Made Up

“Oh, a clown?! You must wear a lot of makeup to work!” I was on my way in my first week of being a receptionist, and told my Lyft driver, who was a dude, that I was transitioning from work as a circus teacher and a clown to being in an office. He of course asked more questions about what being a clown entailed, and about makeup. I literally had spent half an hour putting on makeup and an outfit Read Post ›

Great Gatsby Headpiece – Champagne Feather Fascinator – 1920s Flapper Headband – Pearl Hair…

This “Great Gatsby” style feather fascinator is $84.95 on Etsy.  Not all ladies in the 1920’s cut their hair short, at least not in the early 20’s. So if you have long hair, you can still tuck it under and add this accessory to give you an era-appropriate ‘do.

I can’t even get into the account for a short time to let everyone know what is happening.
