Girls: What beauty tips do you give to other girls for Competions?

[Elyse Holguin]

::shudders at the thought of our cursed fisher-price motor, and the robodawg's fisherprice motor that was ripped apart in semifinals (they got it changed before the finals)::

the fisher price motors supply enough light orangy yellow grease. trust me.

as for the beaded necklaces, they were cute, but i didn't wear them, even those get in the way when you're in the pits, the human players were wwearing them, but they gave them to me during our matches, and i ended up making another teammate hold them. they were a very cute idea, but not practical. same goes for those leis. the only thing i wore were a pair of screwback earrings that i can't ever take off, and they're studs so they don't exactly get in the way, and two rings, but i think i'm leaving one of those at home for nats for fear of death if it gets damaged or lost!

but the duct tape.... we cover part of our team shirts with either duct tape or a button... the school city's administration put something onto our shirts without notifying us and we REALLY dislike it, enough so that the engineers and parents designed and ordered their own shirts. (if you really wanna know i'll show you it @ nats)
