I figured there are already hundreds of tutorials online, what really could I make that already hasn't been done? So instead I began hunting around on some looks I was interested in. After my resurfacing love for Indiana Jones recently happened, I fell in love with Elsa's hair!.......seriously so in love with Indiana Jones....heh
She is quite obviously inspired by Veronica Lake (right) so I figured time to share some 1940s love. I personally have not had time to fully try out the waterwave tutorial since it can take a long time for hair to dry but this was the most amazing tutorial I found that uses authentic techniques to the time! For all you cosplayers this is also an awesome tutorial for Jessica Rabbit hair! I opted for a more simplistic quick look that pretty much anyone can do, tutorial below.

WATER WAVES!
Waterwave/veronica Lake
1940s sillouette
Simple everyday 1940s hair
WHAT I ACHIEVED
This look is really flattering and I discovered looked good with curls, straight up or down. Easily this can make anything look a bit more fancy be it a ponytail, braid or bun. I personally went for a really quick up do and all I did was take my curled hair and pinned it up in a loose pin curl type way. Not only that but I used a similar technique to the second tutorial when styling the front of my belle wig! Products used Mega hairspray and springing curls.
The Product review
L'Oreal Studio Line MEGA hairspray: This stuff holds hair! I used this in addition to the curling mousse and had curls forever. Remember not to over use it! Not only for natural hair but I used it on my Belle wig and I'm very happy with the results. I usually swear by Got2b freeze spray for wigs but I wanted a more natural look and found I had better control over how much product was being applied.
L'Oreal Studio Line Springing curls: I love this! My hair is naturally very straight and hates holding a curls. I used it and even fell asleep on my hair and in the morning it still was retaining some of the curls. It's in a mousse form which I'm not really used to but wasn't so bad once I figured it out
L'Oreal Studio Line Mega Spritz: So this is used as a finishing spray as opposed to hair spray. I found it helped to sculpt the hair a bit more after it has been styled ie. curls or updos but it has a bit of a crunch factor. It's strong I'll give it that but it can get crunchy really quickly so it really needs to be brushed through the hair for optimal results
L'Oreal studio Line pumping volume: I personally have pretty flat hair. It always looks nice after I blow dry it but an hour later and it's back to hanging limp. I found this product actually helped give my hair that bit of boost to stay up for longer than an hour. You have to be careful when applying it because if you spritz to close or to much it crunches in the hair which can easily be fixed with a bit of a brush but over all I really liked it
Overall I was quite happy with the products and if you need a hair style to hold for a long time I highly recommend them all.
I HOPE THIS WASN'T BORING. I tried to make it fancy with pictures.

New Kiriban 70 000 and Updates
I want to start by saying CONGRATS TO Dark-Arctic-Fox (https://www.deviantart.com/dark-arctic-fox) for winning my Kiriban!! I hope you enjoy the wig!!
I'm also planning another Kiriban for my 70 000 page view! To all the ladies out there this one will consist of a custom put together small makeup gift with some of my favourite products so keep an eye out!
**************************************
On another note my next convention with be Otakuthon. I'm excited to be heading back to montreal and want to actually set up a photoshoot while I'm there. I've been rather lazy on the photoshoot front so I want to change that. I plan on wearing and new and improved Cinderella, Velvet and even a bit
KIRIBAN changed*65 000* and updates!
It's now been a good year since I've done anything in the cosplay world sooooo to celebrate coming back in to it I want to do a kiriban! I've always wanted to do one but never had anything to offer. Around this time last year I won a wig in a masquerade and have held on to it thinking I'd use it. It has now occurred to me I never will. SO instead of it sitting around sad and lonely I want to give it away!
I'M WAY TO IMPATIENT SO I'M CHANGING IT TO THE 65 000 PAGE VIEW!!!!!! I'll give you the wig for free. Just message me a screen shot showing you got it and the wig is yours!
The wig in question up for grabs you ask?
It is brand new still
FanExpo/progress!
In an attempt to be far more back in action on this website I come baring photos since that's so much more fun than a brick of text.
Also fanexpo is this weekend and I plan to be there friday, saturday and sunday assuming work co operates with me. Fingers crossed. I also will be wearing Velvet from Odin sphere and Cinderella all because I had no desire to buy new wigs yay! Hope to see everyone there, now on to photos.
Still a work in progress but I'm really happy with everything so far and pleased with how my interpretation is coming along. I wish I could find my good camera to show all the different fabrics I found because I am in love wit
Back from a brief hiatus!
I have been M.I.A lately due to moving, then losing a job, then gaining a job, couch surfing and continuous house hunting! It was a stressful few weeks but all is falling back in to place. I want to start by thanking all the new watchers, I would love to thank you all personally but baby steps. I will also be taking this time to reply to recent comments that have been sitting in my inbox.
Due to recent moving issues quite a few of my normal conventions have been either over looked this year or I won't be attending. I was at Anime North for saturday only so I missed seeing quite a few people. But I entered the Masquerade with Demon

This is really cool that you do turtorials on hair like this and talk about your costumes! I didn't think it was boring at all and I love the hair! :]
