    My opinion on disability in the context of covid from France: 1. I have not been at work since October, which is nice because it protects me but abandoned aside is also the feeling. 2. whenever I come back, my adaptations will no longer be available because of covid 3. despite being on immunosuppressants, I'm too young to have access to vaccination, abandoned as if no one cared?

    Thank you very much for creating this vlog (indeed all of your vlogs, for I find them simply splendid). The green wig is indeed very Marvel - Polaris springs to mind, with that colour. It also reminds me of a mint sorbet I once had in Rome, but that's by the by. I had completely forgotten about that Richard Armitage show, which might have been a blessing in disguise. I hope that you have as marvellous a week as possible.

    I own 15 synthetic wigs and they are my best friends lol synthetic wigs are better than human hair cause other than washing them they take no care at all and the caps are not as hot I think as I’ve gotten older the shorter styles suit me better. I have learned to find a wig shop nearby and trying them on first is best also they will usually cut them (bangs) for free if you purchase them good luck with your journey

    I love the wigs as fashion statements. The pale purple one is my favourite with the pink coming in a very close second. Pastels suite you quite well.
    If you have the blonde one still laying around, would you consider following one of Jaymes Mansfield's wig tutorials? It would really only be worth doing if you could find a use for a very over the top wig look but it could be a lot of fun.

    Completly random question, but now i'm curious. Do writing sizes vary in different countries? As you showed the writing size, and said that it's very small, i found it pretty average, for books in german.
    I noticed that the size in 'The Beginning of the World in the Middle of the Night' looked rather "large", but never thought, if it was due to it being english? 🤔

    • @jenvcampbell
      @jenvcampbell  3 роки тому +1

      It depends on whether or not it’s a mass-market paperback (smaller format, smaller font), a trade paperback (larger format, larger font), or other different formats. Size varies a lot in the UK. Smaller fonts are most common in classics where they are trying to cut back on costs (ie paper) and perhaps also to make larger classics look less intimidating by being shorter 😂

    The blond wig may be just a bit too long and glamorous (and serious). Couldn't you make it into kind of a 'Blondie' haircut, a bit like what you have now, with a blunt bob and and (shorter) bangs? I think if it were a bit edgier, it would look awesome on you. Lola is so cute.
    Edit: of course I did not mean to say that you should wear it if you don't feel good in it. But since you invested in it already, you might make it work for you if the mood strikes you. ;)
