You Should Wear Glitter More Often-Fotd

She was decked out in her best dress. Glitter imbedded into the fabric, bright red shimmering under the disco lights of the club. It stretched tightly against her narrow hip bones that stuck out like knives. Her chest is flat, though there are false breast cutlets stuck in the tight bodice. Lassie Calhoon knows she may not be a woman every night but when she gets on the stage she is herself. She hasn't tucked every part of her real gender away, her wig isn't itchy and the nagging feeling the other queens don't like her fades. She can see the adoring faces of the men and women around her. They swarm her hands full of dollar bills. This will pay her way through college. This will give her the psychological degree she's always wanted. Lassie flips her hair and taps her feet along to the first beats of a famous pop song. The music sweeps over her, the bass pounds. She dances under the heat of theater lights and disco balls. Her hair flies around her like an elegant bird. Lassie is completely herself at this moment.
When she gets back stage she knows she'll be ignored by everyone but her Drag Momma. The big black women who calls herself Taffy and always dances to Whitney. She was the first to take her to the wig shop. They burned the wal-mart halloween wigs together in the ally way behind the club. She knew she was home. Taffy smiled at her from behind a face full of shaving cream. "Sweet wing you were delicious tonight!" She calls from the mirror as the razor buzzes down her cheek. Lassie takes off the wig and she's Richard again. His cheeks stark without blush. Richard tries to smile with his lipstick still on. It's not the same as Lassie. Tomorrow he'll go back to school. But for right now, as he puts the wig back on, she's happy in her world.

I have several friends who are drag queens, boys who wear make-up and beautiful boys who look damn good in eyeliner. These boys are very important to me. One (Josef Scarlette/aka Vozzost.) helped me become the sparkly mass of color you know now. A few years ago I would never have made a blog about make-up including pictures of myself. He told me to start wearing colors like purple to gently ease myself out of the browns and ivories that used to color my life. For this I will be eternally grateful. Please check Josef out on Youtube. His user name is Vozzost. You'll be amazed by his make-up. I promise I'll make a post about him soon. <3

What I used:
TFSI
Fyrinnae Pixie Epoxy
Aromaleigh Rock! Sonic Glitter in Masquerade (Medium purple placed on the lid.)

Fyrinnae e/s in French Vanilla Shake (My HG highlighter.)
NYC eyeliner in black
Urban Decay 24/7 eyeliner in Flipside
Waxy Hot Topic eyeliner (Under the lash line.)
Mascara

lips-

I hope you all are having an amazing day/week so far. *skips*

Galaxy of Glitter Mask-Contest Entry

It's in the middle of the night and you feel a tug at your heart. You sit straight up in bed, feeling the heat of some ones gaze upon you. Dazed you look around your room, you are alone. Carefully you move out of bed trying not to disturb your cat, dog or lover. The blinds are full of light. Half slits of beaming shine flash on your bedroom floor. You tug on the string to pull the blinds out to get a good look out side. The moon shines through your window, casting an erie gleam to the air outside. Past the moon you can see millions of galaxies. They are dancing, spinning just for you. Nebulas, stars, and planets all turning to the beat of the universe. You close your eyes because the beauty is to great. A single tear slides down your cheek. You will always remember the night where the galaxies glittered just for you. Even if it was a dream.

Oh boy was this tough but fun to do. I did this for Rebellious Make-up's amazing contest. The idea is to create a mask using only make-up and then recreate in a wearable way. There are a lot of great prizes which I must admit lured me in. The tiny star earrings you get when you win first prize are adorable plus Julissa makes you something with duct tape. Her bows are really cute you should check them out on her etsy and see a few on her blog. (Please check Blog Role for some reason I can never make links. :/ It's a herp derp on my part I'm sure.) I'm not very good at masks and I'm actually even worse with glitter but some how this came out amazing. It's kind of a half mask which looks good but I'm a little afraid won't be considered. I'm sorry Julissa I hope this is what your looking for. *crosses fingers*
If you haven't already seen SilhouetteScreams then you should get on that right away. It's fucking EPIC and very ska. Two things that should always be together. *nods head so hard it bangs against things*
Yeah sorry that this is a little rambley it's nearly seven in the morning. Uhm... I couldn't sleep.

*wipes brow* Man I'm bushed. Thankfully this only took a bit of tape and man power to take off all that glitter. I learned from a Drag Queen that tape is the best way to remove loads of glitter. She used it on her eyes too but I honestly wouldn't recommend it since it pulls so hard. Ouchie. I'll see you guys with the wearable version of this look later on today. :D

Lets start a Riot!

I have nothing better to do today other than futz around the house or play pokemon. *sigh* I hate days like this. Hopefully I'll be going to the Gay Bar tonight other wise this day will be a waste of... everything. Meh. Yesterday I finally finished my Kent application so now I'm working on the Ohio State one. It's taking forever because the web site is really hard to navigate. I hope I get accepted into Ohio State since most of my friends are going there. :D Plus it's the best school to get a job right out of college from. Everyone knows Ohio State. There are graduates all over the place. Woot woot!
