Back for the Attack - Cyber Green

So I have returned!

After much time off with work stress, life stress, financial stress I feel like I finally have some time and energy to put back into blogging.

I had also been spending a fair amount of time doing crafts (which I had totally neglected) and also playing some games, both computer and table top war gaming.

A welcome back post would not be complete without some pictures!

Here is my newest tattoo, it's actually very new! only a week old! It is by far my fav and was drawn from scratch and tattooed by my friend Paul Abstruse who is a published comic book artist.

(this goes from practically my crotch to my knee on my left thigh it's HUGE)

Check out his work here!

 

So I changed my diet a fair bit, I have cut out all wheat and a lot of beans, corn, limited my dairy and rice intake and I have actually lost quite a bit of weight.

Instead of an xxl shirt from ThinkGeek I am an M! My corset that used to just fit now completely closed at the back! In addition to becoming more sexy I also feel less sick, have more energy and can think better.

Here are some pics of a cute green outfit I wore the other weekend.

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.

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

Best Cyber Wig Ever - Videos are fun

Hello hawt interwebs people!! Look at my wiiiiggggg!

Goggles and glasses together looks werid!
Ahhh Monday morning here, Yay (I think :s)

What a hilarious and awesome weekend! Much fun and sillyness was had with my housemate Rachel aka Cold-Blooded Angel and our friend Mellie.

Have you heard of Industrial Dancing? It is a kind of dancing, that funnily enought is done to industrial music. The latest goffik internet craze is making cute/funny or just cool videos of people doing these dances, sometimes in hilarious places or just out in public.

Here is an example I like (it's both good and bad, serious but also funny)

We all love these videos and can't enough of watching them, and since our group of friends and funny and cool(of course hah!) we decided we would make one of these videos. We had about 8 people lined up to do it but of course everyone piked on us so it was Just Rachel, Mellie and me.

What a great excuse to wear my new wig and contact lenses! I did sort of simple make up with big bottom lashes as the video was being done at night and I wanted to draw people into the contacts.

Unfortunately I was sober during the whole event ( I am not drinking till June and have already gone nearly two months without drinking!) but Mellie and Rach were drunk enought on my behalf. After the video making we watched Backstreet Boys videos on youtube and danced to them.

I got two great photos of Rach and Mellie while we were filming, you can't see their make up but the photos are awesome so I am going to include them! I will have some pics of Rach and Mellies make up later on as they looked awesome with Mellie being all white and Rach all black :)

Possums, Fun Times and Assemblage 23

So I have been a bit absent lately just due to so much going on IRL really.

Good and bad so that is ok. A fair bit in between also which keeps everything interesting.

Last weekend Assemblage 23 played in Sydney. It's a bit of a deal for us because not so many bands come to Australia and they were one of my first fav goth electro bands.

They were fracking awesome! I have seen VNV 2 times and A23 were way better than both!

Usually I am shy of meeting bands but I was pretty drunk and super excited so had to tell them they were WAY better than VNV and get a photo.

Holly meets A23

My friends Terry, Wendy and I were a bit annoyed at the prices of drinks at the venue so we went down the street to a bottle shop and got some vodak. We mixed it with powerade and drank it in the park. In the park we saw a Possum! I was so excited.
Australian possums are cuter and nicer than the American ones and he was so close!
A lot of people think there are animals everywhere in Australia and I suppose that is sort of true but I live right in the city so I don't see any really so it was exciting to see one in the city.

Holly and Terry

I have been into pink lately? Can you tell? Terry and I both have contacts in so we couldn't see anything, it was hilarious. Also it was windy and raining in the park and we were all in our trampy goth gear so we were freezing, it sounds crap but it was actually fun.

Later in the night after the show we went to a goth club where I fell down some stairs, spilled a coke on myself and Wendy and Terry threw up. We then walked home yelling about how hot all the people from Game of Thrones are hahahaha! Good Times!
