I rarely paint my *nails* any more. I painted them in rainbow last night. red on the left pinky to blue on the left thumb and then blue to deep red through purple on the right starting at the right thumb in blue. I had to mix the orange myself, but it came out nicely. Granted, I need a new yellow now. heh.
Channel makes me shake my fist. I sometimes like the concept of their couture clothing lines, but they always good *too far* with an idea. I don't mean too big, I mean too tacky. Like the "dragged through blood" concept they did last year. I love the concept, but it looked more like "dragged through bright red paint" in the execution. Or they will take an otherwise fabulous garment and then do something stupid like add fringe or big pallette sequins to it, so it goes right straight through to gaudy.
and you have heard me rant on more than 50 occassions about their coarse pigment grinds, use of dreadful ingrediants, and the horrendous quality of their products. I LOATHE them.
and the makeup reviewers in the fashion magazines that worship them but blow over the really good stuff (like... oh... I dunno... Make-Up Forever, for instance), well... let's just say that it makes it easier for me to ignore those magazines forever from there. These aren't reviews, these are advertisements and are paid for with product and perks (invite to the backstage of a rock concert anyone?).
me, jaded? never. :|
oh, and to them I say "keep your cheesy little trend following, fashion backward, illiterate, bland, boorish, vapid, claws off my subculture"
I should do a makeup review site/blog on the internet one of these days. Really get down and dirty about this stuff, maybe it would educated a few of these morons. But I doubt it.
