Yes, we can... Yes, we did!
Thank you for the tags. I'm too lazy to do it, but thanks. lol.
Pin Up!
So eBeautyBlog is hosting a Pin Up contest. I'm participating. I thought it'd be a good way to show my could-have-been Halloween costume if it had been less revealing. Two birds, one stone.
My makeup inspiration is actually Gretchen Mol who portrays Bettie Page in The Notorious Bettie Page.
My eyebrows aren't dark enough though. I refuse to draw caterpillars on my face!
Halloween
My holiday weekend was pretty chill. I've officially quit smoking even though I'm not exactly a chain smoker. I must say, I feel for smokers now. It is incredibly irritating to be told to stop every time you light up. I can understand why smokers hang out with each other.
Halloween night, I just clipped a pair of plastic devil's horns barrettes in my hair and slipped into a skin tight black dress. Didn't go all out, didn't care.
And the tired morning after. I was dragged out of bed at 8 in the morning. I can't believe it!
Overrated chicken wangs.
A little side rant about Louis Vuitton: SO had been trying for days to get me an LE bandana on their website, but his account was flagged because he was stupid and entered the wrong information. I tried with my own credit card, but the same problem occurred. Their customer service reps, despite several calls and several different reps, were unable to help. I know it's just a $200 purchase, but they should be bending over backwards for me. I've made pricey purchases with them in the past and am appalled with how little they care for my business. So LV is officially blacklisted and I'll never shop with them again. Go ahead, buy the fakes!
Not wanting to come away from this empty-handed, SO took me to Chanel and got me the Swarovski crystal earrings every label whore should have:
Very blingy, very label-y. If the stones ever fall out (and they probably will) I can sleep soundly knowing Chanel will replace or repair it.
Now if only I can get my grubby little hands on a pack of these:
Today's finally the day! I hope you've all voted your asses off! Actually, as someone told me the other day... Some people shouldn't be allowed to vote. But if you did, I hope you took advantage of the freebies businesses were handing out. Perhaps the best one I've seen so far is Babeland's sex toy giveaway to those in New York and Seattle. If we get a dud, you can vibe your sorrows away.
Q&A
i so want one, but im scared it gna die on me are they easy to take care of?
- Vanessa Martinez
Hamsters are pretty darn easy to care for. You just have to make sure to change their bedding once a week (only use aspen bedding, not pine), keep their food and water filled, and give em some toys to play with. Very low maintenance kind of pets.
And yay, your hair's growing out Are you going to keep it long?
- b|u3
Yes! I'm trying my best to refrain from chopping all my hair off again. To be honest, it's kinda fried from all the playing around I've done with it.
Wow's next? Mao Zedong?
-Angie519
Why yes. Chairman Meow is next on the list. I need to find a fitting kitty for that. A big, fat cat!
and why aren't you on twitter? :P
- Etherealprey
What is this Twitter you speak of? No, really. I've never used Twitter. O_O
I love your hair color too, is that natural?
- Tao
I've answered this on your blog, but I'll answer it again... Nope! This color is the result of a lot of abuse. :p
Because a lot of people have commented on my drinking: Yes, 7-8 shots and I'm good. I'd be a pretty expensive date... XD My hamster is probably a Russian Dwarf; hence, my choice of the name.
About everything actually -- airbrushed photos, getting surgery, plagiarism, not updating regularly, her writing, her blogs etc. Oh dear, theres tons of issues going on around there! What's your opinion and what can u advice to a fellow blogger?
- Rain
I've never seen anything wrong with most of the above: Airbrushing, plastic surgery, and not updating my blog just because someone else wants me to.
I take academic writing seriously, so plagiarism gets a bad mark in my book. You could argue that there's no such thing as an original idea and it's likely someone else would also have formed the same ideas; HOWEVER, there's a difference between agreeing with another writer and completely ripping off their work. It's less likely that one blogger would write in the same style and format as another, so don't give me that bullshit. Writing is an underappreciated skill and not many have the finesse and creativity to do it well. There's no excuse for stealing intellectual property just because you're a dumbass.
Advice? All I can say is to be honest to your readers with regard to things you're comfortable with sharing. Otherwise, don't share. Electronic footprints, baby. I see nothing wrong with photoshopping or plastic surgery. Everyone knows how to photoshop and surgery is a personal choice (so quit bugging people with questions about it when it's obvious they don't want to answer). A blogger is nothing without her readers, but at the same time we don't owe you folks anything, so be realistic with your expectations. Most of us aren't paid bloggers like Perez Hilton and are only motivated to blog by the sheer lack of anything else to do.
I'll be posting my review on the Body Shop mineral foundation, shadow, and blush next.
