NOTD - Stamping Mani - Silver Fishnet - Konad M57

I have been wanting to try out more of my stamping plates but as my nails are massive I can't use some of the smaller more precision designs. One of which is the fishnet type design on the M57 plate. So I demanded my lovely friend Katie who had tiny hands should let me use her nails for experimentation.

Here is the lovely Spotted Stingray plush helping Katie model

A tiny bit messy but not bad for a first go.

Sexy Star Wars is Sexy - Darth Talon

Oh look it's my good friend Kendall! She is dressed (and I use the term loosely haha) as Darth Talon from the Star Wars extended universe.

Kendall and I are both joining the 501st (A group of people who dress up as characters from Star Wars but only the Empires side) The guidelines are pretty strict on the costumes as they often get paid to go to events like DVD launches, movie launches and all (they donate any money they get paid to charity)

I had to help Kendall out as her costume is mostly her body painted red and black. Hahaha.
We had to do this three times before she was approved (as this was the first time anyone has completed a Darth Talon costume for the 501st in THE WHOLE WORLD and they kept saying to change the tattoos)

We got a drill down pat after the third time. First, paint Kendall red with body paint and a roller (like you paint your walls with) let that dry.
Second, using stencils and an airgun paint on the tattoos (also using body paint)
Third stick on Kendalls lekku (the head tentacles) with prosthetic glue and stuff. paint her face red and black. Fourth put on her outfit.

It was a lot of fun even tho it took forever! It was great to get to do most of the work as Kendall had to stand still to avoid smudging herself. It was a great lesson in air brushing, dealing with people being still for a long time and the importance of how you cut out your stencils.

I took all the photos also and we really happy with how they turned out, esp the one above!

Of course as the 501st is primarily fun and silly we had to have the obligatory Sith Lord Darth Talon doing something mundane.

Australia day? Evil Blue Cyber day!!

So the 26th of January is Australia day. This is when the first fleet (a bunch of ships carrying a bunch of criminals from the UK) landed in Port Jackson in Sydney in 1788 to make a lovely new commonwealth country. Also know as Invasion day due to the fact that there were already indigenous people here (who like many in other countries) were not treated that well by the new people coming here.

Mostly it is a public holiday where lots of yobbos get wasted and wear the flag as a cape :/
Which is ugly and horrible and I hate yobbos.

Our friend was putting on a goth club in a really cute venue the night before (yay no work we can stay out late on a Wednesday) so we decided to go have fun. Unfortunately the super cute venue was in Kings Cross.

King Cross is sort of famous for being a place to party as there are a lot of bars open late, strip clubs and all sorts of crazyness. No one I really hang around goes there as it is usually full of drunk rowdy tourists and out of town people acting like wankers. It was going to me at maximum wanker capacity due to the public holiday.

With this in mind I decided to wear angry scary make up so I would at least be scaring people while they annoyed me.
This is what I came up with!

I love the fire contacts combined with all the blue ^_^

I am actually disappointed that I am pulling a not very scary face here but you get the idea.
We were already drunk at this point (on the platform at the train station near out house, hence the sexy tiles in the back ground) as we decided we needed to be drunk to get through the ordeal of getting to The Cross and walking through it to the club, and this is the only pic I took :(

But look! Here is my cat Luci sleeping on my cleaned and drying powder puffs and sponges

Awww she is soooo cute :)

Green hair purple eyes

So I died my hair green while I was away fixing up my IRL life!
I also shaved off my eyebrows which I think is the best thing I have done in ages!

So the weekend after my car accident I became really ill with a virus and was vomiting up everything I ate or drank for 48 hours. It was horrible, I couldn't get out of bed, I couldn't eat or drink and it was so hard to sleep because I felt so ill.

The week following that I got a flu. I couldn't talk or eat solid things as my throat was killing me.
I still have a cough and loose my voice at the drop of a hat now :(

The silver lining to being run over by a taxi and your wheelchair being ruined?
You get to pick new wheels! After much deliberation I decided to get the more expensive but totally the most awesome sexiest tough brutal cyber wheels ever made!!

I love them soooooo much!!!

These photos were from 3 weeks ago and it was the first time I had worn make up or lenses since I got hit. These are plain purple lenses. I Like their high impact. Also these are new super huge eyelashes from BYS (a cheap Australian brand found in dollar shops and cheap department stores) they are pretty plasticy so can be hard to glue on but for 7 bucks they look AWESOME

How is everyone? I missed you all! I have over 1000 unread blog posts in my reader! :o

Yup I got hit by a car :/

So I had all this exciting stuff planned and part completed for you guys for this weekend including a video about nail stamping and some really cool make up looks.

Then yesterday disaster (yes more disaster) struck. One of my little baby ratties is really really sick. He has a horrible flu but is also really old so I am worried he is just not going to get better.

I worked from home to look after him and after I had finished work I went to a friends house to paint some warhammer (don't know what that is, look at my warhammer blog). It was nice and relaxing and I was on my way home feeling optimistic. I was crossing the street at the crossing and then BANG! halfway across the street I was hit by a taxi turning right into the street I was crossing. I flew through the air and landed on the road. I was lucky no other cars were around or it probably would have been so much worse. Some strangers called an ambulance and the police.

The ambulance took me to the emergency room and I was there for about 3 hours. After a bunch of xrays and pain killers it turned out that nothing was wrong with me except my wrist is sprained and my fingers are all bruised.

It could have been so much worse! The taxi hit my wheelchair on the right hand side and that wheel is totally ruined so I will have to get another one which is expensive :( but if I had been walking instead of in a wheelchair I am sure I would have had a broken ankle or knee so I think I got off lightly.

The most upsetting part is that because I am not 'majorly injured' the driver will probably only get a ticket, not be charged in court and he may not be held liable for the repairs that need to be done to my wheelchair.

At least I am alive!

NOTD - minty moon manicure

So I am experimenting by posting this from my htc while stuck on the train! How exciting.
Here are my nails for today.

China Glaze - Re-freshmint
Picture Polish - Violet Femme
Konad leopard print stamp

FOTD - Green Goth Geek w/ Purple Contact Lenses

Hai everyone!

I don't know if I have mentioned but I pretty much never put on make up for the specific reason of blogging. All the looks I post are just the make up I happen to be wearing that day/night.

Today is a different story! This one is just for you!

I pretty much realised I don't do make up just for this blog because I am always in a rush to go do something! Half way through this I had to rush off so I have no eyebrows or mascara on! (I fixed that up on the train to my destination)

On my Face:
Illamasqua Powder Foundation
Smashbox Softlights Powder - Dolice Vita

On my Eyes:
TFSI
NYX Jumbo Pencil - Royal Mountain Green
Sugarpill Eyeshadow - Tako
Make Up Store Cybershadow - Gingerleaf
Smashbox Eyeshadow - Digital
Fyrinnae - Pixie Epoxy
Shiro Cosmetics loose e/s - Bulbasaur
Morgana Cryptoria loose e/s - Isis
Morgana Cryptoria loose e/s -Lady of the Lake
Eyeko Graffiti liner - Black
MAC Mascara - Haute & Naughty

(omg how badly have I applied this! hahaha!)

On My Lips:
Venomous Cosmetics Lip Poison - Hysteria

Contact Lenses
Random ebay -Doll E.Y.E Violet

I am pretty dissapointed with how subtle these lenses are :( they are just a bit too dark for my taste I think.

I had to post these pics while I had them shadows out.

Poor Make Up Store, they are so under rated, I would say easily as great at MAC, same price here in Australia and with more usefull diversety and less token limited edition stuff.

These are two of my fav of their Cybershadows. Buzzer and Gingerleaf, I used Gingerleaf in the above look but not buzzer. Buzzer looks totally liquid holographic when applied over a black base. I will have to do a look like that for you!

Here is a nice lil pic of the loose shadows I used. Bulbasaur, Isis & Lady of the Lake.
I love this combo!

I had to include this pic to show off the reason I am wearing a blue shirt. (I never where blue) Do you guys know what shirt it is? :D
