Shooting and shopping

The issue with Vision and the $350 and the remaining pictures for a photoshoot is somewhat resolved (see post “Ignored” from June). I called the agency, they were cool, and we just needed to find a good time to finish the job. But that also means hair, makeup and clothes. Makeup they’ll take care of. The clothes and hair are up to us.

That’s fine, really. Alice needs a touch up on her extensions anyway. As her hair grows out, the knots get lower, and with time looser, so she needs to have several of them redone. Plus a trim. Extension hair is real hair, but it still gets worn and fringey looking over time. So, first she’ll go to Sweeney Todd’s in the late morning and our girl Jess will give her hair some trim and tightening.

Then Alice will go to Vision for the shoot. And she needs clothes for that. Trendy, cool, fashionable looking clothes that they can pick from. Alice tells me and I believe her, that they kind of looks they want are not what she wears everyday. Check out the Vision site to the right to see what she means.

So, guess what we’re doing tonight?

That’s right, folks, going to THE mall. Oh joy. Not quite as bad as sitting in the passenger seat as Alice tries to drive (MY car). But not a ton of fun on a glorious summer evening (and the weather in the Twin Cities this summer – knock on wood – has been cool and wonderful).

She has a few looks in mind to help speed things up. Like this look at American Apparel. Which is certainly better than this look from American Apparel. Since I’m completely not one to advise on fashion for any age group, let alone hers, I won’t do much more than approve the purchase as OK/legal to wear. But the money comes from her.
