Wicked - An Elphaba Inspired Look
Since getting the Urban Decay Oz The Great and Powerful palettes I have been wanting to do looks to represent Elphaba and Glenda from the Broadway Musical "Wicked"...well I've finally achieved a look inspired by Elphaba. Elphaba (being my favorite character) has sharp cheekbones and deep hollow eyes to make her more "wicked". In this look I tried to recreate her green face in my eyes with the Jealous color from the palette and smoke out the color to make a hollow deep set eye with browns and dark green. I also tried to achieve the sharp cheekbones by contouring my cheeks heavily and using a bright dark red blush. To go along with the Wicked show poster I went with a red lip. I hope you enjoy watching how I go this look as much as I enjoy the musical and the makeup used to create it.
The Bachelorette Blog will be To Be Continued until next week. I need to have a mind break from what I have had to witness in that show. This season is straight up horrible.

~The Bachelorette~ 6/3/13 - The First Dates
This weeks Bachelorette was nothing much to be desired. It lacked intrigue and basically couldn't really keep my attention. I didn't miss a second of it though, but only so I could write to you all about how lame this week was. I even recorded it (but only so my parents who were out of town could watch it...who also thought this week was as lame as unseasoned chicken).
The first one-on-one date was with Brooks. Their first stop (because it wouldn't be a Bachelor(ette) show without multiple stops in one date) was at Winnie Couture Bridal Fashion. The two dressed up in different tuxedos and bridal gowns respectively and left the store wearing a traditional black tux and bridal gown. Next stop was to a cupcake street truck to do a "cake tasting". They then went to the Hollywood sign where they shared their first kiss. Nothing to steamy with that...would have been nice to have a steamy kiss while overlooking Los Angeles, but whatever. Also while I was watching this scene I was reminded of another Bachelor moment being at the Hollywood sign...can't ABC think of anything else than this setting??? Moving on. Brooks and Des finished their date by driving into the "ghetto" of LA and moving "Road Closed" signs (obviously set up by ABC) to end up upon a table set up for their dinner on a bridge that looks back on the city. They had a private concert and danced. Needless to say Brooks got the rose and is still with us. --OHHHH one more things I want to mention...when they pulled away from the house in the beginning of the date Michael G had made a comment about the Bentley being "baby blue"...he is a true guy to not know that it is "robins egg blue"...geesh..LOL
The first group date...all I have to say about this one...HORRIBLE CHOICE. I did not enjoy it one bit. Very annoying. Ugh..I wish I had never seen this. On this group date was Dan, Juan Pablo, Zack K, Will, Brian, Drew, Mikey T, Michael G, Brandon, Ben, Kasey, James, Zak W, and I think one other guy but can't recall who, but does it matter? Not to me. So the group date note Des sent to the guys said "Who is here for the right reason?", which led the date to make a music video called "The Right Reasons" featuring Soulja Boi, which in my opinion was the highlight seeing someone other that the bad hair and makeup Des and the cry baby men. Des mentioned as this date was starting that she "never had to juggle 14 men in my life..." Uhh no one really has unless you are a prostitute that does more than one man at a time. I digress. The whole shooting of the music video was a total mess. The men were all sabotaging each other in some way by distraction and poking fun. If they were smart they would have supported one another to show Des that they are mature and have a sense of caring about them...but apparently they were all raised by wolves. After the video shoot was done, they had a cocktail time (like usual group dates), and Zak W. gave Des an antique journal that was inscribed by the original owners. He wanted to show her that he was just a jokster by giving her something serious. HA. During this group date Ben seemed to be ABC focus for being the jackass guy that everyone can't stand. Why is it that in every season there has to be one. Can't the cast just be normal people with normal egos??? A handful of the guys can't stand him and say that it is his attitude and he just rubs them wrong. What is happening in the house when cameras are rolling for him to rub guys wrong??? {My mind goes there sometimes} When Ben was talking to Des he, of course, used his son to win her over. {LEAVE CHILDREN OUT OF IT!}. He then kisses her and the sound was atrocious!!! Also during this date Mikey T pulls Ben aside to discuss Ben's swooping in on other guys time with Des. Ben does not listen. Ben got the rose...*BARF*
The second one-on-one date was with Bryden. It was a "Road Trip". The two got road snacks, Bryden paid (why didn't they just walk out cause ABC got the tab anyway?) and headed to the beach where the flew a kite and Des even wrote B+D with a heart around it in the sand. Their next location was at an orange orchard where they picked ONE orange (on film anyway) and sat and had a snack type picnic. Des offered Bryden Brie cheese and he said he "didn't know what that is." So adorable. For the end of their date they headed off to the Ojai Valley Inn & Spa to have dinner and discus Bryden's car accident and how that lead him to the military (he also said that he always wanted to join the military). The ended up in the jacuzzi where Bryden was so adorable saying in many different ways how the date was so awesome and you could tell he wanted to kiss her. Des said "just kiss me already". She also said in her interview that "this is the best road trip I've ever had." He also got the rose.
FINALLY - The Rose Ceremony -
Brian looks like a slick backed weasel. He creeps me out. I have a theory about him and Ben, but I'll address that at the end. Ben showed his swooping skills again, on Michael G. This really pissed me out because Michael G. was sharing that he is diabetic with Des and that is something important that she should know and Ben ruined it. I dislike you Ben! After Ben stole Des away they went off somewhere away from the guys, Ben called it "Hide and Seek" (such a immature pecker wood). He tells Des that they have a secret (which will reoccur next week, according to the preview), that the have kissed and Ben is delusional in the fact that Des hasn't kissed anyone else. Whatever! The guys confront Ben as a group about his swooping in...again he doesn't listen, doesn't care. After confronting Ben Zak W. brought up that Ben had said previously that he has a bar and how other bachelors have come on the show with one bar and end up with five. THANK GOD THIS EPISODE IS DONE!!!
The guys we said goodbye to this week:
Will - thinks he put himself too far in the friend zone
Robert - said that going home was a nightmare
Nick M - felt pretty rejected
OKAY - on to my theory - The previews to this season have showed a woman showing up saying she is one of the guys' girlfriend. (This will be happening next week). It is either Ben who had his son with a "good friend" and that the both of them wanted a child and decided to have one together but not be together. Um okay. Or the girlfriend belongs to Brian. When he was talking to Des during the rose ceremony he told her that his last relationship ended just two months prior to him coming on to the show. These two men are skeeze balls if you ask me. Either way.
So all in all this episode was just a big disappointment. The guys are all drama and tears. Telling their sob stories to get sympathy and hopefully a rose. They all just need to pull their balls out of their back pockets and man up. And I have to say Des has some bad hair days...like everyday. And makeup that is less than desirable.
From the previews next week - some of the guys get in a fight and one goes to the ER via ambulance. The "girlfriend" shows up, and of course guys go home and cry.
My prediction for the last man standing has change to either Bryden or God forbid Ben.
