first you start with a huge pile of makeup...

then apply all of it...when in doubt...apply more.

Then laquer it all on there...

then you stuff your hair full of crap until you get a headache...if you don't have a headache its not enough stuff.

Then spray enough hairspray until your sure a part of the ozone has been depleted.

adorn your self in as much jewelery and sparlkly things as you own.....

then you are ready to leave the house. If your not hot, and blood sugar crashing from all the effort...then you are missing something.

anyways...its alot of drama for 3.5 minutes!!!

Ok then...

I have too much makeup. and clearly i could have have enough makeup for asmall village. where do i keep all this crap...

in a fishing tackle box of course...

there you are...all my makeup secrets...or elements of self torture..however you wish to look at that...and yes the very first one is real laquer...how else do you think all this stuff stays on???

i would say the most important is this...

its a good price and it works like crazy......don't use the non oil one...that one will not work. especially after she-laqing your face

Ok there you are...

      I remember the day that I congratulated myself for getting ready for a tribal performance in just under 3 hours. Maybe that's why I like to straddle the line between Tribal and Egyptian....Egyptian is just so much easier to prepare for. Skirt, bedlah, fake hair & lashes, some makeup, DONE! Tribal? Well, first you haul out the suitcase dedicated soley to tassels...............

        then you haul out your other suitcase dedicated bracelets and other baubles...............


        Yep I'm in Cali...

        I had 3 workshops today Racel,Zoe, and Mardi...sounds good???

        the catch??? its a about 105 degress here. I'm melting. and frying all at the same time. I did do the workshops but i doubt i retained a single second form any of those workshops. I was too busy trying to stake out my fan inthe classroom and airing the swamp but situation.Yeah ,no makeup for me.... i could try to put all this crap on me...but i fugue there is not enough shelaq in the world thats gonna help the makeup slide off my face as soon as i hit the outdoors.

        i'm fried to a crispy asunder....and its to damn hot to shop....my brain starts to melt as soon as i walk more than 10 paces.

        yeah so i bought 2 parasols in my deranged sun screweed state....I was in no condition to make decisions...so now I'm the proud owner of 2 parasols. serious the vendors have all the cards...if you want out of the sun you need to go into the beautiful tent were that is only shade...and you know its a slippery slope from there. Extreme heat and shiny things.please someone take my plastic away...

        anywho...going to bed now...

              what are you doing still up?? go to bed!! [hehehe, that's the mom in me talking]

              one of my ex's lives in that neck of the woods, i was down there visiting one summer, he was working, so i got up, took myself out for breakfast, about 1/2 mile walk, and then walked 5 miles to the mall. i wasn't going to walk back, so i asked a clerk how to get a bus back to where i was staying. she knew i wasn't american, and she said, "well how did you get here?" i said, "i walked." she said, "YOU WALKED, YOU WALKED 5 miles in 110 degree weather??? ARE YOU CRAZY." i said, "wellll, i am canadian." :D :S

              and now, off to sort and organize my belly dance stuff, an ongoing nightmare, lol.

              oh, and if it's any consolation, it's going to be over 30 degrees here, today... so they say.

              despite the weather, i hope you are having fun :) loving your anecdotes :)
