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 Multi-tasker 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:
