Can't believe I've been here for 50 days. It's flown by. There was a quick demonstration on a technique on how to put the hair up using hardly any product, then we got straight down to our latex bald cap applications. This would be my second attempt, and hoped that my bald cap I'd prepared last night would be good enough for today. Mike reckoned it looked pretty good, so I was in with a chance. After faffing around with Manya's hair for a while, trying to get...

Got to school for about 8 this morning so I could remove my other latex bald cap and get set up and stuff before the new tutor, Mike Mosher (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0608674/), started his demonstration. Having realised from my previous bald cap that I'd made it too thin, I knew that this was going to be the same, so despite it being a bit bigger, it would still be pretty useless in getting a decent bald cap from it.

The day started by getting straight down to setting up and applying our bald caps from yesterday. I let Violet go first meaning I could have a nice long sit down.

Today was the beginning of all the stuff I was hoping would be interesting than all the beauty stuff from the past 6 weeks. It was. Our teacher for the week would be J.D.

The lesson began by being given plastic head moulds for creating bald caps, and crack...

Woke up early today having had plenty of sleep, and checked to see what was going on with the replacement venue/lineup/times etc. for today's event. Even though I'd only bought a ticket for yesterday, I was hoping there'd be something offering all customers a chance to come back today at no extra cost. Well, there was… The show had been moved to Fullerton. This is about an hour's drive from where I live. I don't have a car. A bus/train/walking combination wo...
