hollybrookeSince it's my last day off until the 4th, I dedicated today to prepping myself for Trixie this weekend with Help Me Mommy. I did a whitening strip on my teeth this morning, and I'm doing one right now (I know it's going to make my teeth super-sensitive in the morning, but I swear, it's the best dietary aid I know of!). I worked out. (Jillian Michaels, I hate you for push-ups, but I love you for it!) I shaved my legs really well. I went outside and did some yard/gardening work to try to work on my tan.
And WOW. I got a crappy sunburn on my back today in the process. I hope this fades into a decent tan by Saturday night, or else I'll look like a freaking tomato onstage. (For real. My bikini is red.) SPF 15, you have forsaken me! WTF?! The rest of my body tanned okay, but my back! YIPES!
But I did end up getting a spray tanner to try to even it out, in case. I should've just went with a spray tanner in the first place, but I never seem to get it on right and I look streaky or splotchy.
Test-dove my makeup and hair. 'Twas cute. I may actually wear it like that to work on the 3rd! But I'll tone down the makeup so I don't look too gaudy (stage-ready is never really work-appropriate).
And I will make sure good pics are taken. As a matter of fact, I kind of hope a picture of me looking that cute could work for my cast bio pic, since Tim just e-mailed us all about that.
(BTW, the look I'm going for is retro-ish American pin-up girl.)

I'd say put a ton of concealer on over it for the show, but that might not be a good idea if you got burned heh. Then again, if it's only on your back, it might not be seen from stage.
Regardless, good luck!
