BeatrixKiddo88 Posted March 7, 2010 Share Posted March 7, 2010 You dont have a plastic bag for it Lizzy? I'm having to bring everything on the train with me. Yes its all packed away, but it includes a flintlock pistol and a modern pistol for two of my costumes. And maybe a plastic axe for the other one lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Never Posted March 7, 2010 Share Posted March 7, 2010 This is all sounding very strange. Sure I'm going to wake up and it will be June 2008 again haha. I have a HUGE fridge of a suitcase so everything I need can be stored away in there 8D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

darth.ally Posted March 7, 2010 Share Posted March 7, 2010 I'm all sorted. For the 80s thing I will be bringing an extra set of crimpers with me if anyone wants to borrow them. Tips for successful crimping will be given free of charge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cait_85 Posted March 8, 2010 Share Posted March 8, 2010 Shockingly I think I might actually have costumes for 2 of 3 nights - as a person who doesn't do dressing up if I can help it I'm feeling quite proud of myself!! Now I just have to dig out my old ball dress and school shirt and pray they still fit (and also get a bit creative when it comes to customizing things!). Fingers crossed!!

Tips for successful crimping will be given free of charge. I love crimping my hair! I sort of stopped when it was long, cos 1 hour sat with your hair in 3 bunches whilst you bemoan the lack of a 3rd arm was not fun. I ought to give it a go now it's short. Personal top tips - Hold the crimpers on to each section for about 10 seconds (ignore 'That's burning my scalp/ear' it's only 10 seconds, and it'll be worth it) - Do small sections, takes longer, but you get much bigger hair Personally I don't bother with back-combing or hairspray, I just comb out once I've gone over the whole thing and poof! Big Hair! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darth.ally Posted March 8, 2010 Share Posted March 8, 2010 Personally I don't bother with back-combing or hairspray, I just comb out once I've gone over the whole thing and poof! Big Hair! I do that for everyday big goth hair, but for 80s big goth hair I need to make an effort! My hair's all one length and quite a bit longer than yours IIRC so there's a lot of weight in it threatening to pull out the crimp if I don't take steps to counteract that by using about half a can of hairspray! Another tip - crimp stays in better if you tackle your hair when it needs washing as the grease protects your hair and the crimp takes better. If you try to crimp the same day as you've washed your hair it will fall out in only a few hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think my hair is abnormal, because I can crimp it after washing (when it's dry) and it stays for days. Obviously it loves the crimp! Damn hair! Won't hold a curl, but will crimp forever!

captaincarpet Posted March 8, 2010 Share Posted March 8, 2010 Yes that would be correct xD The others are fairly simple, just different takes on what I've got already. Except Sundays slightly different, although I think you know what that is Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daphne Blake Posted March 8, 2010 Share Posted March 8, 2010 I think I've got one!! Think I'm going to stick to one as I never get to just dress up normally for myself so I want to wear pretty dresses for once instead of my usual pj's to college look Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
forgiveninasong Posted March 9, 2010 Share Posted March 9, 2010 Pretty much got mine sorted! I am SO EXCITED! Not much notice on these themes, but I think I can come up with something!
