Hey Reader, As promised, I said I would regale you with my amazing makeup skills. Amazing is an interesting word. It doesn't actually apply that something is great, just that it is something that you can be affected by. You will be affected by my makeup skills. However, they are most certainly not great. My first step was to cover my face in foundation, rendering me all one color. I want my face to be a blank canvas. Blank canvases don't typically have noses or blemishes. We can cover at least one of those things. I am pretty clueless, I just bought something called foundation that looked like a color I wanted, not really caring if it in any way matched my skin tone. As you can see, it isn't a perfect match. Then again, this isn't a perfect drag experience so I guess it fits. Contouring is when you re-add all the color variations on your skin that you just worked so hard to get rid of. Except this time, you try to make your shadows more extreme in some areas, ...

Hey Reader, Life has gotten pretty crazy busy and I would love to be doing more making. However, I am forced to stick to planning and plotting my next project. I have become obsessed with the Positive Couple and Chester on Youtube. While the specific tastes highlighted on these channels might not match mine - far from it - I can't help but be in awe of the craftsmanship. I really want to get into making furniture, but the prospect is very intimidating. Then, I was introduced to Facebook Marketplace. I definitely knew about it existing already, I got all the obnoxious targeted ads. However, I never looked at it closely because - obnoxious targeted ads. One of my friends was getting a new headboard off of it and that is when I realized the power of this amazing new toy. I found my first purchase that very day. Ignore the stacks on stacks of wall plaster and appreciate this amazing vanity! It was only a hundred dollars and I have big plans for it! First, I need to decide w...

Hey reader! I had two looks to put together for that murder mystery party. I was to portray America's sweetheart: Miss Magenta. My brief was that she would be wearing a full length gown with fur and jewels. I set out looking for an outfit that would be 50's inspired and fit the bill. I found Simplicty pattern 8731 . I cite this pattern as mild inspiration because I deviated pretty sharply from it. A few Halloweens ago, I made a dress that had a large poofy skirt using all the tulle that I could find. I decided despite it being purple and black, it would be perfect to give my dress shape. Plus no one would be able to see the color under my gown. Since I was Miss Magenta, everything would be dazzlingly pink - of course. First problem I encountered was that this pattern was the petite version. I don't know if they sold it in other sizes, but it was definitely going to be too small for my man sized body. Further, I found the skirt pattern in 8731 unnecessarily complicated...
