Well that was fun! I was kind of on edge about putting make up on three people (one a kid- never done a kid before) that I did not know. I had meet the one a few times, wife of one of my guys, but the other two not face to face.
They just left - child was a vampire with glitter red and black eyes. I gave her black hollow cheeks and a red lip with a shiney gloss. I did not do a heavy liner or brow on her as she was just so cute. I did do some rinestones on her- black and clear- as she wanted stars.
Her mom was going to the party in a orange/ black witch outfit so I did a copper, orange, black look on her gray eyes that just looked great. A copper lipstick and she looked like a fall witch. She wanted the black cheeks that I added a bronzer to.
And the one lady I knew has scars on her face so I had to adjust the make up a little for her. She was going in a black outfit with a cape that had white skulls. She had no idea what she wanted to go with as far as make-up so I wanted her face to give me a clue.
She has the most lovely blue eyes so it was a dark blue with a irredesant (can't spell it) over it that spark white when she moved her head. I did a black lipstick on her and she was great looking. I also did a blue cut line and blended it out into her cheek bone that looked freaky. :)
They had a blast with it and seemed to loved the looks. I LOVED doing it. I can't wait to hear Monday how the party went from the one's husband. Makes me really want to do other peoples make up. :)
Would love to show picture of them as they said they would send me one when they once get in their custumes but I would not feel right posting them here, really not with a child.
But that is ok... I loved doing it. :)

Kat Von D make-up is a total waste of money. I understand make-up reacts different to a person's body but ...
The lipstick lid will not stay on the tube, it bleeds like crazy, and will not stay on longer then half a hour. Between picking the hair out of it because the lid is in another spot in my purse, I am giving up on it. Nice color- but NOT something I will buy again.
And the eye shadow...not the best. Blending is good but they fade within a few hours.
The primer is a not worth a dime either.
No more Kat Von D make-up for me.

The Camp Wildcat civil war reenactment was this weekend. Birdy and I use to do this about every weekend …16 years ago or so. We went to this very reenactment those many years ago as Birdy knew the man who was running it at the time. For little over a year we went to others, tent, sleeping outside and all. It got too much for me as we would leave after I got off work, drove all night, set up in the dark, sleeping outside with hay all around on fresh mowed fields, then packing it in on Sunday afternoon and driving home for work on Monday. I just burned out on it big time.
Forward 14 years and you find Birdy the president of the reenactment of Camp Wildcat. Me? I sometimes go to the event, enjoy it. Because I wanted to take some pictures this year I got up yesterday and went out around 9:00am, a hour before it open to the public. Have to say- walking around the camp in the chilled misty weather I kind of missed it. Just a little- not enough to buy a dress and start up again. But to enjoy going to others as a member of the general public- yes. In fact I think next weekend I might go to another one in the area, have a nice Saturday.
While I am not a professional photographer by any stretch like our friend Danna who is the “event photographer” I was just having fun with my camera. While Danna takes photos to sale, video of the battle, website images I was just seeing if I could get any nice pictures. I have no training, other then what I have read, so when I woke up to a gray overcast day I wasn’t expecting anything. I mean… I am not the best at taking pictures of people I don’t know. My least favorite pictures to take in fact. But I do have an eye for detail and I don’t freaking care how good the shot is…if the wrapping from McD’s is in the pictures on the table... it sucks. I went to take pictures thinking of the history, of doing the events myself, of why you give your time and energy to this. You are trying to bring the past to life. To show what it was like during that time, and how it changed our lives by showing how different it was.
I took about 300 pictures and kept about 50 I will give to Birdy to do with as she will, if anything. I had fun taking them, walking around the camps, petting the horses and that is all I could ask for. But I wanted to show a few here and what I saw as I took them. If you take the time to look- hope you enjoy them.
A little boy who plays with a wooden sword…wanting to grow up and be a solider like his father?
I dare you to try and come over that hill.
If your father, son was a solider…could you just walk by without looking into the dead men’s faces?
Father and son in real life.
As the field doctor looks into the fire- what does he see? What does he remember?
Camp life…when you had supplies and time to have a camp that is. Most soldiers never had it so good.
The man who changed history standing in front of the United States flag.
I look at this picture and see older man…the two younger men in front, possible sons?
Leading men to their battle, maybe death.
Ghost figures in the black powder smoke… a sight to see in those days as you lie dying in a field far from home.
The fire of hell rains down on you…BOOM!
So young to see such horror.
Horse and rider are both wild eyed.
I love the foreground of these horses as it seems to put you right there.
