15 days...Everything's falling into place!

It's funny how the pieces always come together in the end. I was able to talk to a good friend who teaches theatre in the USA last night and make a decision about what make-up to use for painting myself green. Someone had warned me that the water based make-up I'd originally chosen might not handle me sweating on stage for any length of time... but in the long run, it's not as if I have to be green for a whole day or under hot studio lights for hours and hours. Being able to blend two basic types of make-up will give me the look I need without spending Hollywood budget prices to get myself there. This is a dream, but it's not an unlimited budget!

This friend was also able to give me great tips on which type of wig to buy. He pointed out that it was more important to get the right style of wig in black than it was to find the green colour. There are ways of giving a black wig green highlights, which can be washed out later, rather than having green filaments that cannot be styled the way you want.

I guess tonight's blog is really a thank you to all the people who have given me the encouragement and advice along this road that I have needed in order to make this dream a reality. I could not have done this alone... so THANK YOU!!
