Yay, tutus! Or RooTus. Haha. I'm loving that my tutorial lives on....and that makes me happy that I used the word "INCREDIMAZING" in it.
Since we were briefly on the topic of sunscreen a page or two back, I have a question I've been meaning to ask - how do you ladies keep your scalps from burning where your hair parts? Mine always burns and the only way I can avoid it is constant bandanas. But I mean, sometimes I want a hairstyle that doesn't involve a bandana, y'know?! My hair is always gross enough as it is, I really don't want to be spraying sunscreen into it.
I guess the obvious answer is "buy a damn hat already" and I WANT to, really, I do, but then every time I get all IT'S HAT-BUYIN' TIME OKAY I go put one on my head and look in a mirror and suddenly it is no longer hat-buyin' time. I'm never happy with the way I look in 'em. Soooo I thought I'd see if someone out there has a magical scalp-protection secret.
In other news, I ended up spending a ridiculous amount of money on clothes for the new job and still feel like I have nothing to wear. BUT I got some adorable dresses from H&M. Wish I could find pics on their site for you but I don't see 'em. I got one fairly basic gray one, but I also got a black one with little apples all over it, one with a black and white bunny rabbit print, a navy blue one with teeny stars on, and a blue one with red and white polka dots that looks amazing on me if I do so say myself. And I got a pair of blue suede shoes. Well, fake suede. I think. I hope.
PEPPER! you maybe camping with me again this year? also, Friday for use of "Incredimazing" also also, Im sooooo happy you have a sweet job. AND that you got stuff at H&M! I adore that place.

How do you make them poofy? I am going to attempt to make one. I was searching around for some ideas but but but I want this! ('cept not a christmas one)
YES! Last year Roo '11, I had battery operated white LED christmas lights - i think a 100 or 50 count strand - I just wrapped them around my waist, and hooked the batt pack to my shorts. Then pulled my RooTu on over the lights and turned that poop on. It. Was. EPIC. I got so many compliments! And it was great because there was nothing to it - just a plain RooTu, but with lights underneath. super easy and super fun.

and Pepper, buy a damn hat already! Really though, I look awful in hats (see my avi? HA!) but it helped sooo much to have the sun out of my eyes. I can't spend time outside in the summer without one now, even away from roo.

Those are awesome!! I might have to have my friend help me create something for this year. I kind of held back with last year being my first and I didn't know what to expect. No regrets and no over-packing this year!
JHo- Thanks for posting the instructions!!! In another month or so when work slows down, I am TOTALLY making one!
Pepper- Normally, I ALWAYS have a part because I think I look horrible without one, but at Roo I often just pull my hair straight back. It won't burn and it hides the nasty hair better anyways.
Welcome back Bonz, but I do not find it strange that your presence being requested in the Orgy thread and then you showing up, like it was the quacking Bonzai Bat Signal.
Perhaps I'll have to look for a fashinable fanny pack this year.
I have the cutest pack that also doubles as a sling-over purse. I've had it for 3 seasons and it's been everywhere with me! Awesome stuff this chick from Seattle makes (used to be Indiana when I bought mine and now she has a store and stuff!)

CKS - sorry I missed your question about the tutus!! - I don't have a tututorial, but it's crazy easy. I can knock one out in an hour or so. I DO have an etsy store - I shut it down bc I wasn't knitting as much as I used to... Maybe I will open it back up for RooTus??? Good idea.
Bonzai - I was considering a belt pack just for my camera and cash. the 2 things I need alllllllll the time. My little camelback holds an ass-o-stuff, but it's a pain slinging around all the time. Good link on the leather belts. I think I may "steal" some of that idea and make my own belt pack with a singular little pocket. .....LET THE BONNAROO CRAFTING BEGIN.

Put some sunscreen along your part! You have to be careful, but it's always worked for me.
I spray sun-screen on my finger and rub it along the part. I have burned too many times there. so I always remember now. We have also discovered (in the absence of sun-screen) that you can use spf15 Chapstick on your part also!! Yes that happened at Roo.....

I did the Color Run last weekend. Everyone wore white and people threw powdered color all over you. There was a whole team there with fluffy white tutus! Made me feel like 'roo came early ^_^
Most definitely gonna have to make/obtain a RooTu this year!
^i had some friends do it in austin and it looked like they had a great time.
really you guys if you have a target near you, just start going there every other week or so if you are looking for dresses. they already have out a ton of ones for summer. (including the kimono style you were looking for abra.)

THANK YOU for this! I love those bags and they are a really good price. I'm totally getting one. Just waiting until festie season is a little closer because I'm between sizes now, and hopefully will be in the smaller one by summer. I'm on the weight loss train, too. 10 pounds officially since New Years! Woo-hoo!

Hi Everyone! I've been reading through all these amazing posts, and now that I am officially going (got my ticket today!), I've decided to stop lurking and say hi.

I have tried on about 3 of them from Target and they are defiantly going to work. Just waiting for funds to free up and then they are mine! Thanks for the suggestions!
