   * 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
   * [[http://www.mariettacontactlens.com/Theatrical_Stock.cfm| Marietta Vision]] have some suitable things
   * [[http://www.clearlycontacts.com.au/special-effects-lenses/cSpecialEffects-p1.html| 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 [[http://www.pimpmyeyes.com.au/index.php?_a=viewProd&productId=27&review=write| backup plan]] is also a good idea; these only come in plano (non-corrective) though
    * Ordered, 95% confident of arrival in time
