About Me

"Taking in every moment and enjoying life." I'm an adventurer at heart who loves a sense of humor, without it will be difficult since mistakes are bound to happen, especially trying out new and different things. Keep it fresh, fun and interesting! I'm an artist and entertainer who likes to kick it up with style...constantly on the go staying creative. Especially since I freelance as a makeup artist. It's my live canvas with costumes, paint, set design, and concept. Although acting, writing, and creating art is what I love to do the most. Experiencing life to the fullest- moment to moment. To embrace rapid changes reflecting on all levels of thoughts past, and presently approaching into the new era of ideas in all genres and medium. I am very analytical to all the details. Constantly feeding my mind with all that I can consume in the time I have to spare. To be human and go through all the emotions. Experience life, and just take one step at a time to learn through it all. To always build on my strengths and overcome weaknesses. To live freely in my own little world. "Dance like no one is watching, work like you don't need to money, and love like you've never been hurt." Remember the 3L's... "Laugh often, live well, and love always". Rock on...make your mark and be heard. Shape your destiny...



My Interests

Everything entertainment...films,special fx makeup, fashion, comics, martial arts, checking out art and making it. I spend a lot of time going through books in my spare time. I love expanding my mind with god-knows-what! All topics I enjoy from history, politics, poetry, to silly cartoons. I run the gamut in variety. I love collecting comic related stuff, books, especially art, and of course the girly stuff (shopping). You got to love the entertainment however you go about it from books, art, studies, people, to media! Some of my influences are Tim Burton, Neil Gaiman, Angelina Jolie, Milla Jolovich, Betty Page, Marylyn Monroe, Salvador Dali, Stephen Chow, Anita Mui, Faye Wong, and much much more. As Homer would say, "T.V.: mother, teacher, secret lover". You can check out some of my work and projects on www.youtube.com/lajulievan under my playlist titled Makeup Work of Mine. HERE IS SOME OF MY MAKEUP ARTISTRY IN THE 1st SLIDE: (the second slide has some of my modeling work)



I'd like to meet:

Good interesting people... I enjoy being expose to everything. It's the best way to learn about the world through your surrounding from friends to strangers from where ever. Stories true or false constantly spun to make the time more enjoyable.

Music:

Anything thats not horrible. Something I can sing along with, dance to, or scream with on some drunken night... ha ha... its karaoke baby ;) I have a very eclectic taste for everything.I'M IN THIS MUSIC VIDEO FOR ANGELS AND AIRWAVES...

Movies:

Can't get enough of it!!! I've watched everything from good to bad. All genres... it depends on my mood. I usually go for horror, CG animation, action, comedies, martial arts, anime, foreign & indies, to drama... etc. Cult films, underground, cutting edge... I love making and talking about films. I can keep going on about this subject... i.e. "Battle Royale", "Kill Bill", "Nightmare before Christmas", "Nightmare on Elm Street", "Resident Evil", "28 Days Later", "Kung Fu Hustle", "Shaolin Soccer", "Spirited Away", "Princess Mononoke", "Happy Gilmore", "Gladiator", "Sliding Doors", "Shrek", “Chinese Ghost Story”, “God of Gamblers”, “The Bride with White Hair”, “Happy Ghost”... and more

Television:

Wish I had more time to watch it :( My top five channels: Cartoon Network, Comedy Central, Discovery, History, MTV, and the preview (so I can see what's on, but then get distracted by the screen above) Seriously, I watch everything, to be entertained. This isn't tele, but I'm addicted to youtube...

Books:

Always good... I spend a lot of time at a book store. I love comics, art books, and so forth and so on... for example "Sandman Series" by Neil Gaiman, "Ender's Game" by Orson Scott Card, to "Lenore" by Roman Dirge, "Alice in Wonderland" by Lewis Carroll, "Making Faces" by Kevyn Aucoin, just to name a few.

Heroes:

People who challenge the difficulties of life and face it without fear knowing that it is better to have fought for what you believe in than sitting on your ass and letting life pass you by. Good or bad... you deal with what comes your way. For instance Mr. Martin Luther King, Leonardo di Vinci, explorers, Wong Fey Hong, and of course The Justice League, and Gir from Invader Zim, ha ha... had to throw in some fun :) And of course my family and friends

On the bounty

On the fringe Of being divided A light, but dark decision I feel the incision of what is reality Embracing the moment And feeling the rush Of what I can manifest The spell of fantasy The chapter to ...

Actions speak louder than words.  A week to reflect on what's really going on, and I heard it loud and clear with just the silence.  It's scary sometimes to be left alone with my thoughts.&n...
