Its All About the Hair (and the Lashes)

As if this whole pageant thing wasn't crazy enough, now my mind is going in directions that I never imagined.

First, the pageant handbook clearly states that you are well advised to cover any visible tattoos and that you could run the risk of losing points from your total score if any are seen as offensive. For those of you that know me, that means 3 out of 4 of my tattoos are gonna need to be covered. Off to Sephora I go! Poor Joe ambles in with me into the beauty abyss (or wonderland depending on whose eyes you're looking though) that is Sephora ready to find out about products that will cover my harlot stamps. A very helpful man approaches us and introduces us to Kat Von D's products and warns us that they are very labor intensive and that I will need someone to help me apply the cover up. Without flinching, Joe says, "I'm listening" and our salesman looks at me and says, "You've got a keeper, sister." I simply say, "I know", but I am beaming inside! What did I do to get such a great partner? Okay, tattoo cover up, check.

Next, I may need a plan B just to offer another layer of distraction from my 18 color tattoo on my arm, so let's look at some hair. If you didn't know, fake hair can be very expensive! I did an extensive search of hair and I settled on some pretty, all be it synthetic, hair. The lovely Paris Hilton's hair line was my choice, not to mention, it was on sale! Below, you'll see some pics with me and my new 'do. I have a feeling that these extensions may resurface long after the pageant is over.

Thirdly, I'll be the first to admit, I have pretty eyes. The only problem is that my pretty eyes are supported by fourteen eyelashes, cumulatively. My boys have the most beautiful, voluminous lashes. Joe's are enviable to say the least and he gave those same inch-long voluminous lashes to our son. I am left putting on 4 coats of mascara to up the lash ante to 20 lashes, cumulatively. If I'm gonna have no visible tattoos and fake hair, I can only imagine that the trifecta would need to be falsies, lashes that is. Once again, Kat Von D offers a fantastic set that offers shadows and lashes. The cover up and lash set are my next planned purchase. I'm providing you with pics of both products that are both conveniently offered at Sephora. On a lighter note (if that's possible) you are more than welcome to buy either of these items for me as a show of support for my new endeavor. Enjoy!
