Happy month-versary to us!!!

I got a notification that we’ve been on line for a month.  I’m not sure that’s accurate,  but I decided to post anyway! Hooray!

Well, we made it home from Chicago! What a fun weekend… as always. Riotfest Douglas Park Year 2 is in the books. I brought home lots of merch, as well as great memories, blisters, bruises, viral bronchitis, and thankfully, my dignity. Riotfest is a great way to check off bands on your bucket list, if you have one. I didn’t know I had one until we went to Riotfest last year and I began making a…

Today I’m busting out my final Riot Fest look: Electric Barbie! In keeping with our amazing themes, Polly is working her look: Electric Midge! (Look for her post).

I am wearing  J. Valentine and I decided to go with leggings and a tank top for the final day of our Chicago adventure.  Wrangling stocking on and off of my sweaty legs in a cramped bathroom has been a LOT of work this weekend.    The leggings definitely made things a little easier.   I made my hair pieces from mesh tubing sewn to elastics that are mounted on hair combs (I’m so crafty!). They came out great and they are super lightweight while still being glamazon huge and very sparkly. I put my hair in to two pigtails/buns and slide the combs in behind the hair elastics. I used some bobby pins to get things under control and went on my way to rock out. My makeup was also fun and sparkly pink!   I got the most compliments on my hair, but my boots were a close second.   They are huge (of course) and PINK!  They’re from Demonia and I had to look pretty hard to find them since I think it’s a discontinued style.   Oddly , they are sold in men’s sizes, so I’m glad I managed to get the correct size.    I had a scare because it didn’t look like they were going to arrive in time to bring with me to Chicago, but they did!!!!  Thank you express shipping!   I broke out my trusty UPF cycling shrug, sunglasses and a visor during the day to avoid burning my vampire toned skin, but they came off in the evening.   The finishing touch was the awesome pink zombie necklace that Polly got for me.   Thanks, lady!

Packing for Riotfest be like…  It’s almost time to leave. It’s quite possible we forgot a few things. 

Gah!  So excited for this weekend!  I made special fancy cyberlox hairpieces for Polly and me, but they are really big!  Between those and my stomp platform boots, I’m going to need an extra suitcase.   We have themes planned for each day of the festival.  Friday is Dragon day, Saturday is mermaid day and Sunday is electric Barbie and Midge! Oh, and we’re doing circus theme for Riot Feast on…

It’s finally September! Well, it has been for a week now; sorry I’m late to the party. Anyway, guess what that means?! HOT CARAMEL APPLE CIDER FROM BIGGBY! Seriously, Biggby is my favorite place in the land. Ok fine, little dramatic there, but whatever. I am obsessed over Biggby’s Hot Caramel Apple Cider. It is sooooo delicious. So apple-y. And caramel-y. And cinnamon-y. You get the idea.   <—-…

Today I’m wearing my trusty Kat Von D liquid lipstick in “mother”.  It’s my go to because I love the color on me and it wears pretty well.    You can see on my Starbucks cafe latte that there is very little transfer on the lid.  It applies well and has a nice matte finish.   I’m loving my sparkly green nails and white flowers with the Starbucks cup too!   Fancy!

Alice Cooper & Deep Purple

So I took my boyfriend to see Alice Cooper and Deep Purple at DTE for his early birthday present and all in all it was a great show. This was my first time seeing a show at DTE; formally, and still fondly known to some, as Pine Knob. My boyfriend teased about how some people get terribly upset when you don’t call the place Pine Knob and I sort of laughed it off as if he was crazy. Turns out, he’s…

Polly and I did fun fairy hair and makeup this weekend.    I decided to go with green ponytails and blunt bangs.   I got to wear my amazing Tarte Fairytale Liquid Lipstick.  So much green!   I found all of this good stuff on Amazon and have included links below.
