playa prep; a long-delayed reunion

[sistawendy]

I got my legs waxed for the first time yesterday. I love the results, and the discomfort was no worse than sugaring myself. After over 260 hours of electrolysis, it's a walk in the park. It would be expensive to make a habit out of this, but for the playa it's definitely the way to go. Mind you, my skin was grown with the help of a Y chromosome and I know it to be much less delicate than, say, the Siberian Siren's.

A PCC salad and a bus ride later, I went to imflying for braids and, in a new twist, dreads. That's right: I'm a dreadlocked white girl. It happened because there's a pic:


Getting radical hair makes me giggly. And it takes a few hours for my neck muscles to adjust.

Saw cupcake_goth for the first time in many, many months last night at Re-bar's Ceremony night. She'd cancelled on me so many times that I was beginning to feel like chopped liver. Now I feel guilty about that because she & stroppy_baggage have had Serious Stuff going on for a few months now. If I can do anything to help it will be an honor. We shall see.

Happiness is watching a lovely woman in a big, black dress clear a large area of the dance floor as she gets swirly. I missed that.

SFDs: (too?) short knit black dress, black knee-high Fluevog True Melanie boots, black leather opera gloves, horseshoe nail necklace because my new hair got caught in a classic Goth beaded choker, Rose Noir lipstick from Atomic Cosmetics, MAC everything else. Yeah, I wear leather opera gloves in the summer.
