Avatar FOTD

So i went to see Avatar (i did like it, but everyone was right, it basically is Disney's Pocahontas in space) and decided to do blue lips in honour of the nice blue kitties. As you can see i just kept the rest of my face very neutral.
The lips are Illamasqua medium pencil in Debonnair and Illamasqua intense lipgloss in Gender. On my eyes i used Mac Eyeshadows in Gesso, Vex and some brown that i don't know the name of.

Today i was looking on etsy at all of the many, many mineral makeup sellers. I found a couple of exciting looking new stores, but i got really depressed by how many sets of TKBs 'pop' colours i found just under different names, or with a base mixed in, lots of the stores also sold some really pretty looking shades that i liked, but how can i trust they're not repackaged too?

I did a huge amount of swatching today, lots on the lips. Sadly i had a spot near my mouth the other day and now a red mark is left, so every photo has it marring my immense beautoy XD I should have concealer-ed it, but i was too lazy.

Now i am watching Top Gun. It is even gayer than i remembered.

Just before bed i wanted to apologise for my terrible slackness at replying to comments. I do make the effort to reply to nearly every single one, but usually it takes me forever :( I read them immediately, but because i'm useless at keeping up with blogs i'm following, and because if 'm making a post i give that priority it always seems to take me a while to get round to replying. I'm really sorry. So please, if you leave me a comment check back on the entry after a while, and unless i am being even crapper than usual, i will have got back to you :)

Poorly

Sorry if you've left me a comment or email in the last few days, i've been ill.
Nothing serious i'm glad to say, but my whole head aches, i've got a red raw throat and a cold and oddly i am tired all the time, even though i've probably had about 30 hours sleep in the last 2 days. Yesterday i stayed in bed up until about 5 o clock, then i went to see Sex and Drugs and Rock and Roll, which was fabulous. Then i went back to bed straight afterwards.
Sex and Drugs and Rock and Roll is a biopic of Ian Dury, who used to be one of my favourite singers when i was a 15 year old punk. It was a deeply emotional film and Andy Serkis was absolutely amazing as Ian. They also did an amazing job on his prosthetic or cgi wonky leg.
Also as i was poorly i wore sort-of trousers for the first time in about 8 years, doing up the fly made me feel so masculine, and then i put on my big stompy dr martens as i've been wearing them a lot during the snow. All this combined has made me really reminiscent of my old punky looks and i sort of want to return to it occaisionally, but it's difficult because i like being so feminine these days. I sort of want to bring that raw, grungey sexuality of the punk look to my fashion, but still in a girly way. No trousers, that's for sure. I do miss my mohawk though :P

updated repost from my old blog

The British Book-Store Chain Books Etc has gone bust, which is sad, but in a way i'm pleased because there is a small second-hand bookshop near me which is still going strong, and that makes me happy.
Anyway i picked up some things from the local Books Etc's closing down sale:



So i got the best of Jackie, a book of prints from the Day of the dead (i love Day of the Dead stuff, my dad's been to mexico on the day and it sounds amazing, I am very envious) and a book that is basically 'the big book of serial killers'.
Yes i am one of those people who really likes reading/watching/learning about serial killers. But then i like reading/watching/learning about most things.

I'm watching Jeepers Creepers 2, which is one of the gayest films i've seen in a long, long time. I don't mean gay in the new sense (as in a synonym for crap) i mean literally gay. It's incredibly homoerotic. The beginning 3/4 of an hour of the film basically involves a bus full of shirtless, oiled up high school boys running around a cornfield, peeing in large groups and alluding to one and others sexuality. There are only 4 female characters (in a cast of about 25) and they are basically given no character, only get tiny bits of dialogue and are so completely inconsequential i can only imagine they are there to stop the whole thing looking like a gay porn (which doesn't really work)

Aah i love trash.

My poor Guinea-pig Lettice has got a dodgy eye :( we took her to the vet and hopefully it's ust an infection, but she still might lose it. It only happened two days ago, one minute she was fine, the next her eye was red and cloudy and sad. Poor girl.

Update:
poor Lettice died a few days after i wrote this. We don't know what happened, it was really sad. Lettice was such a lovely spirited piggy and now the other two are all sad and the cage seems so much more quiet :( RIP Lettice.
