Well, here I am again after another day of interesting excitement, lets see if I can actually start and finish a diary entry… ;)
Ok, the beginning is a good place to start it would seem…
Woke up on Saturday morning at 8:30 am which was way too early. Wanted to sleep in until 10:00 a, but that wasn't too be… raced around into town and got another disposable camera, some Revlon concealer and a few other odds and ends. Got back to John's and have a very close shave at 12:30 pm and after stopping the bleeding I got my stuff together and called a taxi which got me to Weetangera shops at ~2:00 pm. There was a bit of slowness in the make-up queue, so I sat around chatting to a girl from Cooma called Jane, and she was very nice to talk to. We just shot the breeze about general things and looked at make-up styles… so about 3:30 pm the first girl was finished, and I got ushered in. The girl doing it Amanda was a student who was doing it as part of work experience for her make-up course. So first went on the "Red-out" which was a green junk to cancel out my crappy inflamed skin… after that, make-up stick and translucent powder, followed by a long time on the eyes. "Look up, look down, look up, look down, look up…" and so on… then lips and after a bit of fixing, it was all complete, hurrah! In all that took about an hour or so. It looked really good (IMHO) and I thanked the girl profusely… it wasn't too huge a change, because I was wearing the clothes I had come in with. So I thanked Gloria and caught a taxi back to John's, it must have been around 4:30 pm. Managed to get into John's without running into anyone and also to get to the toilet. I started to pack because as I expected it took me ages to remember everything. But by about 6:30 pm I called the next cab and carried all my junk out the front of Ursies and went to Julia's place…
Met Julia for the first time which was nice, she was in "drab" mode, and so I quickly slipped into the swing of things… put some concealer on the worst parts of my chest and a little foundation and powder (note : must find a deeper colour powder). After that got dressed and everything was peachy keen! Got Julia to take a few photo's of me with my camera, in case people aren't aware, I was wearing my long black dress with the feathery shoulder stuff, long black gloves and my black coat which was really appreciated, because brrrrrr… it was cold outside. After a bit, Szusza was ready to go. She was wearing a short goldeny outfit with a fur jacket.
So we said goodbye to Julia, and I gave her a box of chocolates as a thank-you. We drove to Elly's place where there were a whole bunch of people there. I said hello to Jane who was now all dressed up and had gotten her wig styled… said hello to Chrissy who was going to be sitting at our table and who Szusza was giving a lift to. Elly was getting a limousine into the convention center which seemed a bit excessive, but hey, why not!
So we got to the Convention center and I had a good chat to Chrissy on the way, and we got there and damn! It was freezing! Brrr… maybe it was because it had been a cold day which had been followed by a clear night, but I was so thankfully for my big coat… after organizing our stuff we made it over to the Ballroom and checked our coats in at the door and making ourselves presentable we walked in through the doors…

TO BE CONTINUED…

11:30 pm – Ok, now where was I? Okkie, we got into the Convention Center and up to the Ballroom, apparently there was some Red Cross fund raiser down stairs so we got some interesting looks… *g* And we walked in and it looked really nice… balloons and candles and stuff and heaps of people there already. We found our table and we bumped into Michelle and it was great to see her. She was wearing a nice, simple bridal outfit which had been given a black lace trim and looked really great. It reminded me that I should look for something formal which isn't black… Anyway, I had a chat with her…

12:30 pm – Going to bed, write the rest up tomorrow… What a fantastic last 48 hours I've had… *smile*
Byeee!!!!!
