Why I love you girls (sugar was appropriate for today)
So me and local MUA that I work with on a lot of weddings are trying desperately to find someone who will do a before and after (so show up sans makeup, take picture, get airbrushed and take picture). We found one but she just doesn't have availability at all, so she's out.
I thought that maybe I could call on 2 of my college roommates, one of which was my MOH to assist us. I mean, who doesn't want to get their makeup professionally done for FREE! Like airbrushed and lashes and awesome right? Well one emails me back that she won't do it because she's afraid of people touching her face (wtf? I never remember this in college...) and she would never let anyone take pictures without makeup on (but let me tell you about the horror of pictures on facebook....)
I know any of you girls would JUMP at the chance and do this for me if I asked. I wish you all lived closer so that this could work 
So yeah, that's a small example of the lack of support I have close to me 
I just wish that for once people IRL would support me a little bit, I just want to cry. These people were in my wedding and can't even do one little thing for me
I'm so thankful for you girls!

Re: Why I love you girls (sugar was appropriate for today)
well that just sucks for them, kara, because you are amazing.
and PS i would totally be your dummy face if i could.
Are you kidding me!?
What is wrong with people. You know Kara, if I was back in my freebird days, I would jump on a plane and help ya out.
Actually this goes for any of you gals
Keep your head up
I know!! How can you pass up airbrush AND lashes for free!? That's like $125 value!!
WHAT!!! Are they crazy?
When are you thinking? Mid Feb is the earliest I can make it to Chicago.
Who would pass that up? Are they crazy!? When do you need me to be there
?
I missed out on the sugar earlier, but I just wanted to say that you are awesome and talented and courageous! I really admire you for deciding what you wanted to do and really going for it! I am so proud of you and all your success!
We'll take you all!
I know some people would be a little scared of the no-makeup part but for the love of god everyone would know it was the no-makeup and that makeup makes a difference! That's the entire point! We don't expect flawless skin!
I'm just annoyed because really the pictures she has tagged on facebook are abhorrish.
Are they crazy! I would never pass that up!
If you need the help llet me know the day if it would work out I could help you out too ! I might need the lift in self esteem fir a day with justhaving Collin LOL
That's lame.
Also, that sounds like a ton of fun and flights to Chicago are super cheap.
I would seriously consider it if you still need someone.
margaritas in mexico
I would totally fly out for you Kara, I'm really trying to go out there by July/August. I'm just waiting for the perfect cheap flights deal to come out, and I'm going to pounce on it.
But friends-wise, your friends are wacky! Just lame, lame! We are your number one support group!
Ooooooooooh I would do it! Half the time I'm in no make up anyway
Let me know if you need me!
And that just sucks for your two old roommates. I mean, why wouldn't they do it for you!?
