Obituary Challenge

So I was tagged by Sary.. Basically its this:

The Rules:
 Link back to whoever tagged you.
Put these rules in your tag
Write an obituary about yourself (it can be as funny or as serious as you like)
Write a paragraph or two (or more if necessary) in length.
You may tag up to 10 people, and be sure to link them.
Have fun, because creative writing is one of the greatest joys in life!

So here goes:

Caitlin was 23, when she passed away this Monday the 3rd of September. She was single with no children. Caitlin is survived by her parents and younger sister. Her job was boring and mind numbing. No doubt she will be easily replaced.  Life wasn't particularly good to her. She had been single approximately 4 and a half years when she passed from a heart attack brought upon by her comfort eating. Though she tried on more than one occasion to succeed but has never quite been accepted by society. Her creative designs never sold and she was never very popular. Caitlin was shy and uncomfortable in public and was paranoid about what people thought of her.

Her funeral will be held next Friday. She has requested that she be cremated on a funeral pyre. There was $300 bequested in her will for alcohol.

Outfit Post.. Awwwwwyeeeah.. ^^

So I went shopping yesterday.. Bought a black and white striped mini skirt and a mesh cardigan from Moda in Target and two U-Tanks from Free Fusion in Target in black and geranium (basically, halfway between pink and red, not actually as weird as it sounds).

So I made this for you :)

So the underbust corset is mine from Corsets Boulevard in the UK. Hope you like the outfit. I rather do like it. And it shows off my cupcake tattoos. :)

So I got back into making some fasinators yesterday too. 

Its not the best I've ever made but its nice. Blonde head piece with blonde knot thingy on top of a silver headband. Turquoise and black feathers with white feathers, forest green ribbon, white lace and alot of sparkly gemstones. 

Well I'm off to play the Sims 3. Yes its geeky, even for the gaming world but I love it. I'm looking forward to the Sims Supernatural in a couple of days. It looks interesting (having a big focus on vampires, werewolves and witches) but I'm more interested in the The Sims 3 Seasons. I love the fuzzy feeling I get from watching my sims garden in the rain, enjoying the snow etc. I'm looking very much forward to more interactive game play, the umbrellas in the rain, sunburn in the summer time, the festivals and that the whole town will get the weather, not just individual lots at a time. I know I'm getting far too excited for this but I've been a loyal player since the first Sims came out in 2000. Granted there are times when I would not play for months and months but then get the urge and play for days on end. I'm thinking I might have to purchase a computer to play with because my poor little trooper of a laptop might not be able to run all the games seamlessly. I'll probably go into JB HiFi next week and put a new computer on layby.

Anyhow..

My nails.. the sequel.. and other stuff.. I don't know.. I ramble..

Greetings.. ^^

So I've still been using the Sally Hansen stuff. so this is my nails after one week of use. I didn't expect them to be fantastic. I do work alot with my hands and they slinter at the tip alot.

So they don't look fantastic just yet. But hopefully we'll get there. :)

Box one of two arrived from England a couple of days ago. It was brimming with crin! Lots of crin! And this is only half of what I ordered. It's like a box of live snakes. I love how crin almost looks alive when its in motion. :)

                                      

Going to be making lots of fasinators this weekend since racing season, here in Australia, starts around the end of Sept and I'm hoping if I can get in early, people will design outfits around them rather than finding a hair piece to match. I don't hold much hope. I know my designs aren't very creative or very good. I kind of just do whatever pops into my head instead of making designs and planning.. I just unholster my hot glue gun and give myself third degree burns on my finger :P

Anyways.. I'm off to bed.

Just random stuff

So here's some photos...

 This is my housemate Sarah.. I did a trial run of her Halloween make up on Sunday.. I used Manic Panic goth white foundation with a light dusting of Pure White eyeshadow.. For her face framing and eyes I used Posh Peacock eyeshadow done over with a light dusting of Jet Black eyeshadow.. All the shadows are by Rimmel We're trying to go for a look of Emily the corpse bride.. I'm making her a black rose head garland and we'll do her hair in a fancy bridal fashion..

I've started to use nail hardener because I'm sick of my dodgy blunt and slintered nails.. I'm using Sally Hansen Triple Strong Advanced Gel Nail Fortifier.. This was taken on Day One after two coats... I'll take a photo next Wednesday and see how we're doing..

In the rest of my life.. Well, my job has been ok, though my feet have been killing me at the end of the day.. Waiting on a shipment of crin from Cyberlox Shop.. And I spent quite a few $$ on lots of pretty new panties.. When they arrive I'll be rating the sites I bought from.. I already got $10 off from HipsandCurves.com because when I first tried, it wasnt letting me add anything to my cart and they emailed me a $10 voucher.. :P

Anywho.. I'm rambling..

Also some in fuchsia purple.. same style.. oh my god.. :)

I got Kate Moss by rimmel lipstick today.. in shade number 04

So I think thats all for tonight.. Hopefully, my transformation of my housemate Sarah into Emily from The Corpse Bride as a trial run of her Halloween costume..

My first experience of MAC

As of today, Target sells MAC products.. Not the whole range just yet but we've got some nice stuff..

I put $97 worth on layby (some eye shadows and an eyeliner) and I spent another $90 on some lipsticks, another eyeliner and the studio fix powder plus foundation

I have to say that the lipstick is really creamy. Nothing like any of the other lipsticks I've ever used. I got Rebel and MAC Red shades. I quite like them but my application skills are lacking a bit..

 MAC Red

Rebel

Worst photos ever but its all I could be bothered with at the end of my day.

Sometime soon I'll be doing a trial run of some corpse bride makeup on my housemate Sarah for Halloween. ^^ hopefully she'll let me put photos up :P

Thanks for reading. :)

'These are a few of my favourite things'

Rain drops on roses and whiskers on kittens,

Bright coloured dread falls and goth stylin mittens,

White plastic packages all full of new rings,

These are a few of my favourite things,

Red coloured hair bows and cute little poodles,

Lipsticks and blushes and oodles of eyeballs,

Tight corsets that shine with the joy that they bring,

These are a few of my favourite things,

Goths in bright dresses with hair falls that clashes,

Make up and lashes that have neon splashes, 

Piercings and tattoos and body-mod blings,

These are a few of my favourite things

You get the hint, I'm hoping at least.

Miss JamJam hair bows rock my little world. I'm a bit of an eyeball freak. Can deal with real eyeballs but I fucking LOVE these. I wear them to work most days ^^

Granted I love hair bows, head bands, hair colour and hair falls in general. I love hair falls above anything else. Mainly because my hair is so thin and gets so icky so quick. Hair falls with me the best volume, that makes me smile.

I love these ones I got for $1 (plus postage) off Ebay. I just happened to be the only person who bid. FTW!

with Miss Vivi 

And these Vixen falls cost me a bit. They were my first ones and I may have screwed up the elastic a bit (ok a lot).

And Cyberlox. I loooooove Cyberlox. My favourite ones are ones I make myself. The best supplier in the world is CyberloxShop on Ebay. They have 138 different colours of tubular crin, plus premade dreads, premade cyberlox and foam falls, goggles, clip in hair extenstions, clip in hand dyed human hair fringes, wool roving (the stage wool is at before it becomes wool dreads, felt etc), Kanekalon synthetic hair and tons of other stuff. It's a little expensive compared to other stores online for the paying price but once you factor in postage (they do free combined postage on bags of crin), its better than 90% of the other stores. 

Aaaaagh!!! Cyberlox craziness!

I know I've been really lazy this last few weeks. I have barely had the urge to do anything crafty. But I have a few costume parties to go to in the next few months which means its time to break out the sewing machine, hot glue gun and measuring tape. Viv's 21st birthday with a Sci Fi theme, our house is doing a massive Halloween party which I still only have no idea what I'm going to go as, I've got Bunny's wedding in October, which means a 'unofficial bridesmaid' dress I need to make (also which I am terrified of screwing up), a circus theme party sometime in summer and I have the most unbelievable urge to have a glam goth themed cocktail party.

So in the next few weeks I'll be attempting to make a stick on/head piece metal look cyborg scope style face detail. Chrome up some Nerf guns and make a couple of holsters, big boots, bullet belts and black corset etc.
I need to get a rockabilly outfit together for Bunny's Hen's night next month too. I like Inspired Insanity. They have larger sizes and a nice range. I'm getting a cute retro style dress for Marinda's wedding in February.
I'm assuming I'll be doing my regular zombie look for Halloween. Since The Walking Dead  season one DVD came out, I've learnt how to use gelatine to make flesh wounds. This, of course, makes my costume ideas a little narrower because I like to use new skills. I'll think of something, I'm sure.
I want a really classy cocktail party. I may have gotten the idea from Dani though. I want to get these glasses. Can you just imagine the absinthe cocktails in those????

*squeeeeeeee*

I was considering buying the Carnival Queen set from Lovechild Boudoir for it. Its got a classy yet skanky quality to it. Sounds just like me. ^^

Anyhoo.. I've been writing and linking for too long and my fingers hurt.
