Becoming Bellatrix (Stage 4)

So look what I got in the mail today, much sooner than expected! A shiny package all the way from China. I wonder what it could be???

Okay, this was unexpected. When I opened the package up, inside I found the cutest shopping bag that I've ever laid eyes on:

And inside of that was the Bellatrix wig!!!

 Before: Mild-mannered author.

 

After: Psychotic wizard killer. EPIC.

I am such a nerd. :D

Anyway, Alison warned me about the dangers of using spray paint on a wig. So while I considered an alternative solution, Laci gave me a wonderful idea for adding white hair to the wig.

Check out my latest eBay purchase:

Clip in hair! Now, they claim that you can curl this hair (it's synthetic) with no problems. We shall see...

Next up - the corset!

Becoming Bellatrix (Stage 3)

Stage 3 is my favorite stage because it is the SHOPPING stage!!! Yay!

So look what I just bought on eBay:

Now tell me that's not the perfect Bellatrix wig. I'm a little undecided on how to make the white patch. Right now I'm considering actual spray pain. (Don't worry, I'll snip a piece of hair and try it out before I paint the actual wig.) If that doesn't work maybe I'll try that flaky white temporary spray that they sell around Halloween. I'm not sure how well it will work considering the wig is synthetic. We'll see...

Another must have that I found on the internet is this:

Seriously, how cool is that? A temporary Deatheater tattoo. You can buy a pack of six for around five bucks. Not too shabby.

And since I was goofing off anyway, look what I found for my super secret Dragoncon project:

Okay, obviously after seeing this pic, super secret project isn't so secret anymore. :) Let's just hope I can pull it off!
