The best halloween makeup this year
This year has been a fabulous year for Halloween makeup and I must say I have seen some fantastical faces this year.For the celebration, people in Mexico set up vibrantly colored altars to honor the dead. Usually the altars are adorned with various flowers and amusing-looking skulls, called calaveras. These are some great examples of Mexican makeup this year !
Take a Different Drug Every Day and create a master piece
In 1995, a fabulous artist called Bryan Lewis Saunders started a crazy project to create a new self portrait every day for the rest of his life. This does sound alright but some of the portraits are being made under the influence of various drugs. Which I totally disagree with but I think that the experiment is very interesting to look at from the point of view of a scientist or just looking at the effects of different drugs !
By now, he has created about 8,000 self-portraits and within weeks [of the experiment] he became lethargic and suffered mild brain damage. Which is very unfortunate as he is so talented .
He still continued the project, but under medical supervision and continued becoming ill .The series of portraits are very interesting and even educational I think .
I really like these pictures and I think they are incredible to compare to each other and the way they are painted with the different colours reflects how the drug makes you feel I think.
Don’t try this at home. My favourite painting is the Marijuana because of the hypnotising look.
Psilocybin Mushrooms Absinth
Cocaine Crystalmeth
Marijuana
Hash
Salvia Divinorum Morphine
Hurricane Sandy
The horrendous hurricane Sandy has been awful and I really hope that It sorts itself out and that everyone is ok . This natural disaster however has left some very extraordinary and dramatic sights ! Below are some of the most dramatic I think !

The Cambridge Satchel Company
You may have seen the adverts on Google chrome about how this wonderful leather satchel company was started in 2008 by Julie Deane and her mother Freda Thomas as a way to pay private school fees for Deane's children. This lady clearly has some determination !Her colourful handmade leather satchels are all based on an original Oxford and Cambridge satchel design and they were aiming the design at young school children !
But they met high demand as a fashion accessory.
The fashion craze made production of the satchels increase from three homemade items a week to 1,500 in 2011, and turnover increased from ₤15,000 to an 8 million in 2011 which is incredible !The satchels are clearly brilliantly thought out and they have both modern and classic designs going from the Fluoro pink satchel to the deep red downing satchel !
My personal favourite is the green fluoro because its such a classic design in such a modern bright colour !
Many celebrities have been seen with the satchels as well !
Those caps....... the snap back
They are the caps that you see Gangsta blads wearing with a hood on top. The snap back cap is in fashion but we don't want to go the wrong way about it do we now?They can look gorgeous but you have to plan around it as they aren't the most practical of accessories . EG Hat hair !
They have been seen on the catwalk . Yes I know the CATWALK !!!
Don't buy one that says 'Obey' or 'Badman' because that's just a bit odd !
Keep in keeping with the 'bow' trend and rock this snap back ! A great accessory for your preppy outfits. The front features a large White starred bow tie with a solid Red backdrop. Of course, you can find the snaps in the back. It costs £22 from ASOS.com ! They have been featured in a select few fashion shows but they seem to be rising in popularity !
Don't be the same old 'monster' or 'obey' cap try something a bit different that will get noticed !My current favourite has to be the Kings & Queens Original Embellished Snap back Cap from Prettylittlething.com !
It is blingage to the maximum and with that amount of studs you have to be careful not to em pail someone !
Spraytect - protection goes mobile
What to do , Buy yourself a Spraytect case for your iPhone or phone alike this .Spraytect is a phone case with a detachable pepper spray cartridge .The smartphone case and personal protection device is rolled into one. Each case is outfitted with detachable cartridge that is filled with military grade pepper spray (habanero peppers is the main ingredient). It is currently available to purchase in several colors for use on iPhones .
As long as it is used correctly I think this is a fabulous invention and fabulous fashion and practicalitly for you and your phone !
It also comes in a wide variety of colours ! It costs just £25 so I think its a brilliant investment !
