Wittering about girly makeup stuff

The post wittering about C13 wardrobe plans has to wait until I've worked out my final list. (Yes, there is a list. Do you people have ANY IDEA the amount of clothing I am considering taking with me? Wait, you people probably do.)

The meta thinky post about the growing trend of cute skull merchandise (and smu, I do agree that the trend is is a modern interpretation of the memento mori, but I think there's more to it) has to wait until I have a smidge more time and brainspace, because I'd like my meta thinky post to be, oh, I don't know, ARTICULATE. Or as articulate as I can manage these days.

Besides, I'm pretty sure most of you peoples only read my LJ for the random wurbling about clothes and makeup anyway. ::wink::

( With that said, on to the shallow cosmetics natter! )

Goodness, that went on for longer than I expected. And kinda babbly. But look at it this way; since it's an LJ post, you've been spared the waving of hands and even more tangents!

Waaaant. Oh gracious, want.

This has been posted in several communities, but just in case you DIDN'T see it, or didn't bother clicking through the cut-tag:

Deathrock-y Victorian-esque fabulousness. Plus a pink & black striped corset!

Some day I need someone to help me assemble a Miss Haversham from beyond the grave! style of outfit/makeup/hair. Every time I play around with it myself, the whole thing veers into Crazy Bag Lady territory.
