Emotionally Battered

I survived my second dress fitting! Very nearly thought I wouldn't though...don't ask me why I entertain such strange thoughts...I just do...

The good news is it was an eventful trip down and I am beginning to get alittle more excited about the dresses. However, realized today that I have gotten myself a nazi make-up artist.
(Note: Just to clarify, I say this in an endearing manner as I know I would rather one who orders me about with good intentions as long as I look better at the end of the day.)

During the make-up session, it was strongly suggested that I should:
  • Layer my hair and cut my fringe even shorter (do note that i JUST had my hair coloured and cut)
  • Buy 3M tape to stick back my ears
  • Put on a mask to further moisturize my skin
  • Get a mani/pedicure
  • Stand up straight yet look relaxed (Haven't quite figured this one out yet cause if I'm going to stand ramrod straight, I will end up looking stiff! *mutters*)
  • Look down and smile at the camera
  • Get used to the false eyelashes
And a number of other things which I have now forgotten. *shucks*

Here's me practising my smile with all that make-up and false eyelashes on:

Trying to look down and smile

Yes, i know..LOOK DOWN and SMILE!

Right now, I feel like I'm dumbo the elephant with chipmunk cheeks who also happens to be an uncouth slob that should really get a better posture. Even though I knew I had issues, this was alot to take in one and a half hours.

Pleased to share though that I emerged from this session almost unscathed beyond a few emotional splinters. I also now have a longer to-do list to work on with 3M tape HIGH on my agenda.

An aside, I always seem to be coveting other people's gowns whenever I'm at the shop. Seriously though..it's hard not to..check out the gorgeous dresses below:

P.S My dress is NOT there...so no prizes for guessing which is mine. =)
