Complete the Look
Create a hair bow on the top of your head - Gather hair in high ponytail. Loop hair through elastic, with about 6 inches of hair sticking out toward face. Divide bun into two equal parts, pull loose ends over the divide and pin in the back. Hold with hairspray.
Add to creepy factor by adding faux plastic joints. Draw circles around the knees of nude stockings with a black sharpie.
