     Iz so Ol'Skool! |
PLAGUE was 17 metric tons of awesome last night!! O.O The vibe was fantastic and the music was good (hats off to Rev. Benjamin Powers, 8-bit, and Chasm!) though the sounds slipped a little off the theme towards the end. But, I, not being a fan of so called old school, didn't mind that at all. I'm a sucker for someone throwing in a little Rage in the middle of a goth-ish set. I get a little tingle between my legs. Not only is there delicious contrast in the juxtaposition, RATM is one of my favorite bands of all time. Their song Freedom makes the Native in me want to kill the Whitey in me. Last night, people were just in a tremendous mood. Like life was good. Or maybe it was just me feeling good and coloring the perceived world around me in shades of awesome. But, I hope that wasn't just my delusion and everyone was indeed on The Up. I was rather bouncy. Bouncing off walls and into people. Tackling. Mock-humping. The works. The thing is, I've just felt so incredible lately. Besides all the usual frustrations, I felt in a state I hadn't felt in... well... to be quite honest I'm not sure I have ever felt this good. I'll ramble more about this in a "friend's only" post... This night, this event, is such an incredible thing for me. A haven of sorts. I don't mean to get all gushy on ya, but after a week of everyone looking at you like a freak (beyond just the gothiness...), feeling very awkward and alone, its nice to have a place to go to be an awkward freak with others. Sadly, the night seemed to go by so quickly. I did a little sketching, nothing fancy. If I can get my camera recharged before I finish this entry I will include a photo of the sketch. I really liked how I looked last night! I was totally rocking the fishnet! And I wore my corset, even though one of the bones is broken and is likely just rubbing around causing damage (to myself or the corset). :\ I thought my make-up turned out okay. I used three different color eyes shadows. A bright purple as the base across my entire lid, and above my lid til just a tick below my eyebrow. I then did a layer of deep red over the lid and a short line out towards my temples, outlined my lid in a dark plum color, and then did another quick brush of the red for more "POP!" I did my lips in two shades of purple, but the effect was not very dramatic. I also lined my eyes and lips with that black gel eye liner that I love to death. I can never do ANYTHING with my hair. It's a curly, wavy, frizzy mess. My hair in these photos is not made-up for old school night. THIS is actually what my hair normally looks like if I don't tame it with any sort of product. Lord knows I could never tease it... I'd never be able to get the kinks out! People always tell me what fantastic, beautiful, thick hair I have, but I think it's a pain in the ass. This is why I usually wear it up, or cover it in falls or something. :) These pics aren't the greatest. The last one I wasn't going to include. I like it because the composition is very different from what I typically do in those quick pre-club photo shoots. However, the angle blows, as it also shows off my ENORMOUS nose! Anyways... good times. :)  Not much of a sketch, just my usual weirdo 'alternative anatomy' thing... |
