I didn't even know what day it was....

due to my lack of sleep....confusion as to what day it was dropped on me like a 2 ton truck...
every night I've fallen asleep with lights still on and still in my clothes....that's what early morning call times will do to you...and late night shopping trips for the next morning.....
oh sweet production....I miss the whole crew of actors and production people...I made some great new friends...and I really miss not having to cook or clean up meals...Hot food served up at all appropriate meal times...and someone else cleans it all up! HEAVEN!

Here;s some pictures from all the fun to be had on set....shot near Squaw Valley, California... (the Olypics were held there many a year ago)....I miss everyone...and I miss running up and down the snowy mountains all day fom set to the trailer....and my snowmobile rides, and I miss all my new pals....here's me "pulling" a broken arrow out of Sandy Danto's chest (he does the best Chris Farley impersonation ever...he's really a stand-up comic-actor)..and everyone was yelling for me not to step on his Squibb (a bloody packet that explodes to look like a gun shot him)...ha ha ha

me and actress Monej Cruz....and Timothy V Murphy...one of the "bad guys"...he was the bad guy in National TReasure 2....I just that recently toome helping Special Effects Make-Up Master, Thom Suprenant, hook up the tubing and blood pump for the stabbing scenecowboy have to eat too...and wearing period piece sunglasses too!

I've gone over my allowed amount of photos...ha ha ha ha...i've make a sequel tomorrow!

back in black.....or pink

today is the first day I've logged onto my computer in a week!!! oh sweet keyboard tapping....
I'll post some cool pictures from the set and some rad products that I have become quite smitten with.....
and i;ll be back like arnold.....

It's a Shirt Attack!

SO, this may be the last of the shirt-lessons, for now! (I 've got more ideas)

2 NEW Hair Do's - pin-up and funky twist

GET YOUR HOT NEW HAIR-DIDS!

so I found something really cool I want to share and tell:

this is by TIGI...it's the DRY SHAMPOO from the ROCKAHOLIC collection...and this stuff is so great!!!

WHY?

if you don't want to wash your hair every single day...just spray this at the roots....AND HOORAY....it smells good and absorbs all the oil...leaving you with texture and volume..

because you know hair looks the best when it's a day dirty...

so on with the show...starring yours truly...one beauty school graduate...with a masters degree in teasing (teasing hair)! ha ha ha ha

what you need:

bobby pins - rubber band- hair spray (i used PAul Mitchel WOrked-Up working spray) and a creme styler (I used SEbastien's Crema Styler)

3-2-1.....

Style: T-shirt Cutting How To (halter top)

make-up brushes down everyone....ha ha ha
scissors and shirts up...well not that way...ha ha ha ha

get your fav old t-shirt, a pair of sharper-than-the-average-scissor-fabric cutters.....and we're ready to rock n' roll......

and here's a bonus picture of your truly.....I call it.."this is how I blog, this is how i blog".....and in the morning...and with no make-up, and crazy mornin' hair.....

Cheerleading Championship Make-Up

this is an emergency request:

Joanna and her college cheerleading team need a look for the championships....so here is a fast, easy, and cheap look for competition and/or stage make-up...

which looks weird for everyday, but fun for show and the distance from the stage to the people who are far away in the audience....

the teams colors are red, white and blue...so here it is

and here's what colors


I used:

FACE: L'Oreal True Match Foundation in w4 Natural Beige

and Laura Mercier SEcret Camoflague Duo in S5

EYES:....golds (I used goldmine from MAC and kitten from Stila)

a steel-blue like (Knight Divine from MAC) or covergirl makes a great steel-grey-blue

black shadow....any brand (i used Carbon from MAC)

medium chocolate brown (i used Espresso from MAC) you can use it to shade crease and for eyebrows

FAKE LASHES: duo glue and ardell lashes..you can use 2 sets..one long one....and then a shorter fuller set on top..like the DEMI WISPIES

CHEEKS: a hot pink blush any brand (or use a cheap hot pink eyeshadow as blush!)

LIPS: red lipstick (NYC makes a cheap red), I used Russian Red from MAC

and a real shiny gloss...you can dab red glitter to the center of the lips too!

FUN GLITTER: dab lipgloss, highlighter, or concealer under eyebrows....and on cheekbones...

take gold glitter (like from the craft store) and dab it on the gloss or concealer..which will hold the glitter on like glue....with your finger

Knock em' out Joanna...and her team!!! Tell us how you did and send a picture of all you girls made up!!!!

CONTEST RESULTS ARE COMING UP....I GOT SO MANY PICTURES, I'm still trying to open all the files and see them!!! Everyone looks so great...I wish I could send everyone something, because everyone really looks fantastic!!!!

T-shirt Cutting 101 & my style inspirings

Thank you so much for all the kind things you've written to me....it has made my heart feel so much better! Kind words don't circulate enough...so I will thankfully soak up any and all kindness! Thank you so much....

Today kind of had some overwhelming moments...I really tried to be as positive as I could, but sometimes it's okay to just be sad...I had some tears slip out of my eyeballs today...some moments my sister made me laugh...and what's kinda funny is....in the t-shirt cutting video...the black shirt I cut up in the video....I was wearing that when I had my little car-smashing! how funny is that! so now you know what I looked like when I got out of my car that now has a new shape...ha ha ha

so here's the video I made....
you're gonna need some fabric scissors (or just really nice and sharp scissors)
a t-shirt that needs to be re-vamped, renovated, or redesigned
(my fav are thrift store shirts or ones that are ill-fitting and new a make-over)



oh yeah, I did another style shirt too..but it made the video too long...so I'll post T-shirt Cutting 101 PART 2 tomorrow!

thank you so much everyone for sending your love my way!!! I feel it and my heart is feeling like it got a huge hug!!!
