Lawwl...took a kava kava pill, so I should be off in dreamland pretty soon. Kava kava is an herb you can get in any GNC that calms you and relaxes your nerves. It also makes me feel kind of snuggly, like when you fall asleep in sheets that have just come out of the dryer.
So I ended up doing the modeling thing. It was funny, the chick paid me my 50 bucks and I promptly spent 27.50 of it on the makeup she used on me for the demonstration, lol. I think overpriced makeup is all a plot of the patriarchy to keep women down. Anyway, I hate to cooperate with said patriarchy, but if any women who wear lipstick end up reading this journal, go out and buy "Viva glam 4" by MAC. All proceeds of the lipstick's sales go to AIDS research and it is quite possibly the best looking/textured lipstick i've encountered in a long time. It works great layered with a clear gloss. As for color, it is slightly similar to the color in Claudia's fancy set, so it works well with light/olive colored skin tones. Its a gift from the heavens. Besides, who doesn't want to look hot and help stop AIDS at the same time?
Anyway, the woman, Jessie, was very nice and we hung out at a cafe for an hour before the demonstration. She said the BEST line; she goes, "Man, you don't even know about the girls that responded. I mean, I was a bartender for a hip-hop club and i've seen a lot of ho's in my life. A LOT of ho's. But damn...these girls had crispy hair." I think I nearly choked on my croissant. When we got there, her supervisors were surprised that I wasn't the model she hired and blasted me with so many compliments that I ended up blushing excessively and giggling like the Catholic schoolgirl I am. Hey, i'm half Asian, we're supposed to cover our mouths and giggle hysterically when we're embarassed according to the stereotype. Anyway, it wasn't really the best makeover i've ever had, but not the worst either. She did an OK job. I loved the color she picked on my lips though, (Viva Glam 4) and have now converted to MAC for lip color. Urban Decay has sold out for the YM generation; I miss their evil, dark thick shadows and have lost a little respect for them. Ah, I should probably shut up, mostly guys read my journal and this is probably boring the hell out of them.
OK, the Kava's making me cuddly and nonsensical...night night.

Oh yeah, sorry I got so fervent about Viva Glam 4; I was just happy that they were donating all of the proceeds to AIDS research, not like 2% or something like other fundraisers for AIDS.
Heh heh. I AM professional superhero, Digdug. I am the Bionic Femme, and my pseudonym is "Veronica Woods"...she's really one part Charlie's Angel and one part Posh Spice, bent on ending homophobia, AIDS, and homelessness forever with the powers of techno-erotica.
Oh yeah, who is sumgirl? I'll have to look for her member profile. Is she cute?
