New cosplay/costuming achievement unlocked!

Have burnt my hand while styling a wig with a hot comb.

(This isn’t my first cosplay burn in the hair department. I’ve touched up pincurls with a curling iron and bonked my forehead a few times while doing Peggy Carter.)

(Though in this case, it wasn’t even MY wig I was hot combing.)

(tl;dr: Didn’t like kid’s Wednesday wig; it was too heavy, and I know what said kid will complain about. Also, the braids were stupid thick. And the cap construction was meh. Had 13 x 6 Outre 32" wig that did not work for my costume. Realized I could a: add bangs; b: arrange things so as to braid without revealing the tracks; and c: cut the length down afterwards, and if nothing worked, could just use the bd wig. I also cut my knuckle with the thinning sheers while adjusting the bangs. Didn’t do a perfect job–the bangs are too wide for my liking–but I was working with a weirdly ventilated lace section. I usually love Outre, but this was probably the worst one of their wigs I’ve owned. Anyhow, it looks fine, the kid has declared it comfortable, and I have tiny slivers of synthetic hair everywhere on my person from doing the touch-up parts.)

What day of the week were you born on?

Monday

Tuesday

Wednesday

Thursday

Friday

Saturday

Sunday

Also, did you know off the top of your head or did you have to scroll back a ton on your calendar?

I was a morbid child appropriately born on a Wednesday. I can’t remember not knowing that woe was my birthright. (Any other day, it might not have stuck, but Wednesday is an awesome day to be born.)

(My own child was also born on a Wednesday, and I thought it was fitting at the time, given that Wednesdays are New Comic Book Day. Of course, our first stop on the way back home from the hospital later that week was the comic bookshop so that I could pick up my pulls.)

have y’all ever had communion bread that was just so….nasty? like i know we have to suffer as christians, but do we really need to have whole wheat bread as the body of christ?

my old church used hawaiian bread. my standards are high

Some old housemates of mine were Syrian Orthodox. At their church different members of the church took turns baking the bread that would be consecrated for the Eucharist. This was all well and good until one woman baked raisin bread. This led to the memorable occasion of a rather flustered priest, who had not seen the bread until that moment, declaring, “This - except for the raisins - is the Body of Christ.”

EXCEPT FOR THE RAISINS omg

Raisins are just dried grapes though, and wine is his blood so really its like a two in one shampoo & conditioner except with jesus
