good long term aim.

Thoughts on makeup and hair



This is the sort of thing I'm currently aiming for with my makeup (and possibly hairstyling). Am wondering if I could style my fake hair similarly or would I need to aquire a similar weave to the Lady Erika.
