Happy Halloween!!!!!!!!

So wow...I went as Peg Bundy to a Halloween party last night. I learned that Peg Bundy is too high maintenance for my liking. With her high heels, claw-like fake nails, big hooped earrings, goddy jewelry, non-stop smoking cigs, brightly colored red hair, and red lipstick, I thought I looked like a scary mess when I was all Peggified...yet think I did a good job of pulling off the Peg look. The Party I went to was fun. The couple who hosted had been decorating their house for about 2 weeks and it looked like a haunted house. They hired a dj and had good food, dance floor, and some costume contests. I did see some other awesome costumes and some lame ones too, but it was a good time. Here is a picture of the happy couple...Peggy and Al Bundy. And by the way, that is my real hair that took me a long time to curl, back comb, and spray the shit out of to get that look. My hair is colored blond, and let me tell you it was a bitch to get that shit out. Oh but it was worth it for the costume:)

Sara the Riveter

 
So today I got a little bored and decided to do a pinup makeup look. Today's pinup is me...Sara the Riveter. Of course my inspiration was a combination of Rosie the Riveter and my favorite makeup artist, Kandee Johnson. Basically all you need is a bandanna, eyeliner, and lipstick. Lots of dark eyeliner is the key to the pinup eye and maybe some fake lashes for fun as well. Bright red or hot pink lipstick will do for the lips...bright, bright, bright and luscious. I didn't do my bandanna exactly as Rosie wore hers back in the day, but still a nice version I think...and much easier for someone who has a ton of hair like myself:) Here is me with my pinup look and also one of Rosie. ENJOY!!!!

Sunday Funday

Today was a productive day filled with exercise, shopping, makeup, cooking, and relaxing. I went for a 15 mile bike ride at Bush Park...I will upload a picture of my sweet beach cruiser I rode on. Shopping included a Halloween store, and the grocery store. I decided on a costume that I will put together myself of Peg Bundy, and will later upload a picture of that after my party.Spent an hour atgrocery store and bought enough food to feed the fricken neighborhood :) I made a fabulous dinner tonight all on the grill including, filet mignon, bacon wrapped prawns with a jalapeƱo slice in the middle, grilled red potatoes, asparagus, and some marinated chicken breasts that didn't get eaten because I stuffed myself with other food first. To top that off I had a delicious iced tea vodka beverage with lemon and lime. 

Upcoming things in my blog will include various things I do in my everyday life.
