ok listen I was going to make myself a real classy handmade hair flower fascinator thing to wear to this wedding I’m going to this weekend. I really, really was. And it was going to be nice, made of some nice white silk I have, starched and molded the way the tutorials said. Tasteful, couture, etcetera. And then I was going to decorate it with the feathers I collected myself, trimmed from the tails of the Homburg roosters I bought for that express purpose and raised from day-old chicks. Yes really, I made a special trip up after sunset to catch them in their sleep to cut the feathers.
But I forgot the bag of feathers at the farm… twice.
And I just… didn’t get around to making any flowers.
So I went to Jo-Ann’s, figuring I’d just get some plain green ribbon, braid it into my hair, and call it a day. A braid crown is fancy enough, I’m just some middle-aged distant relative-in-law, whatever. I already have fancy shoes I’ll probably fall off of at least once.
But they had these… rubber fake succulent plants? On clips. Like, for real. Realistic, for fake flower arrangements. $1.49 each. Life-size.
So… I bought a 50% off card of white faux-silk roses, and a rubber aloe plant, and I’m definitely making myself a fascinator out of all this, and nobody can stop me, because why the fuck not.
You know what? I like to stay entertained, what can I say.
