Yay!  <strong><a href="http://www.diaryofalatebloomer.com/2011/07/25/day-298-my-first-audition-in-15-years/" target="_blank">I got the part!</a></strong>  I was cast in the "commercial" for Noble Publishing Superpower which will be blasted across the social media universe.

&nbsp;

I emailed marketing to enquire about who would be taking care of my hair and make-up.  I also shared my contract rider which asked for my green room to be fully stocked with a never-ending stream of double shot almond milk lattes with a hint of agave nectar as well as green M&amp;Ms only.

&nbsp;

Marketing Guru played along and asked which color I would like for my green room to painted.  I replied with either yellow or purple.

&nbsp;

Would I like flowers?  Oh, how lovely!  Thank you!  Sunflowers, please.

&nbsp;

She then dropped the bomb:  No budget for hair and make-up.

&nbsp;

<span style="font-size: medium; color: #800000;"><strong>Oh, the trials and tribulations of a Z-List Actress!</strong></span>

&nbsp;

She then sent me the photo above and asked if I could style my hair similarly.

&nbsp;

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!

&nbsp;

Uh...no.

&nbsp;

I emailed my hair stylist.  <strong><a href="http://www.hairpeace.com/" target="_blank">Salvador</a>,</strong> HELP!

&nbsp;

He mentioned something about a book that I could pick up at his studio.

&nbsp;

I don't have time to pick up a book in downtown Phoenix.  I let my fingers do the walking.  Not over the yellow pages (WHY do they still deliver them to my house when I haven't cracked one open in ten years!!!!) but over my keyboard.

&nbsp;

I Googled "1950s Vintage Hairstyles" while eating my dinner.  (A 365 project blog means that you wear the hat of Supreme Multitasker of the Universe.)  Up came all sorts of How To articles with directions.

&nbsp;

Uh...no.

&nbsp;

I meandered over to YouTube.  In the search engine, I typed "1950s Vintage Hairstyles" or something to that effect.

&nbsp;

BINGO!  A menu of option upon option appeared before me, and all promising results in less than 5 minutes!

&nbsp;

I sat there eating my dinner while learning how to do my hair.

&nbsp;

<span style="font-size: medium; color: #800000;"><strong>How did we ever survive before YouTube???</strong></span>

&nbsp;

Tune in tomorrow to see if I was able to pull this off.

&nbsp;

In the meantime, if you fancy wearing a vintage 50s hairstyle for a special event, watch this:

If, like me, you have bangs and are panicked about what to do with them, watch this:
