This is probably the best thing to happen in 2014: Disney Villains Perfume

This was found from an unknown source on Tumblr. I have no clue when these products are going to be released, from which company and the pricing. Such a mystery. I must have them all!

Posing says a lot about photos: Don't think that people are perfect, it's all about the angles.

There is a photographer by the name of Gracie Hagen who took shots of fairly decent looking people posing both in attractive angles and unappealing poses. The point of the photos were not to suggestively compare and contrast, but to point out that people in general have similar bodies to the people portrayed in the photos. In society, we are constantly looking up to these fashion models who are experts at posing and looking slimmer. Even when we take photos of ourselves, we do our best to look skinnier and prettier and well rested. I myself am guilty of snapping a good few photos for a decent selfie. I may cover certain things just to be discreet, but my friends and family know my body type. And when I am alone at home, I pose awkwardly in front of the mirror to see how far my stomach expands and how flat my butt goes when I squeeze it in. The body is absolutely beautiful. 

Only people who have seen me naked know my natural beauty. And to be honest there is nothing wrong about naked skin. I mean, I had to take Life Drawing Classes in college and I have seen all types of bodies. And I was never bothered by the rolls, cellulite and scars. It was more interesting to draw and my pictures had more personality to them. 

I love seeing these people posing fiercely and posing like no one is looking around.

Let's have a look at these raw photos:

Fat Shaming: Are the Chubby Chicks Winning?

I believe that there is this ongoing issue of thicker women who are given shit for flaunting their belly rolls and curves. Even as a thick girl, I'm put in between this issue because I am placed between what society accepts and how we should love ourselves. The weird thing about it is that I am on both sides of the fence. The skinny perspective makes me think about a person's health, but not as much as how disgusted I am by the appearance of someone's cellulite or un-proportioned body. As cruel and harsh as that sounds, I have a Love-Hate relationship for Fat Chicks. I am all for accentuating curves, but on both ends some people just cant pull off wearing specific items of clothing. Normally, I'm not really fond of women who dress a little more risqué and at times Slut Shamming is another issue I'd rather put aside for another Blog Post. I feel like a hypocrite at times, but this is how I really feel.

Beauty Inspiration: Katie Mitchell aka TheDisneylandPrincess

One of the few people that I am stalking on Instagram is a Disney Princess/Make Up Artist by the name of Katie Mitchell. Her style is kawaii and super charming. I'm envious of her upkeep in hair and makeup. There is something about her that seems so whimsical and free spirited. I can only imagine what it's like to work for Disney. 

Check out instagram.com/thedisneylandprincess for more photos or her colorful life.

Drag Queens can do no wrong.

 

I'm living for these queens featured at the Marco Marco Fashion Show during LA Fashion Week. It would be nice to feature a variety of performers and models for my shows in the future. I'm definitely getting a few ideas thinking about it. 

Make Up Confessions from a Rookie.

Make up does a lot for women. It boosts your confidence, it hides your unwanted flaws and completely defines the best parts of your face. Like any skill a women should attain like knowing how to do your hair, staying in some kind of shape, developing a fashion sense and learning to how to become the best version of themselves. Make up is essential for every women and men (Sorry guys, I forgot), but it's so difficult to pick up those skills when you are less skilled than a child smearing lipstick all over his/herself.  It's difficult and embarrassing to even put on make up for any occasion, but you do your best to imitate a Youtube Beauty Guru and paste some cheap makeup on your face.

So tonight's the night to experiment with makeup for a party. Yay! I usually give myself the whole day to get ready.

As we all know, Make up is easy and quick to do and only the experts can do the smokey eye in less than 5 minutes.

And you wouldn't want to go to a place bare faced because people are cruel sometimes.

So here we go. Let's hope I don't fuck up.

And don't forget about all the pretty girls who will give you shit for looking like a raccoon....

So...How can I pull this off?

This is what I want to look like in my head.

This is what I end up doing. I never remember to let my face cook after applying foundation.

Why do the other girls make it look so easy?!!!

You  start over and over until you cried your eyes out about how useless you feel.

But something in you says to Fuck the world and do your own thing.

So you go back to feeling confident.

But first, let's watch a few Make up tutorials...

Since these people can teach years of experience under 20 minutes.

And of course you own every expensive make up brand to follow up with the self taught gurus.

I can just leave the house and call my look haute couture.

You are afraid to look at how much of a mess you are every time you see your reflection.

In the end, push the prettiest girl onto the floor and be the loudest in the room.

Beauty Inspiration: Founder of Lime Crime, Doe Deere

Any one who can pull off lavender hair and poupee makeup makes me envious because I have no hair or makeup skills what so ever. But when I'm in the mood to be inspired, I go on my Instagram from time to time and find some colorful images that really brighten up my day. 

She's got that Dame Edna hair: She probably has to dye that hair every week to upkeep that shade of lavender.

She dresses up like a bunch of fruit candy pieces and somehow only in Californian weather, she can get away with it.

Her style is basically ticky tacky: Flamingos, Fruits and Pastels.

Look at that hair. It's looks like frosting on those super sugary cakes!

Mah. I iz jealous.

I wish we knew each other so I could borrow her clothes.

I need to compose a collection based on those colors.

She cant get enough of those Flamingos.

Teach me, Doe Deere!
