Saturday, July 9th. Do or die. The day of reckoning has arrived! The Rugged Maniac. I have to get to bed at a reasonable time guys, but I’ll respond to all of your comments soon and I’ll have some new posts for you on Sunday or Monday … God willing!! Thank you all for your support and encouragement. Pray for my survival and limbs ya’ll!!! LOL!!!
7/10/11 UPDATE: I did the Rugged Maniac and survived!!! We lost two participants to studying and sickness, so the 6 that were supposed to do it ended up being 3, but we think we’re going to make this an annual event! I know, crazy right?!? And now, the evidence!!
No, this is not an ayuverdic hair treatment!!! LOL!!!
It’s that time again!!! Here is another simple, Lilith Moon inspired “Updo” that I modified slightly with a bun and a hair stick. However, I’d wear it with the hanging braid as well. As usual, I did this style on hair that was stretched with a TnC.
7/14/11 UPDATE: *screeeeeccccchhhhhh* Scratch that “Inspiration.” The results are in! It’s “Hair Crush” by a knock-out!!
So, I was starting to write this post and began to think about the name of this HairStory category. I thought, “‘Inspiration’ is okay, but there has to be something better.” I started playing around with the words, looking up synonyms in the m-w.com thesaurus and came up with a few ideas. But, which one? So, rather than trying to decide myself, I figured I’d ask you guys. That being said,
I T ‘ S P O L L T I M E ! ! !
