Thanks, 13bodies and Khrome. Its always good to be home.

As far as my shape, I think I'm going to always have layers because of my wavy texture. I don't have many layers and I think that's working for me at the moment. My hair is about 20 3/4" long, so it still tends to poof. Maybe as it gets longer the weight of the length will eliminate the need for layers, although I think layers show off my waves more.

Well, I've done it. I've ordered the whole Geisha/Meiko makeup kit. Thanks again for the link, 13bodies.

Today I didn't know what to do with my hair. I woke up with a headache at 2:30AM so I figured I didn't want anything that would make my head hurt or be too complicated. I decided to french braid my pig tails and then curled the ends into buns. I accidentally did something I think is really cool. On the first braid, I took the first strand and put it under the 2nd but put the 3rd over and then continued weaving the strands over. This made for a very flat beginning to my braid. I think it looked great. I did take a picture of myself in the mirror, I'll add it later.

I watched Practial Magik today. I'm so enjoying getting ready for Halloween. Watching my Halloween movies really helps, too. I love stories about magick and witches.

I have never seen that - I'll have to check it out.

Have you seen Mirrormask? I think you might like it. It's by Neil Gaiman who wrote The Sandman - a graphic novel that won a lot of literary awards. He still does graphic novels as well as adult and children fantasy books. They are usually dark.

Here's a link to the trailer. I think 13bodies might like this too

Thanks for the link, Khrome. I ordered a copy!

I has become plain to me that I feel as though I'm never good enough. So I start lots of things and when I do well once (which is often on the first try for me) I'm afraid I'll be expected to repeat my success and so I just stop. Dead. Then I go into a depression about not doing what makes me happy and feeling like my life has no purpose until another idea comes along-something new for me to try. This is a very painful way to live, and it it not working for me. I must get over this fear of having to be perfect.

Hair is still getting better. Keeping the moisturizing shampoo, conditioner and gel going. May do deep treatment next Wednesday.

Still need to get around to taking pics of my new hairtoys.

I think my hair has recovered from the snorkeling trama. It is once again soft and the waves are more defined. Yay!!
I'm hoping to get a new shape to my hair on my upcoming trim. I'm going to go in and tell her I have a 1 year plan-to keep my hair healthy and looking good while growing as much as possible. I want to have an awesome hairdo for next years Halloween party which will be the Dead Wedding.
This year I'm wearing a Geisha wig, so it may be a good thing that it isn't super long 'cause of the thickness.
Hubby is slowly getting onboard to help me with ideas and decorations.
I bought some blood red roses to use in my entry way arch that aren't going to work so I'm turning them into hairpins. I just got the glue today so they're not finished, but I think they'll be cool. Maybe a Saucy Senora will be a costume in my future...and we can have Mexican food or Tapas at the party. Let's see...that puts me at 4 years from now. This year is the Black Cat Affair, next year the Deading, year after that Hijinx on the High Seas (yay pirates!) and then the Fiesta.
What else is there? I'm working at getting back on track for my excercise and am going to eat 2 vegetables (raw, steamed or grilled) at every meal. Starting tomorrow afternoon when I go to the store. I was able to eat more veggies than that for dinner tonight, now the veggies are all gone.
I've got some excercising to do, until then Happy Longhair Dreams to All!

Wow! You have some cool Halloween parties! This year I'm taking my neice trick or treating but I don't know what to be. I wanted to go as Samara form The Ring but my nieces mother said no scary outfits (darn). Mind you, when I get back from TOT I'm oiling my hair putting on a nasty white night gown making my face and arms white and spooking the nieghborhood! 8)

Lisabelle-I think your scary costume sounds great!! What are you going to use to make yourself white?
I bought the Geisha makeup kit from Hannari-do you know how to apply it?
It tickles me pink to scare people, always has. Actually I'm smiling while I even think about it.

Gotta go sub a class...wish I could go back to bed instead!

They sound fantastic. I am always envious of creative minds who can do cool theme parties and costumes. I have NO creativeness in this area at all.

"Lisabelle-I think your scary costume sounds great!! What are you going to use to make yourself white?

Hmmm I have never does this before with the real stuff. Hannari-ya did not give you instructions? That wierd! On the ebay sight they have some instructions. Wish I could help. Your good at makeup so I think if you play around with it you'll be okay. I do know for maiko that after they put on the blush they put another coat of white over it to soften the color.
Bon chance!

I haven't tried my makeup yet, I'm waiting until I get through Labor Day's facepainting. I've been working on 18 designs, which I'm cutting back to about 14. It is very strange painting on the practice head-it is plastic and a bit slippery.

I did a deep treat yesterday and my hair is juicy. Like its full of moisture. I'm still getting a trim on the 31st, 1/4" is my plan. I think I'll discuss changing the shape of my hair, more layers my need to be added.

I'm starting guitar lessons up again in a couple of weeks. Am seriously considering changing to a nylon string from the steel I've been using.

Monday night will be my first visit to the Tempe Community Chorus. Its open to everyone, no auditions needed. It will be wonderful to be surrounded by sound and people who love to do what I love to do. I miss performing.

I've had a change of costume for this year's 1st annual Halloween Party. I'm still Geisha/Meiko, just a different dress. The one I had is frankly way the hell too big. Good news. More good news is that this new costume is still sexy and the colors are even better for matching my purple kanzashi. I'm waiting for it to get here, but here's a pic:

http://www.pinupgirlclothing.com/geishacostume.html

I hope it looks good on me. Technically I think my costume is more Meiko, especially because of the wig I got:

http://www.buycostumes.com/ProductDetail.aspx?ProductID=18822&PCatID=Search+Resu...

Its hard to tell, but the ribbon is pale pink.

Many, many boxes have been arriving at my house, filled with halloween delights. I think it will take me several days to get the house and backyard decorated!! Pray for good weather!!!

OMG!!! Sakina, I love that costume! You'll look great!

I've already began purchasing Halloween decorations on eBay which, my husband thinks is completely ridiculous but I explained to him, if I purchase now, I can get things cheaper because theres not much of a demand. However, the reality is that I saw these decorations and just couldn't resist!

I was reading through a few of your posts and your life seems pretty exciting. I used to sing in choirs and in music groups with friends when I was in school but it seems that the older I get, the less I tend to do.

Thanks for the vote of confidence, LD.

I've been buying Halloween stuff since last Novemeber. With so many great websites you can get stuff year round.
Some of my favorite sites are:
www.deadmentellnotales.com -pirate stuff
www.goreydetails.net -edward gorey
www.shindigz.com -party stuff and props
www.buycostumes.com -props & costumes
www.hauntedfog.com -super selection
www.frightcatalog.com -it all started here
www.nightmarefactory.com -costumes

Anywho, I think I'm almost done shopping for this year and most of next year.

I'm feeling a bit pouty today, seems like everybody's hair is longer than mine. *pout pout*

I'm getting a headache so I think I'll go lie down.

Laters!
