Modern vamp gothic makeup tutorial

This tutorial is from MissChievous. I've been watching a lot of her tutorials and I really enjoy them. She does a variety of looks and is great at explaining what she is doing, and she's very creative. She also uses a variety of products and not all of them are terribly expensive - one of her palettes was acquired from ebay for around $20 plus shipping. With some of the tutorials, the artists use products that may be out of your budget, unless you can afford to pay $50 for, say, a mascara. I've chosen this gothic vampy look for today because it's a nice look and doesn't necessarily have to be just for going out, in my opinion.

LADY GAGA INVENTED OXYGEN!?

He does have a very valid point.

Mmkay, about this Xtina Bullshiz...

Here's the new Xtina video everyone is freaking out about. They're saying she's copying Lady Gaga. If they're not saying that, they're saying she's copying Madonna. I don't really give a shit. I just wanna know who has worn a ball gag in a pop video before. I don't remember either Lady Gaga or Madonna doing that. Not that I think that is groundbreaking or cool or anything. Just that no one has mentioned that and it's Friday and I needed something to post and everyone is yammering on about this shit and I figured I might as well join the crowd and yammer on too and I wanted to say something I hadn't heard anyone else say yet. So I chose BALL GAG. Also, I like the red glitter lips. Those are cool. Though she hardly moves her mouth so they must have been a bitch to do and probably don't last very long/aren't practical for you and me to try to attempt at home. It's probably industrial strength glitter that will kill you or something. Or special "don't cough during my interview you peon" glitter made just for her. Anyway, here's the fucking video.

Kingsley Makes Life Better

Sometimes life is just not going your way. It's like this a lot for me, I'll be honest. And what always helps me is to watch one of Kingsley's videos. Cause he says what I can't say, even if I wasn't even gonna say it. This is his latest video, where he cares so much he is making the video SITTING IN THE CAR. That is dedication to his craft. How many people do you know who are taking time out of their parking lot waiting to make a video to tell you what pisses them off? Yeah, I thought so. Sit back and relax for approximately two or so minutes. Let the warmth of Kingsley wash over you.

Funny Bitch Is Funny

He rules, he just rules.

No, I'm not ITCHY

Well, the woman behind the counter at Walgreen's looked at me strangely, and now she thinks that I am ITCHY. DOWN THERE. Because I bought a tube of Monistat Non-Itching Cream. But I did not buy it for that reason. I swear.

Actually, the reason I bought it was, I have found out through You Tube Makeup Tutorials, of which there are THOUSANDS, that this stuff, if you put it on your FACE instead (yeah, uh, keep a separate tube if you're gonna use it for what it's intended for, because, EW), makes an excellent foundation primer. Sure, you can spend $15 to $30 or MORE for foundation primer, which I don't have, or you can spend $5, which I shouldn't have spent anyway, cause that is cat food money, man, but I had to live a little.

Yeah, this is my life. Buying a tube of anti-itch crotch cream is my idea of living a little. Sad, right?

But between this and Preparation H for swollen bags under your eyes, the bottom part of you does a good job of fixing the top part of you. Sometimes. Wait. Where am I going with this?

Anyway. I got a $2 off coupon for next time. Which the gal at Walgreen's handed me with AN EXTRA SOUR FACE. Like she was thinking YOU KNOW YOUR NASTY ASS CROTCH IS STILL GONNA BE ITCHY YOU NASTY ASS.

My Sphinx is a Jinx

Isn't it hard
when it finally hits
that your lover
is less than a friend?

And all your exchanges
are just poor counterfeits
for tender too precious
to spend?


- Sphinx, Syd Straw

So the new ADD medicine makes me tired. Which is weird because it is basically, like, SPEED. My brain is apparently a chemical anomaly. And my pharmacist thinks I am a space alien, because I asked her, is this medicine supposed to make me tired? She gave me the strangest look, and said, Um, NO, it's actually supposed to have the opposite effect. But anyway, I'm supposed to give it about ten days and see if the effect is still the same. She said it could be "paradoxical side effects", which is exactly what it sounds like. Side effects that are the opposite of what is supposed to happen.

Ah, yes. Better living through chemistry.
