1920's dress up- Oh what fun !

Friday morning on Nov. 25.I get a phone call from Bong Deparine my Amazing Cebu producer: Nics we are going to the Radisson Blu Anniversary tonight. 1920's is the theme. Ok panic mode! The nerd in me thinks:ok, research woman ! research ! 1920's look- wavy hair ,bobs with bangs, exaggerated hair accessories, loose dresses, maryjanes with mid heels.(I don't have those!) Improvise ! Pinterest my savior ! I found a pic before of Lauren Conrad and diy wavy hair circa 1920's. Ok here goes diy mode! Spritzed my nape hair area with hairspray then braided it into two. one left and the other right side. then zigzagged them and fastened them with hairpins. Next I spritzed on hair spray to the other half of my hair in small sections one by one and curled them around my
free kerastase birthday gift: a straightening/curling iron. Waited for the smoked that sounded like it was frying bacon(oops! it's my hair !) Don't get alarmed by the sizzling sound, I read in a blog somewhere, It's the hairspray that is burning off its residue. After curling it, release the hair downwards in a spiral. Then pin curl it with bobby pins. Chose a side part for the front of your face then continue to use curling iron and pin tuck each into little rounds shapes. Secure with hairpins.Spritz on some more of your hair spray then blow dry it. Leave it in for a few hours.The longer hours the better. I finished at 11 am. And took it out at 5 pm. Take out all the pins and braids. Comb hair with a large flat brush. Since my hair was long to start with I needed to pin the length inwards in a circular fashion. Then fasten the hair pin under the curls so as not to be seen. So far, so good.  Roll it loosely and overlapping each other to create the illusion of wavy 1920's hair.  Ta-dah! Now for the make up:
smokey eyes and red pouty lips. Ok I can do that. Foraged in my closet. Loose dresses are not my thing! Thank God I finally found one: circa 2009 black fringed sheath dress from SM Miss Couture line.  I must confess: in a moment of panic I used my pearl belts as necklaces. Add a touch of red to make it more 2011. A bag and shoes.

How do I look?
