That's exciting, calli! Where was it?
Glory ,'Potential'
Spike's Bitches 48: I Say, We Go Out There, and Kick a Little Demon Ass.
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.
It was at NC State U. I wouldn't even have to move--there's a commuter bus about three miles away that goes straight there.
Fingers crossed, Calli!
Tomorrow is my pin-up photo shoot, and I am nervous as hell. My stomach actually HURTS. I am silly.
They have a document explaining what to expect, what to bring, what to do (like, clean but unstyled hair, no makeup, etc.). And it includes things like "Remember to have toes and nails painted in a bright red or blush pink." Well, I almost always have my toes painted, so NBD there, but I never paint my fingernails, because it just immediately chips and looks like shit. But I'm going to paint my fingernails tonight and hope for the best. (I was painting my toes last night and grumbling to Tim about the amount of work involved in getting ready for a photo shoot, and he asked, "How much work?" I said, "I have to paint my toes, and fingernails, and shave my damn legs and wax my unruly eyebrows and trim my bangs! This is bullshit!" [That last sentence was mostly facetious posturing.] And he said "...so, personal grooming is just going out the window now?" I said, "It's almost winter! I shouldn't have to shave my legs until May!" His response? "I love my feral wife.")
(I, uh, do shower on the regular, just in case I'm sounding like a revolting human being right now.)
Teppy, if you're not used to doing your own manicure and are worried about chipping, hit up a nail salon and get a shellac manicure. It will last for at least a week to ten days without chipping. And the hand massage that usually accompanies a manicure may help you to relax.
If I had planned better, I would have done that, but I am swamped with work right now (in retrospect, this was the worst week to schedule the photoshoot), so I'm just going to use this as an excuse to not do dishes tonight.
If your nails are short, the more neutral color will look better on your hands and be more forgiving of any smears - not to mention show less chippiness in days to come.
I don't think I even own pink nail polish, so it's full-on Ready For Bed Red (not the actual name of the polish). And I looked at other photos from this studio, and the red looks really good.
And honestly, I'll probably remove the nail polish tomorrow night. I'm not used to having my fingernails a color, and it just looks weird to me. I didn't even paint my fingernails for the wedding.
I really am a feral editor lady. Sheesh. But my toenails look killer.
"I love my feral wife."
Adorable. You two, I swear.

Heh. Wait until you see us as Lana and Pam (from Archer) for Halloween. Tim has Lana's outfit just NAILED. It's kind of amazing. (I, to no one's surprise, am so lazy that I'm not attempting to re-create Pam's office attire, and I'm just wearing a white tank top and grey yoga pants to be Fight Club Pam. I can put my hair up like hers and tape my knuckles. Boom. Done.)
