It was time again for the Des Moines Art Center's bi-annual Big Hair Ball. This time around the theme was "Glam Revolution." The glitter was everywhere! The doors were guarded by ladies with painted on fishnets and brightly colored toy guns. Inside Techno music pounded while drinks and hors d'oeurves awaited. In addition to the usual hairstylists on hand (ready to make your hair big for you), there was also face painting and (faux) tattoos. They had actual tattoo artists from Iron Heart Tatoo doing the inking, so you ended up with a gorgeous, intricate design on your arm, leg, etc. I got an angel on my calf (see below).
The main event was a runway show featuring different hair designs/sculptures from various local salons. Each salon had their own theme such as "Revolution around the world" and "Charmed Revolt." Atelier Hairspace's "Inner Beauty Revolution" also featured fashions from Smash. This year burlesque dancers entertained between runways instead of drag queens.
