    Practicing Modelinia… 

    Ok, this was an experiment and as a disclaimer I would like to say that I don’t have all the right equipment that the makeup artists on Modelinia have.  Also, I was having a little bit too much fun.

    First I tried the “Warmed Up Look“….  do I look warmed up?  Ok, I know that didn’t work out quite well, its like a cross between warmed up and smoky eye and yet..neither.  By the way, this is my sexy face.

    And then I tried “The Statement Lip” except I didn’t use that hideous hot purple that they use in the video.

    And then I tried The Brow Wow!

    My favorite, although I got a little carried away.

      You are a paragons of pulchritude my darling. I especially like the Brow Wow look. So when you say you were having too much fun… does that mean that there was some form of fermented liquid involved?

      I was stone cold sober Ma! And nicely done busting out with the vocab. We’re starting a category soon that will involve our love of good verbiage, I’ll definitely have to include some pulchritude.

      That place does look cool – I want to visit! (The Vice website is pretty interesting, too, although I just wasted an hour reading about some freakshow who thinks he is Jesus the Second and now I am thoroughly annoyed with both the people who join cults, and the people who leave fanatical comments on blogs featuring interviews with said cult leaders.)

    a review 

    I don’t know if I told you, but I saw Inglourious Basterds last weekend, and I just wanted to say – highly recommended. Two thumbs up, five stars, a juicy red tomato, the whole shebang. I have probably seen almost every Tarantino film, and find him to be entertaining, but often a little over done. Take Kill Bill, for example – it was great, but after the 57th blood-spewing-jugular, I was over it. Before now, True Romance and Reservior Dogs were tied for my favorites, with Pulp Fiction a close second. But I am going to go out on a limb here and say that every other Tarantino movie ever made was simply in preparation for this, his masterpiece, a perfect combination of comedy, gore, and, most importantly, restraint. (More …)

      Well allrighty then – I’ll make sure to note this review and see this when it comes out on blu-ray. Sadly, unless I want to go to the movies alone (its a possibility) the movies I see at the theater (with Max) only involve 1) Science Fiction 2) Explosions 3) Boobs – or a mixture of all three. Very nicely written review though!

      Well, there are a ton of explosions in this movie, but no topless aliens. If it is still playing when you come down here, I will see it again with you!

      Yes yes, a very nice review, cheers! However I did not have the same feelings for this movie. I will openly admit that Tarantino films are not tops on my list. It’s not that I mind blood and guts, and I just adore Brad Pitt, my problem is with the subtitles. I hate subtitles! When do you get to actually “watch” the movie? I was so busy reading subtitles that I feel like I missed most of the action. I may go see it again but first I must indulge in a speed reading class. The ending however was fantastic. I won’t give it away but I would love to have an audience photo-shot from the screens viewpoint, that would be worth a thousand reviews.

    On the subject of style 

    Idea wall 02I thought since we were talking about personal style last week, I’d post my “idea wall.” I don’t know how it got that name, it started as a Cirque du Soliel calendar that had a kind of creepy picture one month, so I started clipping pictures of clothes and shoes I liked on top of it. Now I change the page each month, and it is always interesting to see what items make the cut from one month to the next. Some things get tossed at the end of the month, and I am glad I didn’t jump on that trend, and when something lasts for a few months, often I buy it (or something very similar.) Like those studded ballet flats from capezio (top right) have been up there for a long time….I hope soon they will be on my feet!

      Oh, thats very nice. You should laminate it when the year is over. It’ll be like a time capsule. Maybe I’ll start one!

    • Emilily 11:52 am on September 9, 2009 Permalink

      that’s actually a cool idea. If I had saved the discards each month, and left them all on a time line, I could look back over the year and see how my tastes had evolved. While it might not be that thrilling from just a “this is what i wanted to wear last year” perspective, wouldn’t it have been cool if we had done one of these in college? Or if our moms had done one when they were in college? I think we should develop this project more!
