So i'm staying in the Good Ole' Third world mess.

hello fuckettes! I know its been forever since I've posted anything on here its just been craziness the past few weeks. In a nutshell, i was in financial ruin (whats new?) and due to that I needed to find a new place to live cuz the rent I was paying at my place in Makati was getting too much and my pay as a third world makeup artist is shit. so by the miracle of God I was able to find a roommate, a much cheaper (but equally glamorous) place and land as a finalist in the Maybelline makeup artists search AND do makeup for Philippines Next Top Model (our very own third world version of America's Next top Model)! Due to hardcore perservation, some good ole' planning & some awesome friends that believe in me I was able to get back up and dust my shoulders off in a record timing THREE DAYS!

Here's a pic of my new roomie, his name is Justin. He's a cutie patooty from Denmark. I never thought I would ever meet anyone from Denmark let alone live with one. We're both kind in the same boat. We're from foreign lands and we're both in the fashion industry cuz he's trying to make it as a model so we're both still kinda learning the ropes of how the fashion industry works here so its good support.


this is us drunk as hell doing the "zoolander lip purse" enjoy!


no seriously, my ass was a mess. I had to sell some shit to pay some bills off find a roommate (thanks Justin) and a new place that was within budget or else I will be forced to stay in shit Davao for an undisclosed amount of time while waiting for my ass to be deported back to the ghetto in DC. Cuz the crazy thing about it was that when I already made my mind up that I was just going to go back and I ended my lease at my apartment Maybelline and Philippines next top model calls me out of no where! I mean the Maybelline thing is a national search looking for the next big makeup artist here and they even resurrected a huge gala to present the finalists to the media at Ayala Museum. They made my rotund ass stand on a stage for 5 seconds so that the media can take my picture and publish them with circles drawn around my fat rolls and double chin trying to convince the anorexic public that I'm the next face of beauty HA! i was so embarrassed more so cuz they were doing a full body shot but they're more than welcome to do a close up on my face. but regardless I was doing my best doing my best interpretation of Anna Nicole Trim Spa poses to make me look a bit more curvy and a lot less lumpy! Either way, I love the flashes of cameras especially when they're pointing at me. Speaking of Anna Nicole can you believe she died!!?? What!? Too much drama! I have my own take on my opinon on Anna Nicole but we'll discuss that later.

So anyway, here are a few pics of me at the gala with some of the other finalists that I've become friends with



Oh i'm such a ham (no pun intended biatches!)

Did I tell you that I heard that it was going to be a national reality show! Yes people your very own is going to be gracing the out of date boob tubes of the third world representing glamour to the masses! Supposedly its going to be in the same vein as Project Runway but instead of designers its going to be makeup artists. hahaha. i'm not too worried cuz I'm confident with my skill I'm more worried looking like a hippo compared to all the small ass skinny bitches that run rampant in this country. Oh well, all i know is that I'll just try to win the public over with my witty banter and gayer than gay personality. hahaha!

So anyway, the very next day I did the Philippines Next Top Model shoot and after being a diva and arriving late (the fucking corrupt taxi drivers driving in circles cuz they know I don't know where i'm going) I get there all sweaty and paranoid thinking of how unprofessional I am but little did I know the stylist herself who's in charge of the damn shoot was late herself, how Filipino. So i felt better. Anyway, i was scared cuz I got an email from the show saying that I was too copy jpegs from like a magazine on the girls and I was pissed cuz I hate copying I like to think of shit on my own. So I came prepared with sketches and everything of looks just in case they gave me free reign. AND THEY DID! OOOOOHHHHooooo...let me tell you I was so excited! Cuz I could do whatever I wanted. They pretty much just said "crazy & colorful" HELLOOOO thats my speciality so here are some pics of what I did. But the concept of the shoot was colorful, high fashion, extreme makeup while the girls posed with giant pythons and iguanas while looking glamorous.

this look was inspired by like a Japanese Warrior/kabuki makeup done in a non traditional kind of way

this one was inspired by like classic beauty makeup but done in an abstract approach. not as crazy as the other two but still interesting while maintaining "pretty"

and this one was inspired by Japanese Anime. I wanted the look to be like "cartoony" but still glamorous

So those were the three girls that I ended up doing. They were so sweet and I wish them all the luck and hope that they win the top prize. It was such a fun shoot with fun people except that i was wearing no makeup and I was sweaty all the time due to the confined space, so many people and all the lights for the camera crew. my God I'm going to look a mess when that shit airs. Oh well.

So anyway, since then I've just been getting settled in my new abode I'll post pics of it once i've taken pictures of it. Its just that I've been traveling to Mega Mall a lot to use the free WiFi at Starbucks haha. i'm so ghetto. Anyway, I also did my first Albumn Cover!!! I'm so excited. It was as the rest of them a last minute call asking me to do the makeup for the shoot. Its for this new Neo Soulish/TripHop band called Sino Sikat. I'll post it once I've get the final drafts. The band was really cool and the the lead singer, Kat was so nice and sweet. Anyway, I'll keep you bitches updated. Love ya and keep reading fuckettes. Sorry for the long waits in between posts I should be getting my internet sometime next week. toodlesxoxox
