MEET NANCY

 

For CMS this term, our theme is Serial Killers. We have to profile a killer and the victims he/she kills and why they do what they do. 

+

{ My killer is a female named Nancy - hence the name of the blog, Nancy Ever After. As a young girl she attended schools where she was deemed unpopular and as a result of this, was often a victim of bullying and taunting. Most of this ridicule came from a specific girl named Donna. Donna, a popular and adored girl, prettified by blonde hair, a sparkling smile and all the latest fashions was also an extremely nasty girl with poor intent. Nancy became subject to her taunting and suffered severely from this. In Nancy's final year of high school, Donna was voted Prom Queen - the mere thought that anyone could find this monster attractive and likeable was beyond Nancy, and thus began her obsession.

After finishing high school in the mid-50s, Nancy became a substitute teacher. Not only was this a good career choice because it enabled her to move around the country, from school to school, but it was also a very smart decision because in each school she would murder by poison - a common murder weapon used by women - prom queens. Prom queens just like Donna - blonde and beautiful. }

 { CMS WORKSHOP }

Today after class we had an informal CMS workshop with Gina, a third year AFDA student, on how to make someone look bald - so fun! Here are some photographs I took this afternoon; also a vague step-by-step of how we achieved the final result:

1. Wet the entire head of hair and gel hair flat onto scalp.
2. Fit bald cap onto head, cover all hair entirely. 

3. Glue ends flat onto face and neck as to create a smooth surface. Cut small slits for ears to fit through.

4. Apply baby powder to 'set' glue.

 5. Apply concealer and foundation evenly.

6. Apply final touches such as eyeliner, mascara and lipstick. Style for shoot.
