OMG. Lipstick BOREDOM

The Makeup Majesty is in DIRE NEED of a new lipstick. Don't get me wrong, I have enough lipsticks to fill an entire file cabinet with. But one is too pinky, one is too coral, one is too sparkly (you get the idea). So, I need suggestions on a new lipstick to try!

I've been toying with the idea of trying Chanel's Coco Rouge, but i'm not sure what shade yet. In Allure, it seems like the color of the season is PLUM, which ..uhhh would look miserable on me HA!

For those of you who read my blog regularly, you know what I like =) I love bubblegum pinks, dark pinks, certain nudes, etc. I'm not huge on red lips - I love it on other people, just not so much on myself. If I found a red that I LOVED, of course i'd give it a try.

What do you guys think? Any suggestions on fall shades? xoxo

Rihanna's Fragrance

Just like seemingly EVERY celebrity out there, Rihanna is coming out with her own fragrance "Reb'l Fleur." Loving the bottle, very unique, just like the singer!

I came across the image while I was on Cocoperez (such a guilty pleasure) and thought it was interesting. What do you guys think of the bottle & name? Are you getting sick of celebrity fragrances?

The Makeup Majesty Sans...Makeup?

How do you feel sans makeup? Did you just SHREAK? Or could you "do without it?"

I always have makeup on when I leave the house, but I wouldn't exactly say that I look horrible without it. I just like wearing it. Certain people seem almost dependent upon it...like they couldn't LIVE without it (well..maybe I feel like that sometimes ha..)

So where is the line? Always makeup, or just sometimes? I'm going to assume there is no "never" makeup people if they are reading makeup blogs =P

This is a rework of a painting which I had briefly posted here a few weeks ago.

Beauty Quote of the Day

"Women have two weapons - cosmetics and tears."

This and that

I spent some time on Sunday painting in the cafe at the Minnesota Historical Society. Here's a bad Netbook photo of a portrait of Archbishop Nienstedt, in progress-



-and scanned later at home-


That's the now infamous 'Preserving Marriage In Minnesota' DVD above his head. I've started this portrait by painting mostly just the midtones.  Now that the general impression of the portrait is established I can work on the details.

I have a number of commissions lately that I'm having a difficult time finishing.  Sometimes you just get into a funk and nothing looks right.  I dislike sending out paintings I know could be better, if I could only wait for that period of time when I felt rested and positive.

I recently finished this portrait of Farrah Fawcett which I originally auctioned a while back on Ebay.  I knew the bidder was a regular collector who wouldn't be too concerned if I tried to work this into something better, so I took advantage of his friendship, but I think he ended up with a better painting-



It finally has that painfully vibrant '70's technicolor TV look which I was originally trying for.

Candysilk on Ebay is another regular collector who received two portraits of Michael Jackson after a long delay at British Customs.  I suspect the customs agents took the paintings out of their package and displayed them in their offices for a few weeks before finally passing them along. I started this replacement portrait of MJ before her paintings finally arrived, but she's been such a patient fan I'm finishing the painting and sending it to her as a gift anyway-


-almost completed....

Little Miz Mixi is a professional lyricist who discovered my portrait of Michael Jackson and Tupac Shakur online and asked for a larger copy.  Completed, but it needs that few more hours to make it something special....



Harley's portrait, still sitting on my drawing board.  So sorry, Diane!-


Even though I have all of these unresolved projects, I've begun a new Barack Obama Nude On A Unicorn painting which I call 'The Rescue Of The Chilean Miners.'  Here's a sketch-



I'm trying for something comparable to my 'Wall Street Obama' painting from last year-

The Martyrdom Of Glenn Beck Painting Auction

Revised from a few days ago, a painting which I call 'The Martyrdom Of Glenn Beck.'  I made so many changes to the image I decided to pull the auction and relist it on Ebay as a completely new painting.



This painting features Glenn Beck autographing Jesus Christ's lioncloth at a Washington D.C. anti Obama Tea Party rally. This is the same Christ that appeared in my 'You Are Not Alone' Michael Jackson painting from last year. Glenn wears a crown of dripping teabags on his head beneath a fake halo. 'Cigar Guy' and a few additional personages appear in the background as well.

Temporary Tattoos - Just For Kids or Adult Accessory?

OK, I actually might consider getting one, so fierce! For those who haven't heard, Beyonce is launching a line of temporary tattoos for her brand House of Dereon. The designs are sexy, edgy & cool and bring a playfullness and sex appeal to the collection.

What do you guys think...just for kids or new adult accessory?

MAC's Venomous Villains

Me - Channeling my Inner Cruella, of Course =)

I love this launch! Like many, i'm a Disney FREAK. My parents took my brother and I almost every August to Disney World, where we would have "breakfast with the characters," visit Magic Kingdom, lounge by the pool and buy LOTS of souvenirs!

So I purchased the Evil Queen - Strange Potion Lipglass:

A nice beigey-pink, so pretty! Nice and fresh for the fall, but still warm and flattering.


I think MAC did an awesome job with taking the evil characters and translating them into color stories. I love the red lips they gave Cruella and the Evil Queen. I also love how they added Dr. Facilier into the mix. Being as - #1 he's a guy and #2 he's a newer Disney character. Being as these items are VERY limited and certain items are already sold out, get them while you can!

What is YOUR favorite evil creature? Share! xo

Two New Obama Unicorn Paintings, In Progress

I usually begin a new Obama Unicorn painting by applying an oil wash directly onto the canvas without any sort of acrylic underpainting. The washes themselves become layers of underpainting.  This particular technique requires a solid block of time to finish the painting from beginning to end.

The first new 'Barack Obama Nude On A Unicorn' painting is a commission featuring Justin Bieber, Obama, the patron, Penelope the Unicorn, and House. The first wash is painted very roughly, but I usually won't deviate too much from the initial design as the painting progresses. From this point forward its just a matter of refinement.



The second painting is inspired by Ke$ha's Tik Tok.



Thanks to The New Yorker news blog for the include.

Here's a selection of recent posts and references of my paintings which I've discovered in my referrer stats-
