commotiocordisThe henna trufax worked like excellent. Except there's no chance of me getting pictures, because evidently mum and Kaci are staying in Vermont for three weeks. Erm, WTF? But yes. I've never actually splurged for the oil to add in, but Tthat totally did the trick. I fail at doing the designs, though. They turned out okay, anyway, which is good. Still, I just kept going with them until I had the back and palm of my left hand done, the instep/underside of both feet, and the palm of my right hand. By that time, though, I couldn't do anything because I couldn't move any of my appendages, so I took it all off shortly after the right palm. Which, as a result, is v. light, but still darker than when I've done it before.
So that's cool. The back of my left hand now says Serenity in Mandarin, because I was feeling Firefly-y, there's the Greek letter Psi on my right palm, a stylized Venus symbol on my left foot, a stylized triple luna on the right, and some random design goodness on the left palm (which is the one that turned out darkest; I washed it off about 40 minutes ago and it's already darkdark orange).
And then I dumped the rest of it (not a whole lot, so it didn't cover all of it; just at my face and along my usual part) on my roots. Which I'm sort of worried about, because as it's mixed in a completely different way, it might end up turning dark brown or something and look odd because it's not blended. If it does screw up, I can always just do it again normally anyway, but if it's too much darker, no matter what I do on top of it, it won't match up until the dark wears down. But I'm going to take it off earlier than usual, which should negate that a bit.
But since I didn't feel like using plastic wrap and because the foil was out, I've now got a sheet of foil on my head. Not wrapped around or anything, it's just about the size of half a piece of paper and stuck to the henna on top. We're talking about going to get ice cream later, and if we go soon, I'm going to still have it on. I've decided I'm going to tell people that I'm trying to stop the CIA from reading my mind to find out I'm a communist/stealing my precious bodily fluids. (w00t, Dr. Strangelove reference.)

Date: 2007-07-06 02:22 pm (UTC)And I ttly would have done it, too.
I ended up putting this cowboy hat thing on top of the foil on top of my head and calling myself a space cowboy. That was entertaining. Except the lady at the Sonic didn't even notice because it was her first day and she got flustered because she messed up our order. Which is sad, because I wanted to make her first day even more crazy.
