• The tinted hair color spray (jerome russell & others) is flaking onto forehead. What am I doing wrong? -- Help with hair color spray!, 06:32:43 11/23/09 Mon

  • Some of the cans are worse than others, have found this to be hopeless in some cases. Otherwise shake it really well before spraying and over coat with clear hairspray. (NT) -- Happy Mom, 07:19:17 11/23/09 Mon
  • I use hair mascara from Sally Beauty Supply that works better for us than spray. No flakes and chips, but I am not doing any drastically color changes, just slight to blend better with wig (NT) -- Another option, 07:46:50 11/23/09 Mon
    • Not for blondes, thats for brown hair. (NT) -- blondes need spray, 10:17:01 11/23/09 Mon
      • We use it to lighten my blond DD Pouf, her roots are a little darker than the wig. It just looks like mascara, but it is yellow blond and covers very well, can do it streaky to look like highlights. (Is a product sold specifically to cover grey roots between hair dyes.) (NT) -- hth, 16:21:49 11/23/09 Mon
        • The one we use (and I have used brown, red and blonde) is for doing highlights in hair, and they all work fabulously, easy to apply and control, (NT) -- we all have our preferences, 02:26:21 11/25/09 Wed
  • I use a base coat of white (like a primer), then after the white is dry use the blond. When that is dry, I brush off the excess before doing the poof. You can always touch up lightly afterward if it needs more color. (NT) -- Brunette dancer goes blond., 12:37:12 11/23/09 Mon
    • Had to laugh at this--almost sounds like home improvement for the head! (NT) -- : ), 14:18:33 11/23/09 Mon
      • We had the same problem--spray Tressemee extra hold aerosol hairspray over the color-it will stop the flaking (NT) -- --good luck, 19:16:01 11/23/09 Mon
    • Is it the jerome russell white? Do you spray before poof? We sprayed after poof and once wig was on, but looking for a better way. (NT) -- thank you, 09:00:44 11/24/09 Tue

• I'm a "has-been" and have been retired and out of the loop for 5-6 years now. I was just curious to see how much new dresses from the big name dress makers are costing these days? Before I retired, they were almost $2,000! -- Crazy how time flies, 18:41:09 11/22/09 Sun

  • They seem to range anywhere from $1800-2800.00 (NT) -- before shipping & rhinestones., 00:42:11 11/23/09 Mon
  • Two years ago with the unfavorable exchange rate at the time, Elevations were running about $3000. Dd's new Elevation just came in under $2000. (NT) -- hth, 04:13:36 11/23/09 Mon
    • The pound was at $2.08 two years ago, $1.66 now. Your $2000 dress would have been $2500 two years ago. A dress that was $3000 two years ago would be $2400 now. (NT) -- -, 06:30:40 11/23/09 Mon
      • Do you recall how was the euro doing two years ago (say, summer '07) compared to now (NT) -- just curious, 09:38:37 11/23/09 Mon
      • Dd's previous Elevation dress came in at about $3000 just 2 1/2 yrs ago. Her new Elevation came in just under $2000 recently. Not sure why you felt you needed to debate the price of our dress. I paid for them so I am the one who knows the cost. (NT) -- hth, 07:55:57 11/24/09 Tue
        • The cost of your recent dress in pounds must have been less than it was 2 1/2 years ago. Don't you find that at all interesting? (NT) -- -, 21:39:36 11/24/09 Tue
  • Try this site: http://www.x-rates.com/ on the left side is history you can put a date and see. (NT) -- Love technology, 11:11:02 11/23/09 Mon
  • I bought our first elevation in the spring of 2007 and my $300 USD deposit was $597 and the dress came in at jst under $3000, the exchange rate was awful for a while, new one purchsed this year was under $2000 (NT) -- Elevation fan, 11:28:57 11/23/09 Mon

• Oireachtas -- jeanne / head for the world, 04:15:35 11/24/09 Tue
  Hi All, Just want to let you know a few issues that I’ve been dealing with. I’m expecting a shipment of PaddyK tops to be delivered directly to me @ the Oireachtas but I just found out yesterday that the whole shipment is white. So if you’ve been waiting for a white shirt, that’s good news. I still have some black and blue shirts but mostly size small. Bloomers….long story but the primary lady who makes my bloomers had to have hip surgery 2 weeks ago and hasn’t made bloomers for awhile…my back-up bloomer lady has been working hard but now has the flu…this means that I don’t have “lots” of satin bloomers like I usually do. I was able to purchase a large amount of “brief” style bloomers in red, royal, dark green, white, black, silver, and gold so I hope that helps.
  
  If you need a headband for the Oireachtas, please come and see me as soon as you arrive. I’ll have all my “stuff” with me to make custom headbands. I’ll also have Sharon from Tillies Tiaras working with me @ my table so between the 2 of us we will be able to make you any headband you want. If you have fabric that matches your costume…bring it with you and we can use it for a more custom headband.
  
  Cindy from www.irishwiglady will also be at my table Thursday night and Friday…if you need a Camelia Rose wig, please contact her with the color information and if she has it, she’ll hold it for you. After Friday, Camelia Rose wigs will not be available at my table….unless you’ve pre-ordered one.
  
  So that’s it…I’ll have lots of other stuff…tons of earrings, number clips, polka dot luggage, etc. Good Luck to all the dancers, safe travels to all …and I’ll see you in Philly!
