HI EVERYBODY !

DID YOU THINK I'D FORGOTTEN ALL ABOUT MY THRIFTY VINTAGE FINDS?

THAT I WAS TURNING INTO A MALL RAT? ( I love that movie ;)

THAT MY NEW WEAVE HAS GONE STRAIGHT TO MY HEAD??? GET IT?

THAT I WAS BECOMING A DRIVE-BY BLOGGER....

HELL NO !!!

I DO ADMIT MY BIRTHDAY BASICS BUYS DID MAKE ME SEE SOME NEW TRENDS I REALLY LIKE, BUT THERE IS STILL BY FAR, NOTHING BETTER THAN A KILLER THRIFT STORE TRIP THAT WELCOMED ME WITH THESE 100% 1970'S POLYESTER KNIT WIDE LEG PANTS AND WITH HORSES ON THEM AS WELL :)

AH, I MISSED YOU MY DEAR SECOND-HAND ONE-OF-A-KIND FROCKS AND BAUBLES....

EVEN MY PHOTOS HAVE TAKEN ON A "I'M TOO COOL FOR SCHOOL"

FROWNIE VIBE.... I BLAME IT ON LA FASTA, MY ALTER-EGO WEAVE.

SHE DOES MAKE ME FEEL KINDA COOL ;)

SO, I AM MAKING SOME VOWS RIGHT NOW

(THEN I CAN'T FLAKE OUT, AS IT IS 'OUT' THERE ;)

1. TO START POSTING REGULARLY AGAIN, AT LEAST 5 TIMES A WEEK.

(SINCE MY WALK-ABOUT I HAVE BEEN VERY LAXIDAZY- IS THAT A WORD?)

2. TO BE MORE RESPONSIVE (I REALLY DO READ BLOGS, I AM NOT A GOOD TIME-MANAGER )

3. TO START UP SOME FUN, GROUP POSTS (LIKE THE PEARL PARTY) OR BLACK FRIDAY. -

PS. THE "RAW" POST DIDN'T HAPPEN AS IT SEEMED NOT VERY MANY PEOPLE CHOSE TO BE RAW,

THANKS TO THE LOVELY LADIES WHO DID RESPOND :)

4. TO GET OUT MY SUMMER VINTAGE ( I HOPE IT STILL FITS... )

5. TO ANSWER QUESTIONS RIGHT AWAY (BEFORE I FORGET)

WIGS, the New Accessory !

SHABAM !

NOW THAT'S WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT !

EVER SINCE I SAW STYLE PANTRY ROCKING HER GIANT LOCKS, I KNEW THERE WAS A BOHEMIAN CHICKA WHO COULD ROCK BIG ASS HAIR AND I HAD TO HAVE ME SOME. I'M NOT SURE IF IT WAS THE VIBE OR THE FREEDOM THAT GRABBED ME, BUT I HAVE SINCE BEEN ON THE HUNT FOR A FUNKY STYLE THAT I FELT

FRIGGIN AWESOME IN.... I THINK I FOUND IT !!!

OF COURSE IT STARTED WITH THE "CHOP IT ALL OFF" SYNDROME, THEN THE "MAYBE I'LL GET A PERM" NONSENSE, TO THE FINAL AND TEMPORARY WIG SHOP. I WAS JUST GONNA BUY A PINK BOB FOR FUN, BUT WHEN I SAW THE CHOICES, STYLES AND THE NOT-SO-FAKEY HAIRDO'S, MY EYES OPENED TO A NEW ACCESSORY, AKA THE WEAVE.

NOW, DON'T LET THE WORD WEAVE SCARE YOU...

THIS IS A SIMPLE HAIR PIECE WITH METAL COMBS IN THE FRONT AND REAR THAT YOU BASICALLY CLIP ON. THAT'S IT !

THIS TYPE OF WIG IS MADE BY SEWING STRIPS OF HAIR TO BANDS SO YOU DON'T SWEAT TO DEATH AND CAN ADD PINS ANY PLACE !

THERE ARE SOME SIMPLE TRICKS I LEARNED AFTER PLAYING AROUND

WITH HER ( HER NAME IS LA FASTA) REALLY...

I FIRST JUST USED A WIG CAP ( THE PANTY HOSE KIND) AND PINNED HER ON, BUT I STILL FELT SHE LOOKED TOO "WIGGY", SO I STARTED CURLING THE VERY TIPPY FRONT OF MY BANGS (SUPER TIGHT) AND THE SHORT, BABY HAIRS ON THE FRONT SIDES OF MY EARS BEFORE I PUT HER ON. I SPRAYED THEM FOR HOLD, (DON'T SPRAY THE WIG!) I ALSO THREW AWAY THE "CAP' AND JUST PINNED MY HAIR TIGHTLY TO MY HEAD (PONY TAIL, THEN ROUND MY HEAD FOR FLATNESS).

SINCE MY HAIR IS SIMILAR TO THE COLOR OF THE WEAVE (WIG), YOU CAN'T EVEN TELL. THEN I PULLED SOME OF MY PRE-CURLED HAIRS OUT TO CREATE A TRUE HAIRLINE - (LESS WIGGY-LOOKING). I CLIPPED ON LA FASTA, GENTLY FINGER COMBED HER, AND WA-LA! (I ALSO ADDED BROWN BOBBY PINS ALL OVER, JUST TO MAKE SURE SHE STAYS IN PLACE.

I FRIGGIN LOVE THIS HAIR. IT SEEMS TO "FIT" MY STYLE, MY FACE AND EVEN BODY SHAPE. I AM OFFICIALLY HOOKED AND WITHOUT THE COMMITMENT OF A CUT, COLOR OR PERM. IT'S A GREAT WAY TO SEE HOW YOU WOULD LIKE A DIFFERENT STYLE. THE PRICE RANGE VARIES, AND I WENT KINDA LOW TO MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. (IT WAS A BIRTHDAY GIFT FROM MY HUBBY ;) YOU CAN GET REAL HAIR (LA FASTA ISN'T), BUT IT WILL COST YA!

THIS HAIR COST NO MORE THAN AN OUTFIT,

BUT I WILL WEAR IT A LOT LONGER :)

I FEEL LIKE A WISE, HIPPY BOHEMIAN BAD-ASS BALLERINA PRINCESS ;)

WIGS, THE NEXT GENERATION OF ACCESSORIES !

HI GUYS AND DOLLS !

HERE ARE SOME SHOTS FROM THE DRAG SHOW THIS PAST WEEKEND. I HAD A BLAST ;) THERE WERE TRENDY NUMBERS AND CLASSIC ACTS WITH LONG SEQUINED GOWNS. LOTS OF FISHNETS - AND THE SHOES ??? HIGH AND SEXY !

(OUR MC AND DRAGALICIOUS PERFORMER AS WELL !)

IF YOU HAVE NEVER BEEN TO A DRAG SHOW, I HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT. GO RIGHT AWAY, TONIGHT IF POSSIBLE, AND BLOW OFF SOME STEAM :)

WE WERE AT THE YADDA CLUB IN COVINGTON, KY.

LOTS OF CASH WAS RAISED FOR THE AMERICAN FOUNDATION FOR SUICIDE PREVENTION AND THE MOST FUN WAS HANDING OVER MY SINGLES ;)

I WOULD LOVE TO BE A DRAG QUEEN.... THOUGH, IT WOULD BE WAY TOO MUCH WORK TO LOOK THAT GOOD. I SUPPOSE THAT'S WHY GOD MADE BOHO HIPPIES LIKE ME :)

AND NOTICE MY HAIR?

(I KNOW IT WAS DARK, SO YOU CAN'T REALLY SEE IT) MORE TO BE REVEALED ;)

I AM STILL BACKED UP ON POSTS, SO PLEASE BEAR WITH ME.

I AM GONNA TRY TO GET THEM UP BY MORNINGS AGAIN.....

NOW, ON WITH THE SHOW !
