Damn you, Stargate Universe!
I’m not a big fan of ‘shipping, and don’t tend to do it myself very often, if at all. Well, Lost did get me to ‘ship Sawyer and Juliet. But since then, I can’t think of any other show I’ve ‘shipped on. Until today, because I was getting caught up on Stargate Universe, and apparently I am hardcore ‘shipping TJ and Varro. WTF.
FOTD: Romantic English Rose (10/22/10)
I *finally* got around to watching Pixiwoo videos yesterday. Why did I wait so long?! They are adorable, and their looks are fantastic! (I especially love the 1920s and 1930s looks.) And I was particularly smitten with, and excited to try out, the Romantic English Rose look. I really love the products Sam used, but I was too lazy to run out to the mall for the higher end stuff, and stupid Target didn’t have the Pixi gloss, so I made do with drug store stuff, and I think it’s still pretty damn cute. I also got several compliments today, and also on Spirit Day, for looking especially put together. I think I just looked more…put-together, and a bit more professional than I usually do. Yeah, when I clean up, I clean up nice, get there.

FOTD: Hazelnuts & pomegranates are cool (10/21/10)
Aromaleigh’s Ciao! Italia collection is soooooooo beautiful! I’m so very happy to get to play with these colors (although I kind of want to hoard them so I never run out). I wanted to try using colors I wouldn’t normally put together, and I really, really, really liked how this turned out. (So obviously I need to be more adventurous in my color combining, but we know this.)

Makeup Zombie spoiled the shit out of me!
Not to be a snot and rub it in or anything, but holy shit, y’all! I won Makeup Zombie
Wendi’s Spooktacular Giveaway, and the prize was awesome to begin with (complete set of Hi-Fi’s Nightmare 2010 Halloween Collection samples), and then she went and threw in a sample of “Frolic” from Darling Girl, a full-sized Aromaleigh Rocks! Sonic Eyes in Funkytown, as well as samples of Aromaleigh’s Ciao! Italia collection!!! I about pissed my pants when I saw all those goodies just waiting for me. (Except I managed to control my bladder, so you don’t have to get grossed out or anything.) And I had missed out on the Ciao! Italia collection, and was kicking myself for it, so that was very serendipitous! Thank you, thank you, thank you, Wendi!
(I want you to know that I climbed up on a wobbly chair to get that picture, so I have risked a busted ass in addition to a urinary disaster in order to report on this to you.)

FOTD: Irish in the Buff and my camera is being a little bitch (10/19/10)
My camera is being a little bitch and doing this thing where it utterly refuses to take a close-up of both my eyes if my face is straight-on. So then I get this sweet effect where it looks like my left eye is a bit smaller than my right eye. I mean, one of my eyes *is* smaller than the other one, but I don’t know that it’s my left one, and even if it is, not *that* much. Whatever. I think my camera’s just pissy because we’ve finally decided to get a new one. Fuck it. I managed to get one photo that wasn’t skewed too badly, but I was so irritated that I’ve got my eyebrows raised in it – not a big deal, but it bothers my anal retentiveness.

FOTD: GODDAMMIT (10/17/10)
BALLS.
So, we visited Greg’s mom Sunday (she is awesome), and I wanted to wear makeup, but nothing too loud, and I ended up really liking what I used. But apparently my dumb ass didn’t take pictures of it.
I’m still going to list what I used, though, in case I ever feel un-lazy enough to recreate it and photograph it.
-L’Oreal Studio Secrets Professional Magic Perfecting Base
-Fyrinnae Fluff (holy shit, this stuff is every bit as awesome as Principessa Grassa said! so happy I got it!)
-Concrete Minerals Electric Eye Primer
-Aromaleigh Lost in Faerie eyeshadow in Ellette (lid)
-Aromaleigh Lost in Faerie eyeshadow in Loxy (crease)
-Urban Decay 24/7 Glide-On Eye Pencil in Gunmetal
-Nyx Doll Eye Long Lash #DE01 Extreme Black
-e.l.f. Luscious Liquid Lipstick in Baby Lips (kind of hate that name, but love the color)

God. DAMN.
I don’t know if I’ve really admitted it on here, in a way that made the full extent of this interest clear, but I am kind of really, really into celebrity gossip. Yeah. It’s one of my guilty pleasures. I know it’s pretty ridiculous; there’s wars going on and, you know, *actual important shit*, and celeb gossip is just inane, but there it is.
My favorite gossip blog by far is Dlisted, and today I finally succumbed and watched Willow Smith’s “Whip My Hair” video. You can watch it here, but if you value your longevity, I seriously suggest that you don’t. Four minutes and eight seconds later, and a decade’s been taken off my life. I don’t even know where to *begin*, there’s so much wrong about this, on different levels. Nine-year-olds singing about – and quite possibly actually, in real life – dancing in clubs? Nine-year-olds driving? Underage girls gyrating like Tawny Kitaen and dry-humping the floor? The super-obnoxious repetition of that screeched “I whip my hair back and forth”? The fact that the singer is nine, and therefore her voice will almost certainly change as she ages? I mean, it’s not a bad voice, but it’s a kid’s voice, so I don’t know that this song (or any others on her first album) will be in her repertoire very long. The fact that I don’t even know how this could possibly be performed live, although maybe there’s no plan to ever have her perform live, but then what’s the point of being a musician, but that’s just my opinion? And this is just the tip of the wrongness iceberg. I’m not all dislike, though: I do like the underlying sentiment, which seems to be “Fuck the haters, ladies, don’t let them get you down”; and I certainly have to give Willow Smith mad props for carving out a music career at the tender age of nine, and getting signed and having a video (although that might have something to do with her family connections, but whatevs). I wouldn’t let *my* kid do this, but then I’m never having kids, so I kind of feel like, “Get it, girl.” If she can convince people to get into this, then why the fuck not, and kudos to her.
But I really should have known better than to watch it. It’s my own fault my life’s been shortened, but just…damn.
Fuck yes!
My Barbie head theremin arrived today! So excited!
(Totally used the wrong setting on my camera, so it’s a bit blurry, but whatever. I’ve got a cold or some shit whooping my ass, so I can’t be buggered to fix it. Just going to eat dinner, take some cold medicine, and get in bed.)
