Other

Skirt lining
- Extra effort and time
- Will add weight and warmth to an already-warm garment
Tights or thigh-highs?
- I like thigh-highs, even without the zettai'
Brown penny loafers
- http://www.shoebuy.com/orthofeet-818/378864/807417 (better)
  - sizing is US, measurements suggest 12-W
  - ordered, order number 27352647
  - 114.95 USD + 33 shipping
  - received, they're great
- Alternative considered: http://www.shoebuy.com/sebago-plaza/184702/413781
Blue neck ribbon
- Found small hairclip ribbon at Paddies Markets for $8, a little small, but could work well enough
Wig styling
Mole on left cheek
- 3arts make-up centre - http://www.makeupeffectscollege.com/shop01.html
  - A pencil will do the job nicely, picked up a Ben Nye "Espresso" EP-85 eye-liner
Red contact lenses
- Visiting optometrist to get prescription
  - -0.75 left, -1.25 right
- Currently on trial pairs, awaiting follow-up consultation
- Find somewhere to order online, use animania forums for advice
  - No recent updates, nor any solid recommendations for something like this: http://forum.animania.net.au/index.php/topic,2543.330.html
  - Will just ask at OPSM, expect to pay maybe $60 for a pair of long-term lenses
- No problems during trial, settled on -1.00 left, -1.25 right
- Extreme-special contacts lenses are more difficult than anticipated
  - Coopervision have apparently discontinued their line of special lenses, so it comes down to finding stock in the supply chain, possibly overseas
  - Marietta Vision have some suitable things
  - This place appears to sell them, and you can get them in prescription too
    - This is gonna be cutting it really close to arrive in time... sounds like they're actually in the US. Fedex is quoted as taking 2-4 days, I reckon it'll probably be too late
  - Having a backup plan is also a good idea; these only come in plano (non-corrective) though
    - Ordered, 95% confident of arrival in time
