The part that I'm getting myself anxious over is that I'd also need to body-paint my face/neck (probably grey) and temporarily dye my hair black. (I'm not wearing a wig. My hair is thick and wigs are my mortal enemy.) I've never done body paint or hair dye before, and I'm nervous about those aspects making this into a trainwreck. Does anyone have any good recommendations for that kind of stuff?
I dye my hair if I have the time to before going to a con, did it back in October, didn't have time to in May, my advice would be to get it done at a hairdresser's, it will cost more than doing it yourself, but at least you're far less likely for it to go tits up
