All That And A Bag of Chips

Today I sat on a panel discussion for OSM. I thought I would be the least prepared, knowledgeable fraudulent blogger there. Why? Because it's all well and good when I tell you to love yourself, but when it comes to me...well, it turns out that I really was not the least prepared and that I actually had a few good things to say and that I did refrain from calling some people a slut, but did refer to it obliquely and got a laugh. Actually, I got a few laughs. Maybe I should try stand up again. There's nothing more delicious than getting a bunch of laughs. Okay, a few things, but that's a good one.

The babysitter got here and did something that thwarted my time, I will not be specific, in the world of mommyhood everything is up for discussion but that's because we live in the human jungle of body fluids. Anyone with a child over seven or with no children at all, I will spare you. But that put me back 25 minutes, which is alot for a girl who cannot give herself a decent blowout. I wore Armani Foundation 5.5 from my kit, Christian Dior Medium Beige Concealer with that MAC corrective pen that's sort of a knock off of Touche Eclat over it in the peachy color. Dude, I so need Amazing Concealer. Laura Mercier Translucent Powder stolen from my kit. The eyeshadow: Belissima by Nars and then a black Laura Gellar (I got it in a Shecky's Goody Bag, that's why - but it's the perfect combo of deep, dark black and smudginess and stablity, I really like it) all around, inside and outside my eye and then Night Breed by Nars over that all around my eye, extending it out on the ends (even more underneath, I didn't want it to look too cat-eyed and '80's because I could looks so '80's if I wanted to) and then Volumious. Cherche cream blush by MAC under the cheekbones and over that (cream over powder, you ask? I could not find my hint or fade by Stila, which I took out and was sitting underneath papers) and then Nars Angelika blush. Just a little on the apples. Lips: MAC Subculture lipliner, Kiehl's Orange Blossom Lipgloss(discontinued, boo hoo), that Sephora #77 lipstick I just got Helena Rubenstein sparkly/purpley lip gloss that's discontinued and kicked out of the US - I only use for special occasions. I kept layering those. If you have the chance to put on a few layers of lipstick and lip gloss, starting with the gloss, it's much higher maintenance but it looks better. Plus I like to re-apply a thousand times and run my fingers through my hair not to be rude or call attention to myself, but because I'm an anxious fidget.

All black and glitter, pointy toed stilletos. And a few good things to say. But my hair is a disaster. I did the best I could but did not have time for a blow out.

Then I went on an audition. Now, it's back to the kid, who thinks I'm a star already.
