Bumping this silliness again, because I'm excited still about this costume thing to the point I need to babble about it and keep this updated. I got the wig, I love it, it seems to fit nicely (I'm pretty stupid with hair nets and figuring things out, so it was an honest learning process for me).
I didn't like the tattoo sleeves. Keeping them because I'll probably find some reason to be a dork and wear them, but I then ordered henna to try out and that should arrive in less than week (a tube of dark pinkish/purple was only five bucks). And I did a bit of searching on it first to know what to avoid in terms of unsafe chemicals; as far as I read the kind I picked should be fine, and I'm pretty excited about it.
Otherwise I'm just waiting for the headphones and shoes at this point in the mail. Still plenty of time left to pick up last-minute things, I suppose. I put on some of the stuff I have already and my boyfriend said I looked "androgynous" with the wig and clothing, which I'm perfectly okay with. I didn't necessarily want to look incredibly masculine or feminine.
Blah blah, anyway, that's it, if anyone here has personally used henna before and wants to talk about their experience with it, please feel free. I've otherwise just checked out some video tutorials to learn a bit about it and see what it does.
