I procrastinated on the decision for a costume until I got off work yesterday. I originally wanted to be Tina Fey as Sarah Palin, but then I discovered it wasn't so original. Wanting a costume cheap as free, I was teetering on Wednesday Addams, the Mad Hatter, and either Columbine or Magenta from Rocky Horror. I ended up deciding on Mia Wallace, Uma Thurman's character in Pulp Fiction. But Mia Wallace was not good enough, no. It had to be Mia Wallace just after being revived from her drug overdose. So aside from the black wig, white dress shirt, and black pants I went barefoot, did *lack of oxygen* makeup, a bloody nose, and a syringe sticking out of my chest. I had a lot of fun.
Being that my costume was so last minute, there weren't any short black wigs to be found in the entire Quail Springs area of N OKC. So I bought a long black one that originally had a crazy braided bun and 4 long braids hanging down the back. My sister proved her worth and helped fix up my wig (she's in cosmetology school). This is what it looked like after we got the braids out.
She told me not to tell people she cut it because "it would look so much better if it were real hair" but i think she did an awesome job considering I gave her 10 minutes and we had to flat iron it and curl it afterward.
