A Casey Anthony Nude Painting Gallery

A collection of my nude paintings of Casey Anthony. Counting the painting in progress at the end of this post, I've painted nine 'Caseys'-

You can read more about the painting above, which is currently listed for auction in the adult section on Ebay, in my previous post.

A new Casey Anthony painting, in progress. I should have this finished and up for auction on Ebay later this evening. I'm calling this painting 'Casey Anthony Mask Kiss'-

Casey Anthony Nude Mask Disguise Painting

Ebay removed the listing for my surreal 'Casey Anthony Nude Mask Disguise' painting because in their own explanation Casey's legs are spread in the painting and the image could therefore be taken as salacious. I'm not surprised, as I did receive a number of complaints regarding the painting and I imagine these same people complained to Ebay as well. However, the painting wasn't removed because it was a nude of Casey Anthony, which I thought was pretty keen. Just before the painting was de-listed it was at a high bid of $270 with 76 watchers and four days in the auction to go.

This is actually a pretty nifty painting.

I relisted the painting as per Ebay's suggestion in the Adult / Art / Paintings category. You will need to be verified to view the listing, but here it is-

Tempted to post originals in the adult category as since the last visit a few years ago I now notice they've seemed to have decided to accommodate entirely erotic subject matter judging from the Everything Else > Adult Only > Erotic Art & Nudes > Paintings > Special Interest sub-category which includes suggestions such as 'ass-to-mouth' 'cum-swap' and 'big pussy.' You go, Ebay!

My Swanky, Swell, Puttin on the Ritz 1940's Look

OK maybe it's not all that swanky, but the makeup and costumes from Captain America inspired me to take a stab at a 40's look of my own. I tried putting my own twist on it - using pink lips instead of brick red, and using a bit of gold eyeshadow. Enjoy!

My lovely vintage earrings from one of my bests - thanks Mel!

A simple eye - a touch of liquid liner, Bobbi Brown gold shadow

and lots of mascara on the outer corners to make the eyes look bigger

The key is to start the liquid liner in the middle of the eye lid -

start off with a thin line and make it thicker at the corner

The shadow makes it look polished, but you don't need it

Sometimes I like the liner and mascara alone

MAC's Haute & Naughty mascara is still my go-to mascara

It's nice and thick - really makes the eyes pop

I used MAC's Chatterbox lipstick for this look

I've had this lipstick forever and still go back to it

Aaaaand the finished product!

I wore a flowery dress,

moussed some waves into my hair,

and put the front pieces of my hair back with a little clip

The end! You can swap out the pink lips for a dark red for a more retro look,

I just think pink works better for me =)

Boring Shadows Need Not Apply

Remember when you used to buy eye shadows that were just one color? Not anymore. How boring, right? Ever since the baked eye shadow craze hit a few years back, tons of companies have been coming out with their own creations of wild shadows - swirled, baked, silk-screened, patterned, multi-colored, you name it. Here are some of my favorites - some new, some a bit older:

Vincent Longo

Milani

Rimmel

Maybelline

Milani

MAC's Quite Cute

Burberry

MAC's Semi Precious

MAC's Tartan Tale (Holiday collection)

Laura Mercier Baked Shadows

MAC in Lillyland

Too Faced Baked Shadows

Favorites? I am lusting over the Vincent Longo shade!!!

Captain America - Retro 1940's Loveliness

I saw Captain America over the weekend and loved it! Aside from it being an entertaining movie, the retro 1940's makeup, hair and costumes were so awesome!

Steve Rogers and Peggy Carter. I love how her uniform includes a pencil skirt.

Dancers on stage with Captain America ha! The hats make the outfit for me...

Classic 40's look - bold lip and brows, a bit of mascara. Hair parted to the side.

Sexy, but not overdone

Another shot - that red lipstick didn't leave her face the entire movie haha

Love it

Peggy's look in the movie reminded me a bit of Rita Hayworth from that era.

Glamorous and beautiful!

For a bit "modernized" 40's look, Dita kills it.

The brows & winged eye liner don't have to be as severe as hers,

but it's a good place to start if you're trying to recreate the look

What do you guys think, anyone else see the movie over the weekend? =)

MAC's New Viva Glam Spokespeople Are...

Ricky Martin and Nicki Minaj! I love this pairing! The campaign is set to launch in February 2012. Ricky is only the 3rd male model used in MAC's Viva Glam campaign (the others were Elton John and Boy George).

I cannot wait to see this photoshoot! Nicki's career is on fire right now, and Ricky has made a major comeback lately, especially after coming out of the closet and adopting his twins!
