when House Paint met Seats


Tuesday, I left my common sense behind on my way home from a painting project on campus. I loaded up what was left of the lime green and neon yellow paint into the front seat of my car and sped home, eager to shower and change before my 6:15 meeting with a director downtown... Showered, changed, accessorized and ready to go, I raced out to my car only to find....


Yup. Green and Yellow paint everywhere.... I've been scrubbing it with latex paint remover daily, and have made a tiny amount of progress.... Either I'll get it all out (whoch would be miraculous) or I'm going to have to "art direct" my front seat before I go home for thanksgiving and my father finds out what I've done to his car.... pray for me people!

Sundays and Sephora

Apologies are in order; august is here and my work load has started picking up considerably. I spent a great deal of time (and money!) this week re-stocking my makeup kit for the fall. I by no means consider myself a professional, but I know enough and have enough products to get by when there is no real makeup artist on set. Anyway, I had decided to try out some samples of these new HD primers I read about online, and so I took a trip out to the local sephora to pick some up. Huge mistake (or blessing?), 3 hours and 200 dollars later I had some sweet stuff for my kit, but even more sweet stuff for myself. I got this awesome new smashbox master class kit-- and even though I normally don't care for box sets, this stuff more or less makes me pee my pants with excitement every time I take it out of the box. I won't go into details-- you can read my full review on the product here if you're interested. Not only do I pretty much use it on me every day, it also came with some really sweet stuff I can use on set, so I technically can write it off as an investment... right dad?

In other news Aurora is back (YAY!), I've been building a cave (sweet!) and I'm getting the ball rolling on many many projects. So I pinky promise I'll have something of interest to put here soon.
