5 sleeps till we Sparkle
I have been mentioning Sparkle for ages either on this blog, or on the Angels site. And now the weekend is fast approaching.
Still have no firm idea what I am going to wear. I am going to need several outfits for the whole weekend. I need something for Friday night, something for daytime on Saturday and something for Saturday evening.
I sorta know what I am going to wear on Saturday daytime ... I have a long brown skirt, white vest top and brown jacket. Got myself one of those nice disc belt things too. Either going to wear boots, or I have some lovely sandals as an option if its hot. Kinda going for casual look for daytime...
For the Friday and Saturday I am not so sure. I know that on one of the evenings I am going to wear this nice red top. But not sure when. Likewise I dont have a clue what to wear on the other evening... But all I can say is thank heavens for the Next catalogue! (But why can't it look as good on me as it does on them? Bah!)
Will have to have a trawl through my wardrobe tomorrow and sort some things out...
My other worry is the fact that usually I only ever dress up for an evening. The saturday is worrying me because a) It is the first time I have been out in public in daytime and b) I am going to have to dress during the day and then keep it on for the whole of the evening... running the risk of stubble showing through etc.... Don't quite know how best to prepare for that one. Will I be able to do running repairs, or will I need to take the whole thing off and then put it back on again?
Like Siobhan says in her blog post the other day, I too have to cope with a slightly stubborn shadow below my nose that is really hard to mask....
It will also mean that daytime on Saturday I am going to have to wear my glasses as I cannot wear my contact lenses all day and all night.. bah! Still at least they are small frames and look pretty unisex.
So the Sparkle preparations will begin in earnest tomorrow. By Friday I need to - shave legs and chest (I dont usually do this, but have dispensation for a special occasion) - Bleach my arm hairs - Paint my toenails - organise clothes.
Oooh... getting excited.

Do you have to write down all this - you're making me nervous as I have done nothing. Even the thought of bunking off Friday lunchtime is making me nervous! See you there.

Daytime is a difficult one isn't it? No matter what I do make-up-wise, I just can't get away from the "face-falling-off" look. Which is why, frankly, I'm going in drab :)

You assuredly will, as the transport and accommodation has been sorted as of this afternoon, suppose something had to be organised.
Vanessa and I will be arriving in Glossop (our base for the weekend) Friday afternoon. Being early for me is a novelty - you'll have to adjust your time clock so you're there for Wednesday otherwise I know you'll be fretting. ;)

Yeah Rachel... I leave tomorrow :-)
Actually I'm heading to Kims on the way up and convoying... so whatever time I turn up I will be late by the time Miss Angel is ready ;-)
