After the Shindig

Readers may recall that last year about the same time, the same shindig took place. Out New Fearless Leader used a Star Trek theme because she is a big Star Trek fan. Almost as big a fan as I. She chose Lt. Uhura as an image for the Secretary, because Uhura was the Communications Officer. So, I make a Lt. Uhura icon.

Now Past Fearless Leader used a Star Trek theme in her thank-you gifts when stepping down. She spent the year collecting items via eBay. Because Lt. Uhura is in the image on the Hamilton Collectors Plate, she selected this one for your humble Secretary. So of course I made it into an icon. Might be hard to see in the little image.



Tribbles! Tribbles!
Picture of a collectors plate given as a thank you gift. Photo made using Treo 750 cellphone camera. Very little modification in Photoshop.




I can haz Tribbles!

Miss Janet, is your icon a pic of your hair?

It is indeed -- the picture was taken by one of my co-workers. The way it's put up in that picture is

1. Braid it

2. Put the hair decoration in (it's essentially a barrette, with the knotwork being one piece and the pin a second)

3. Wind the braid under the barrette and tuck in the end.

Anticipating your next likely questions, *grin*, my hair reaches to my knees at its longest and to mid-thigh for most of it. I last cut it about 20 years ago. That's pretty much my natural color, except you can't really see the grey streaks from behind. I occasionally color my hair; when I do, I aim for a strawberry blonde that was close to my childhood color.
