You know, you could totally pull off the purple hair. And paint your toenails to match.

I KNOW! Maybe add some glittah too!



I think my bridal shop people would think I was insane though. I kinda hafta pull off slightly normal for them, otherwise they get skiddish. The photography people, well, they expect me to be slightly nuts.

Yes. However, the studio down the highway from me stays pretty busy according to the photographer. He's well established and serves two area high schools and families along with some commercial accounts. I'm on his referral list, but I'm not counting on getting much from it.
