Marvelous Makeup Blog

Hi friends,

Well, now that summer is starting to come to a close, I’ve finally found some time to sit, breath and blog.

The Tokyo in Tulsa show went well.

We had a wide variety of costuming and makeup designs, as well.

One of my looks was a gothic geisha girl and I got to wear this really nice Kimono. (Nothing too fancy, loosely based on a traditional one.) What made it unique was the jewelry that complimented the outfit, like leather wrist bands with studs in them and really tall and shiny 7 inch heels. It was super fun.

The makeup wasn’t traditional either. We used a soft natural peach look for the lips, cheeks and face then made it really dramatic with a dark and shimmery forest green for the eyes. We didn’t want the makeup to be distracting from the designers clothes, so they down played it and made it a more modern look instead of traditional geisha white paint. I guess they wanted it to look like you could just step off the runway and go out for a night on the town in some fun geisha fashions. Cool idea.

Some other stuff has been going on, too. My Dad has been battling lower intestinal and acute pancreatic sicknesses since ‘02 and he all of a sudden got really sick again in August, just right after the show. Its been really hard on our family, not knowing why he keeps getting this sick and feeling like we don’t know how to help.

I don’t want to go in to much detail here, I just wanted to let you know why I haven’t been around much lately. He’s doing a little better now, but I wish he could just get completely better so he doesn’t have to suffer.

Anyways, thanks for following me on this crazy journey we call life. I guess we have to take the good with the bad, right?

Ok, until next time.

See ya.
