Last month, my friend Lindsay called me up and wanted to use me as a model at her beauty school for a "Through the Ages" competition. She wanted to create a 1920's flapper girl look on me which took a lot of effort being that I had the completely wrong type of hair for such a thing.
It was fun being a doll for a day! Other than putting together most of the flapper costume, I just had to sit there and let Lindsay do all the work.
Using glues and heavy foundation, she covered up my natural eyebrows and painted new ones on me to give those iconic thin high arches. She gave me fake eyelashes to give me that dolls look and painted cupid's bow lips on me. Between the eyebrows and the lips I was totally transformed and I didn't even look like myself. Next, she transformed my waist-long straight hair into a short wavy bob, not by cutting but by tucking, hiding, crimping, etc.
I walked the cat walk with the the other models in front of the judges, Lindsay won third place in the competition and a lot of recognition amongst her peers and teachers. Afterwards, we went over to a local park and had a fun photo shoot to show off our work. I tried to get Keith Gerling to take some photos of lindsay's creation, but he had another photo shoot that day.
Below you can browse through some of the photos from the shoot!
