So it's only 47 days until I leave for Vegas. The trip is booked and paid for. I made the last payment on and picked up my dress. Right now i'm just working on trying to make money for spending on the trip. I'll be getting $212 from my blog, decent chunk of change. And i'm still doing hair for friends to try and scrounge up money.
On Sunday i've been asked to do a birthday party and put feathers in for 7-9 girls. That's at least $70 bucks to add onto my spending money fund. Pretty exciting.
I'm worried about making enough to last the whole trip, I know when my mom and I went we had to ask to borrow some money from my dad because we went over budget, so to speak. I know my mom has told our relatives about it, because she's excited for me. I hope my grandpa and grandma will send me some birthday money, and maybe my aunt(Since her and her husband are fucking loaded). I haven't really spoken to my dad about the trip, because I have a feeling he wont be thrilled but hopefully he'll give me some amount of money for my birthday.

Feathery Heads
So the big craze in the beauty industry right now is "Feather Extensions
". Feathers from roosters, cleansed, dyed and then attached into the hair with a crimp bead. These feathers were more commonly used for fly tying, and now because of the popularity of using them in the hair, these fly-fishing suppliers are running out. A fly-fishing store in my city will turn away anyone they think is going to use the feathers for anything other than fly tying.
In salons, stylists are charging around $20 to put ONE little feather in a person's hair. My thoughts? Quite ridiculously outrageous. Does this mean I don't want to try and cash in on this? Absolutely not. I've already won two lots of feathers on ebay and made around $70 putting in about 10 for close friends. I've already made back twice what I spent to get the feathers I purchased, and I still have around 50+ left.
The craze I wont jump on is "hair tinsel". Yes, tinsel. Think of the shiny silver crap you throw all over your Christmas tree. Hair Tinsel
can be viewed here, if you're curious. I am not quite sure what the appeal is and definitely think anyone willing to wear it in their hair might as well bleach it out, dye it green and add ornaments while they're at it. But i'm sure there are plenty of people who think that all of the "feather heads" might as well grow a beak and strap on some wings.
As long as the craze continues to make me so much money, i'll be happy to help every girl get a little closer to her dream of becoming a bird.
