I love being a makeup artist, even though I have been a slacker lately, it is my first love. It is something that I have loved since I was a kid and tried to make my grandma look like Madonna. (I even drew a rosary on her neck with eyeliner.) Of course when I saw House of Style for the first time, it was all over, I was in love. The best part about makeup is that, although you can be taught some techniques and styles, it is art, you have to have the love of it and that truly is something you cannot learn. Way Bandy and Kevyn Aucoin are def in a league of their own and my personal heroes when it comes to artistry.
You are Bettie Page
Girl next door with a wild streak
You're a famous beauty - with unique look
And the people like you are cultish about it
What Famous Pinup Are You?
Life and Death, energy and peace, if I stopped today it was fun, even the terrible pains that have burned me and scarred my soul. It was worth it for having been allowed to walk where I've walked. Which is hell on earth, heaven on earth, back again, under, far in between, through it, in it, over and above.
The Mitford girls the Mitford girls I love them for their sins!
Im gonna be..
when I grow up.
I love him.
