I think that to assist means to make the person on stage, the person you're assisting, look good. Look better. That would be the whole point.
Sunday night before the event, I had a stress dream. (Somebody called dreams like that a 'stress dream' and I thought it was a perfect explanation!) Anyway, it kind of made me nervous because I felt like I'd humiliate myself in some way because of what was in the dream...Silly dreams...What is it with them anyway! They're just dreams!
But, I guess afterwards, for me, it was a bit more than shampooing the 'models'. First of all, it was nice to go 'through the motions' even if on such a small scale. At least I now know how it kind of works. What to expect. What to look for...
My boss asked me what I learned. What I'd do different...
And.
If I were telling hairdressers, they'd understand, maybe it'd be interesting, but I'm not going to go into it...

I came home and had the worst headache. To the point of tears. So sometimes you have to resort to drugs. Don't worry, not drugs drugs. Just a painkiller. But whoah! What in the world was in it?! I literally felt like I was on drugs...must have been the combination of something...And discussion later that day was one distraction after another, but we got through...

I was totally giddy (don't ya love that word?) about biking on Tuesday! We went on the Fish Trail.
You can tell how excited I was...

Wednesday at work, I looked like a scarecrow, but nobody said a thing, so...and for my second job later that night, I was told, "you look sick." But no worries, it was about my physical state of being, because by then, I already 'sounded' it with my sneezing, watery eyes, and voice...
And today, I got to play stylist, photographer, and later, even a personal shopper/assistant shopper. How fun!

I'm not a professional photographer! And I love it because I can get away with blurry photos, overexposed images, faulty images in general. Who's gonna blame me?!

For a requirement at work I am to create my own design. When I saw that it was one of the requirements, I totally got excited because at this point, it's not 'over my head'. My inspiration was from over five years ago when I saw a Vivian Mackinder image while in beauty school. Who knew I'd use it now? It's been in my mind ever since. Don't know where the picture is, but I remember the look!
Cool thing is I cut it from one take. Diagrammed after. I thought it would have been the other way but interestingly, did the cut first. All razored below the low horseshoe parting, scissors above. And with her hair, and the cut itself, I didn't do a single cut after drying it!
One of my absolute favorites is versatility! And with this, it can be worn so many ways. Disconnection. Short and Long. Texture. Movement. Tendrils. Baby fringe under longer fringe. (One of my favorites.) etc...I could make a list.

This is not a 'professional photo shoot'! I wish I were a pro, 'cause I know what I want, and how I want it...but anyway...these are just basic shots...
