The Great Gatsby/I got a haircut

In May, The Great Gatsby, a film that I had been waiting on for over a year, came out. Now, being the nerds that we are, and also super excited about the film, my friend Amanda and I went to the first showing at our local cinema, and we dressed up. Readers of my blog (haha) may not know this (as I don't post incredibly regularly), but I am pretty into costumes and dress up. I will go out of my way to put together a costume, even if I'm only going to be wearing it for a few hours. In the past, I have even been known to cut an dye my hair to better suit the costume I am wearing (i.e. Madeline, Velma from Scooby Doo).

This past Hallowe'en, my friend Brandon and his girlfriend asked me to do their make-up. He was Frankenstein's monster, and she was the Bride.

Now, in order to make sure that I knew how to do the make-up properly, I made sure to try it out on myself a few days before the party.

I did the same thing with my make-up for Gatsby.

However, with long hair, I looked a little more Lillian Gish than Louise Brooks, and I wanted to go for a more authentic flapper vibe. So I got a haircut, and I finger waved my hair for the movie. I also bleached my eyebrows so it would be easier to soap them out.

I also did Amanda's make-up and hair (finger waved and pin curled at the front, in a bun at the back), and lent her a dress.

Anyway, this is what my haircut looks like on a day-to-day basis:
