For my followers who like darker music...

...like cutting edge alternative dance mix, featuring the best industrial, goth, darkwave, EBM and synthpop, check out this website: http://www.sanctuaryradio.com/forums/home.php

I have been addicted to it lately! You can make a request simply by selecting what you like from what is listed and click. It's very easy and convenient. They have a main channel (what I listen to) and a retro channel (80's type stuff).

It doesn't cost anything to listen or sign up. However, they do appreciate donations which go toward bills and equipment that keep the stations alive.

They also have a shoutbox where you can chat with other folks who listen to and run the stations. You will see my comments on there from time to time. :-)

I'm slowly getting over my cold. I at least can breath much better today. Which is nice!

Hope everyone has an awesome weekend!

Need some help please!

Today is my Birfday and I'm still really sick! Bleh. I'm coughing up gross stuff. *barf*
So what I need help with is I came up with a Creepy Carnival theme, for me and my friends to dress up when we go out dancing. I just have no idea what to do. So I'm going to list a few things and let you all suggest what you want to see me wear. :-) Just remember even basic carnival/circus characters will be made more creepy like. This should be interesting...

Ring Leader/Master
Lion Tamer
Bearded Lady
Creepy Clown
Gypsy Fortune Teller
Half man half woman
Siamese Twins
Two headed woman
Werewolf lady
Lobster girl

So this theme is obviously more towards the Freak Show Carnival thing than a typical family circus. I can't make myself shorter or taller so there are some things I obviously can't do. My friend Jennifer and I were saying we could be bearded lady Siamese twins! My friend Jeff then added we should wear school girl outfits too. OMG who wants to see school girls wearing full beards?! That will make the pervs at the club leave me alone! Ha!

If you have any suggestions that I haven't listed, feel free to let me know! Your input is really appreciated.

I'm going to get back to resting before I die.

Um...yeah...this sucks...

So it turns out that I am sick. I feel like total crap and am having a hard time focusing on anything. When your job depends on creativity, it's really hard to work when you don't feel well. So I could only imagine that if I attempted to put makeup on, it would look like a 4 year old put makeup on a zombie. *cringe*
I've been up since 7 and have managed to get nothing done. Yay! Not...
I'm already behind on reading/commenting on your blogs. I'm getting behind on work as well. So I think I won't post any looks for a while until I feel better and am caught up on many things.
I will get back to posting looks soon. Please keep your fingers crossed that I will be well by my birthday!
I hope you all are doing great.

Pink, Purple and Teal look using Aromaleigh and GLITTER!

It has been snowing a lot today. It's so beautiful out. We went for a walk around the lakes near where I live. It normally has a gorgeous view of the Rocky Mountains, but it was snowing so much they weren't visible at all. Was still a nice walk. Here's what I'm wearing today. This is probably the smallest winged eyeliner I've ever done. Hee hee.

So far I'm really liking the SPF50 powder. :-) It matches my skin tone better than anything I've used in a while. I will give a more detailed review in a couple weeks.

1920's Masquerade Silver Smokey Look of the night!

The night started out a little weird. I was tired and not feeling like going out too much but went out anyway. We find that those are the times you need to get out the most. For the theme, I came up with a flapper outfit, wore a fingerwave wig (people thought it was my real hair!) and made a mask to wear. The wig didn't come looking like that. I had to mess with it a bit and made a cute spit curl on the front because I LOVE them. I'm also wearing Aromaleigh Drama Queen Liner in Silver, all around my eyes.
BEWARE THERE ARE TONS OF PICTURES!
 
Oh yes, I put false lashes on it!

 
  
  
I took the pics of me above in my bathroom that has red lighting...so there is redness obviously
  
Me farting around with photoshop. Wanted to make it look like it was actually from the 20's. :-)

Me in my hallway. There are some star lanterns hanging against the wall behind me. Jas took pictures not even trying to make sure they were outta the pic...so I looked like a I had a star sticking out of my head. I had to crop it out!

Holy crap it was a fun night! I only slept about 5 hours last night. I know I should be in bed right now but I have a really hard time sleeping in, even on the weekends. I'm a weirdo morning and night person. If I never had to sleep, I wouldn't.

What did you do Friday night?
