Now a young lady ....

She's turning 16 this year, still a baby in so many ways. She doesn't like dressing up, not loving colors in her wardrobe but black. Pixel's dance night is fast approaching. I've been constantly reminding her about the preparation that she needs to do before the big night. Always brushing it off until she realized it's the end of the week, and she only have 5 days to prepare. So she and her friends went on a dress hunt and luckily they found one on the same day. Now, it's my turn to help her w/ the shoes and accessories that will complete her choice of dress. Hours have passed, blisters in my feet, hungry, exhausted, 10 shops later and we still haven't found the perfect shoes for her dress. Not to mention, she changes her mind few times on what color to choose. Then finally we found a pair just before the sun set on the horizon...whew! The next day we took care of her reading glasses, she change her style from a dorky wide black frames to a simple light colored one. She even agreed to get some disposable lenses, so she can wear nice make up and look good during the dance night. 
Few days passed and finally the big night.We started with her face, put a little boosting cream to leave on for few hours before we apply her make up. Then we moved to her hair, shampooed it, conditioned then drying out. Followed by curling iron, spray and styling. Next is the make up, base, powder, shadows, highlights, blush and finally the lipstick ... I was her personal beautician ;-)
 The Year 11 Dance Night is suppose to be a masquerade, so she and her friends recycled their old  Halloween costume.
