    do the socks have seperations for the wooden flipflops? how long did it take to get painted and dressed up like that? is that your own hair??

    Hi Phoebe,

    Yeah, the socks have a separation between the big toe and the rest, so the shoes are actually quite comfortable. It took about an hour to get all dressed up. The girls who did it are set up so they can get someone dressed up really fast. The makeup was fun because they used a paintbrush to put the white all over the face. The hair isn’t my own though. In some ways I’ve turned a bit Japanese maybe, but my hair hasn’t turned black yet! It was a big heavy wig that they put on my head.

    I can show you some more picture when I get home!
