I found a pirate hat headband in my closet that I totally forgot I had. I am SO bringing that to roo. Hmm and if I can find some good ones I wouldn't mind having deely-boppers with me too. But for the most part I don't think I'll have any crazy costumes.
Oh, and to echo what everyone else said about people thinking you're weird - people will think that if you're wearing something that looks uncomfortable, either in the heat or just generally. So yeah, high heels and club-type tops and makeup...and like...leather. Or pleather. I would definitely look at you funny if you wore leather in 90 degree heat.
It's been a minute since I've posted on here ...really crazy semester, but it's sooooo close to being done (tuesday)! ;D
I'm also a native Long Islander, from the North Fork area
Interesting there's so many of us - do you all remember that they originally were going to have Bonnaroo on the Grumman site?
...didn't work out - but I think for the better! Could you imagine 80,000 'roo people on the LIE? in the summer tourist season? flying into Macarthur?! lol

If I do anything, I may wear a costume one night. Last year I saw girl all kinds of decked out in glowsticks (like, a glowstick costume) at the FLips. So I kinda wanna do that. I forgot my costumes last year
By the way, my friend went to Old Navy yesterday and said they have cute dresses on sale for like, $9. I'm going to check it out this afternoon and will report back!

I have announcements!!
My mother is finally cool with the idea of me going to Bonnaroo with just my guy friend so thank goodness for that! She even helped me set up my tent for a trial run lol.
I think I finally have my Bonnaroo wardrobe complete so that means I need to avoid shopping at all costs.

Very excited
yay!!! so very exciting! what did you say that convinced her? i'm glad there's not going to be any tension about bonnaroo...you don't want anything to spoil your experience.
i have "enough" clothes for 'roo...but i can't stop looking. a lot of the things i have are older, and i just want new stuff! i'm such a girl!
^^Same here. I have enough clothes to get me through 4 Bonnaroos quite well dressed but I keep finding stuff that seems cuter and better in comparison. I <3 new clothes with such a burning passion, its my second biggest addiction. (Carbs is the #1.)
But awesome for you, Alessia! I know its such a relief, I've been there.
I have also been tie dyeing up a storm! Maybe tonight I will debut my "line" on here! We have some stuff waiting to go in the washer, I'm so nervous about how they turned out!!
Post by plasticpepper on Apr 27, 2008 21:24:17 GMT -5
Alessia, that's so great that your mom is cool with it now! I too would like to know what the magic words were!
I haven't gotten around to tie-dying anything yet...I'll be really jealous when you girls start posting pics! I'm planning to do some sheets as well, but they're going to have to wait a week or so until I finish all my school stuff.
Oh, and I have an announcement of my own, too! I've officially secured not one but TWO jobs for the summer! They're both projects that my typography professor had that she wanted more people for, so I'll mostly be able to work from home whenever I want and I'll be working with awesome people. And I'll be doing graphic design and web design, so for the first time I'll be getting useful experience instead of just working retail. And perhaps the best part - I'll be making $6000! Sorry to gush so much about this when it's not really fashion related, but with that $6000 I'm sure you can all figure out how it is somewhat fashion related!
clarity are you really not going to roo or is that just a caption. youre such an avid poster - i would hate it if you cant join us!
Sorry. I wasn't around all weekend, so I missed this. But, sadly, I will not be at Roo this year, and it definately was not an easy decision to make. I will be at Rothbury and Allgood for sure and hopefully something this fall (maybe Echo). So hopefully I can run into all you ladies at one of those, otherwise, we'll just have to hope for next year.
ps Great dresses Pepper! I just returned a dress, so I'm allowing myself to buy one more before I cut myself off.
I'm sad that I wno't be able to meet some of our fellow Fashionable Festie Girls this year at Bonnaroo, maybe next year!!!
To those FFG that are going to be at Roo, are any of you planning on attending the Inforoo brunch?? I'd love to meet you all!!! If not, we should have a Fashionable Festie Girl meet-up. I talk about the people on this board as if I know them. I think my real-life friends are afraid I have make-believe friends when I say "but the girls on the board say..."

LoL honestly I don't know how it happened. I told her some info about my friend and then the next day she helped me set up my tent to test it out and she is like hmmm maybe I want to go to this concert, I'm like nooooooo way lol (if you knew my mom it would be an amusing site which I wouldn't want to witness lol) anyways I just kept telling her random facts about bonnaroo and I guess she saw how excited I am about it that she got more and more comfortable. Thank goodness!!
LoL I started a tie dying thread but now I can't even find it on the board so I'll ask here: what did you use to make your colors bright? Mine came out very light and faded looking
I hear you girls about never having too many clothes, I also LOVE LOVE LOVE going shopping and buying new stuff.. but unfortunately I am BROKE BROKE BROKE lol so no more shopping for me (we'll see) I need to start saving money for gas/bonnaroo spending money/and such.
Ah! BTW on my last shopping trip I went to Target and I got an Eddie Bauer hydration pack only $30 it isn't the prettiest thing in the world especially compared to the Camelbak muse I wanted but it was $50 cheaper! and I got
it's on $20 and fits amazing, and they have a lot of diff. patterns and colors!
Alessia, try making a tie dye thread again! I think a separate place to talk about adventures in tie dyeing is a great idea. I'm going to take pictures of some of my tie dye tonight, but I still have more stuff I want to do. It didn't all turn out
Also speaking of tie dye, who was it that posted pics of tie dye t-shirt skirts? Was it plasticpepper?? I've spent the last 45 minutes looking for the post and I can't find it!
Edit: JK, found it by googling. Its on page 70.

What the heck, ladies? Why not ask me about the tie-dying?
Alessia, you need to soak the fabric in soda ash for 5-10 minutes before you dye it (wring it out to where it's not dripping wet first). Soda ash is sold in the pool chemical areas of Wal-Mart, Home Depot, etc. as "PH Plus" or "PH+", or something similar. It is sodium carbonate (Na2CO3), if you want to double check the label.
And I do want to see the tie-dye creations you both have made.

i got a jacarde(sp?) kit. i soacked in soda ash for 20 mins and let the sye set for 24 hours... buttttt my darn cam isnt working and im very upset about this situation. also... i too have bought mucho clothes for roo in the last month. wet seal just had so many great tops and what not.
and another thing... i quote this board more and more everyday.

I really don't remember exactly what I did to tie-dye since I made those shirts about...eh...10 years ago? Haha...I didn't use soda ash, though. I just used some tie-dyeing kit from the wonderful AC Moore. No idea what brand or anything, so I'm not being very helpful haha.
Post by purplefuzzystuff on Apr 28, 2008 23:40:35 GMT -5
I got my kit from A.C. Moore too, it wasin a white box and it came with the soda ash and everything....it was $20 but I had a coupon, which they have like every week, so it was only $10
Then two other kits were bought for $10 each they didn't have the soda ash... and I wanted to use the soda ash for my shirts rather than the sheets because people would be wearing the shirts not the sheets......So I tye dyed my sheets without soda ash and to ensure that I got the color locked in and everything I let them sit four about 24 hours then I hung them on a laundry line until they were dry then I ironed them cause heat/sun sets colors in fabric...
Well a couple days later I soaked the shirts that were being dyed in soda ash for a couple hours dyed them and let them sit for a day or two then rinsed them in the tub....which were the actual directions I think.......They obviously came out completely different and I preferred my sheets....I don't know whether it was the soda ash or them being put out in the sun but the sheets came out alot better than the shirts, brightness wise...I want to post pictures but it'll be a week or two....or three
There are tie dye kits that are one-step and don't require soda ash. You can apply the dye right to a dry shirt or whatever. We used Tulip brand and it turned out pretty well- the dye beaded up some when first applied but I don't know if that was the dye or the material or both.
