Things I have learned so far this morning...

* Green makeup on your fingers does not work well with office work.
* Blowing your nose while trying not to wipe off your makeup is a difficult skill.
* It is possible to confuse your co-workers with a little green makeup & a wig.
* Wigs are hot. Not as in sexy hot.

Yes, it's Halloween today 'round the old day job. I'm Elphaba, of course. I kid you not, I got up at 4:30am to put on the whole getup. Ugh!




Forgive the crappy photo. I took it myself in my living room while in a huge rush. I'll try to get some better photos later today. With my "hair" long like that, I look eerily, spookily like my mother when she was my age. Like, exactly. Maybe I should have went as her for Halloween instead.

Thanks! I'm trying my best, but I can still see smudges on my papers.

Wow! That is really amazing. And you were right in picking that particular shade of green that you went with for your fingernails. It's a good match.

And you look like a different person with straight hair. Totally!

Will you come into work like that? You work tonight, don't you?

Thanks. I'm quite fond of how it turned out. Plus, hardly anyone else has dressed up, so I'm pretty much a shoe-in for a prize in the costume contest. And the guy in our little cafe who flirts with me every morning gave me free breakfast. ;)

I will come into work like this tonight, don't worry. But I'll probably have to take it all off as it is quite hot, and I'll get all sweaty. I don't want to see what it looks like when it's running down my face.

You're gonna be pop-u-lar!

BAHAHAHAHAHA. That's truly awesome. Now go win that prize!

Thanks! While I was walking to the printer a moment ago, I overheard two of the judges talking about me & how I was sure to win. *thumbs up*

Leigh, you look HAWT!!!

I love it!!! Viva la Elphaba!


And yeah, wigs are unbearable on the noggin after a while. My Bettie wig makes me sweat like crazy after wearing it a while.
