About Mrs. Crab Cake

When we last met, all the girls had their hair all beautified, and it was my turn.

And the nerves and anticipation of the day hit me.

Little Miss Thing came to talk to me and cheer me up/calm me down. And stuff her face.

It doesn’t get any sexier than the black shroud and medusa like curls. But, I could feel myself calming down. There’s just something about getting my hair done. So relaxing.

Medusa was finally starting to look like a human again. And a hairstyle was forming.

A few adjustments to my “bump”

And some hairspray, and I was done.

Flower in place…

… and lessons in veil placement (which were apparently extremely funny!)

And my hair was all done.

Next, who knew it would take a village to put my makeup on!

@Lillindy: Ha, I wish! No, they are artificial lashes I had placed a few days before the wedding. They were awesome for the reason I wanted them, but I pain in the rear to get off. Still glad I had them though.

Your hairstyle is super cute! I really like the sideswept bang-action you’ve got going on! Can’t wait to see more photos of Mini - I’m such a sucker for cute blondes :)

I love the Medusa curls! They’re fun in a “Shirley Temple met the electrical socket” way. That’s how my hair always curls, but I still get a kick out of it.
