I too lurve the layout. So fresh.

I also wiped sleep from my eyes, but because I left my eyemakeup on, I had sexy black crud I had to delicately dig out with my pinkie.

I am sure you are a fine artist. There are a few interesting books available for sketchers, including "Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain" which is about not overthinking while sketching. I would say the best thing to do is invest in a spiral bound sketch pad and a set of numbered pencils (2,4,6,8,B,F etc) and a white eraser. Tools!

Nice colours, I could do with a shirt with this print.

That's very glamorous! I don't wear mascara but the couple of times I have I've fallen asleep with it on and woke up feeling like a movie star. Even if I crashed out after a hard night of tv watching.

I can't draw things. I can doodle and do patterns and whatnot. Things would be nice. I'll hunt that book down! Also the pencils!

Lash curler + brush + wet black shadow + mascara= BIG BIG LOVE.

Yeah, you nailed it. I love waking up with big slutty hair and smudged eye make up. I did on Saturday and felt so glorious I could hardly bring myself to shower and wash it all away.

I forgot to add a nice clean sharpener to the art supply list.

See, yeah, I just can't do it. I can't put eyeliner on straight and the mascara always goes gluggy and splashes down underneath my eyes. I'm the eye equivalent of putting lipstick on outside the lip line. Plus there's the whole business of having to put contacts in which I find an enormous pain in the.

I'm sure you looked glorious indeed, I can just picture it. You should have taken some self portraits, pretended to be a starlet!

Sharpener, added.

I'm vain enough as it is. Though Angelica once did a session at Glamour Shots that turned out remarkably well. Are Glamour Shots even around anymore?

But see, you're naturally pretty and thus don't need the makeup. Seriously. But I do recommend the smudged brush as an eyeliner sub. You needn't be as precise with it as your would the typical pencil.

It could have been very Cindy Sherman - it's not vanity if it's for art's sake ;) I'm sure glamour shots will always be around, but Glamour Shots? Is that a renowned glamour shot studio?

This is an artful way to deflect the issue of my incompetency with eye sticks! There's no substitute for mascara, though, the feel, the twirl ... except for false lashes, which seem even more hassleful(!). Ever gone there?

Falsies? Never on the lash. I actually think my lashes are fine without. I couldn't do a Twiggy.

Glamour Shots were very big in the States in the 80s. Think of them as the low-brow, Midwestern way of doing a headshot.

False boobs?

I think if you're gonna do glamour shot you really must wear a strapless, mermaid neckline frock in some harsh synthetic fabric.

Really. I've always been proud that I avoided those prom time disasters.

I had (maybe still have?) a water bra that has these sillicone-ish pockets in the lining of the bra. Ups you a whole cupsize too. I've work it a few times, trying to achieve that coveted "sweater girl" look.
