ok...i have never been "cute" for competitions..usually the guys take longer to get ready than i do!! if you aren't a morning person (like me) i'd say take your shower at night..get up about 15 minutes before you have to meet the rest of your team...wash your face, brush your teeth, put deodorant on, get dressed (in the clothes you laid out the night before), slap your hair up in a pony tail and you're ready to go!
you're most likely going to get dirty anyway..so who cares??

Question what's wrong with looking feminine?

hey, what's wrong with looking a little girly? just because we're on pit crew, doesn't mean we have to look all messy.

during competitions, i wear makeup, doesn't mean i take 3 hours on it. makeup's made for speed nowadays anyway. bit of the powder /concealer in one, tinted lipgloss, blush, use blush as eyeshadow. (unless you wanna spend 30 seconds more opening and applying eyeshadow too) takes less than 5 minutes, and you look nice the whole day. (although some teammates in the past would take forever ) as for hair, yeah, ponytail or half ponytail, unless your roomate wakes up up 2 hours before dawn to get breakfast at the bob evan's across the street and you have like, an hour to spend... than you can curl your hair.

before any of that though, brush teeth, deoderant, make sure clothes are on right. is that really that hard??

Nail Polish remover is very harsh on the skin and did I mention that it's on her face?
So I assume you got the marker off by now??? What worked?? Just for future reference that is... lol

Must of it was taken off with nail polish remover as alot of it was on her hands and face. I don't know how the stuff on her face was taken off since I just told her all the ideas you guys gave me and she might have used all of them

Fortunately I'm not in to the "girly" stuff. So I'm not really worried about "beauty tips." It's like: Eyeliner, hair isn't messy, eyebrows aren't messy, nothing in your teeth...yeah

Nuh uh! I had 3 tattoos on my face 2 days in a row and they never got smeared. They just sort of faded away...

Eck. Beauty. Who cares? Batbot is pretty for us =P The only thing even remotely beauty related I can think of is my choker....the choker is made out of computer cable, crimped at both ends with a male and female connector (how it stays on) and the pendant on it is a slice of aluminum extrusion that's attached to the cable by copper wire...

Doubles as a weapon!

FIRST Girls

I don't know about any other guys, but i'm the kind to find a girl more attractive covered in grease/paint/saw dust/metal shavings etc. ... hey, call me a geek, but whatever...

It just means to me that she has substance to her... more than just standing around and being a conversation piece, she's a get up and go type, and that's just really sexy.

so you go girls, don't worry about to much at competition... t-shirt, shower, deodorant, probably good enough....

If you only had any idea how reassuring this is.
(p.s. - no pants, eh? )

To tell the truth, the girls that sometimes try the hardest to look like this are the ones that really aren't involved with the robot enough to look like that normally.

But it's FIRST boys like you that reassure us grungy girls.

OK so I forgot the pants....

along those lines and considering safety, girls especially need to not wear sandals or other open toed shoes to competition. It would really really be bad to drop a robot on your foot if you had sandals on... so please ladies, save those for the beach and wear sneakers or something like that...

additionally, long pants... you have no idea how many times i've slipped a drill bit and hit my legs... only to be saved from a nice gash by a pair of jeans....

other safety related clothing considerations.... short sleeves, so as not to be caught up in moving parts... glasses ( the impact proof kind... ) Smith and Wesson makes some very stylish safety glasses...

just my $0.02

Unless you don't know what you are doing and end up like I did last year.

If you want help with glue hairstyles, I think Josh here would be the one to ask.
