This weekend's Halloween Gala was a costume party themed "Come As You Aren't".
I decided to go as a girly girl.
Now I don't really like the term 'girly girl' as I am generally opposed to stereotyping behaviors and appearances as 'girly', but it's Halloween so I am going to let it slide today.
The costume involved many things that I have rarely, if ever done, such as:
- carrying a purse
- wearing makeup
- having more than one product in my hair
- curling my hair
- accessorizing
It was an interesting experience. Angrynerdsrock did my hair, and DancingFish did my makeup. The purse part was a challenge though, I ended up just grabbing random things from around the house to fill up purse space. I'm not a purse person. I don't understand them. I just don't have to carry enough stuff around with me every day to warrant a purse.
The other thing I did in preparation for the party was to get my eyebrows waxed. I have waxed other parts of my own body before, including much more sensitive areas, so I figured letting someone else take over the task of eyebrow maintenece would be a breeze. And, for the most part, it was. Until I noticed one of my nicely shaped brows was very sensitive, red and puffy.
The morning after the party I discovered that the wax had not only removed some extraneous eyebrow hairs, but it had also taken some vital skin.
Oh the price I paid for an elegant arch! Well, I did go to the discount place, so I got what I paid for.
I've just been telling people it's from a bar fight.
The party was a riot. I decided to let loose a little with a biker boy.
Then I learned that when you tangle with a biker boy, you also have to tangle with the biker boy's girlfriend.
She was so hard core that she didn't even have to put her drink down while she kicked my ass.
Good times.
