			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>There&#8217;s a new hair salon in town, and it&#8217;s rather special. <a href="http://wildilocks.com/">Wildilocks</a> is from Australia originally, but now <a href="http://wildilocks.com/node/71">they&#8217;ve opened up a branch at 225 Cuba Street</a> (where Eyeball Kicks used to be &#8211; don&#8217;t worry, Eyeball Kicks is still around). As well as being a salon, Wildilocks also sells clothes, accessories and hair products. As you can see from the listings on their <a href="http://www.wildilocks.com/webstore/">webstore</a>, they&#8217;ve got a particular focus on the gothy-ravey-steam punky aesthetic, so if you&#8217;re after oversize goggles or Special FX hair dye, this is the place you want to go.</p>
<p>I&#8217;m particularly intrigued by their pricing structure &#8211; you pay per hour (billed in quarter hour increments), with stylists ranging from $55 to $85, depending on their expertise. Another awesome service they offer? Vintage hair dos! I was lucky enough to get to model for them as Dom and Charlotte were trained by Kat from Australia, and the Victory Rolls I got were seriously awesome. Photos are after the jump.</p>

Luckily they fixed it for me.</p></div>

There were 50 pins in it.</p></div>
<p>I wish I could tell you exactly how it was all done, and that I had some proper photos of the back of my hair to show you because they were seriously amazing, but alas, those photos are on other people&#8217;s cameras. I&#8217;ll update once I find them though!</p>
<p>If you&#8217;re going somewhere special and need an amazing hairdo, or just even a regular cut, I definitely recommend Wildilocks. I&#8217;ll be going back, just as soon as funds allow it.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Remember how <a href="http://prettyprettypretty.com/2009/11/01/costume-pics-please/">I went to a Pride &amp; Prejudice &amp; Zombies ball at Halloween</a>? The wonderful <a href="http://thewellingtonhistoricalcostumesociety.blogspot.com/">Wellington Historical Costume Society</a> who organised that are throwing another ball this Saturday the 10th, called <a href="http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=356871816399">Have Tardis, Will Travel</a>, and you should come along!</p>
<blockquote><p>The boundaries of time and relative dimensions in space are open for the next WHCS event, a Dr Who themed time-travelling ball: Have Tardis Will Travel.</p>
<p>Bid farewell to the current Dr Who, dance, eat delicious treats and generally have lots and lots of fun</p>
<p>Saturday, April 10, 2010<br />
St Michael&#8217;s Church Hall, Upland Road, Kelburn<br />
6.30 &#8211; late</p>
<p>Attire: Dress in clothing from any of the different eras that Dr Who has visited or as a Dr Who character. Steampunk attire is also appropriate.</p></blockquote>
<p>For those of you who, like me, are not really that familiar with where and when the Doctor has visited, they&#8217;ve made a list of eras for inspiration as well:</p>
<ul>
<li>Ancient Pompeii,</li>
<li>18th century aristocratic France (The Girl in the Fireplace)</li>
<li>1745 Scotland (The Highlander)</li>
<li>Mid-Victorian England</li>
<li>1920s UK (Black Orchid)</li>
<li>Steampunk (Voyage of the Damned)</li>
</ul>
<p>This still doesn&#8217;t mean that I have any idea what I&#8217;m going to wear though! Help! Keep in mind that I&#8217;m poor, I&#8217;m fat, and there will be a lot of dancing. Will you come to the ball? I&#8217;ll save a space on my dance card for you!</p>
