Happy Halloween!

Boo!

I saved the best for last. Every time I see this wig I am at a loss for words. Did the normal below-adequate model forget to come in so the poor intern was forced as a stand-in? Who knows.

In any case, I wrote a much more appropriate Halloween post last year about just how horrifying art in the 18th century could be. In the meantime, have fun, goons, and I'll be waiting for your 18th century costume pictures here.

Bad 18th Century Costume Halloween Countdown

Tomorrow is Halloween! I hope you have your costume ready. But, if not...


Did someone drown Cinderella? Or no, wait, this was the Ghost of Fashion Past that visited me one fateful night when I began to loose faith in Gautier. One thing I will give this costume, "Ghost of Marie Antoinette" is that it is, at least, original. However, the fact that there is only one view; and it doesn't show the front, probably means that the front isn't any better than the view we are allowed here.

TGIF

They're bringing sexy back...


Many thanks to Fabulastic who thought this would be most-appreciated by many of the readers over here.

Put on Your Face

If anyone will be spending Halloween night decked in 18th century-wear, you must have the face that goes with it. There are a few makeup tutorials out on Youtube that some of you may find helpful:

I am a fan MissChievous' many makeup tutorials which are fun and easy to follow. Believe it or not, I have yet to try this one!


I've posted this video before in terms of hair but it also includes a makeup tutorial.


Sephora just released this short 'Get the Look' video to go along with their new Glamour Revolution Pallett that I will have a hard time NOT buying.
