My Interview with Drag Queen Lady Shamu.

Last week I did an interview with the lovely Lady Shamu, a local Houston drag queen. I was very excited to talk about the transformation service that she offers at the store she manages, Eros 1207. Contact for Ms. Shamu is in the description of the video. :)

And here are a couple of pictures of one of the wigs she did for me, and a look at a look from an upcoming tutorial.

This shot is showing the eyes. Its an orange and black look in honor of Halloween.	Inst this wig great? I think she did an awesome job on it. Thank you so much again Lady Shamu!

Dramatic Eyelash Find

People ask me all the time where to get the large size eyelashes. For the most part I tell them they can be found at non chain beauty supply stores. Ones that mainly sell wigs, and weave hair. But today I found another supply. With Halloween just around the corner a lot of stores are stocking all sorts of dramatic eyelashes. You have to be cautious with them though, because a lot of them are “costume quality” meaning that they are really only good for one wearing. So as I was saying today I was at Wal-Mart cruising the Halloween section. On an end cap they had displays with many different lashes from the “Salon Perfect” brand. Some of them very “Drag Queenish”, so I had to investigate more. I was pleasantly surprised to see that they were all a reasonable price marked at $2.97 each pair. Take a look at the images below.

This first model is #115. These are practically identical to the model 199 lashes I wear from the wig stores.	There is actually not a model number on this pair of lashes. It is a shorter on the inner end, and longer on the outer.	Model Number #114 is just as long as the #115, but they have a jagged edge. These remind me of the ones Jackie Beat wears.

They are all in reusable plastic clamshell packaging, with an instruction card, and a small tube of eyelash adhesive. I have not tried this glue, but I would recommend not even trying it. Throw it out, and use either Duo or Lashgrip. So in conclusion, if you have trouble finding big eyelashes for drag, go out to Wal-Mart and stock up on these… Or you can try to wait until after Halloween, and see if they go on clearance.

Wig Info video posted to YouTube

I finally got my Wig info video posted to YouTube. I made this because a LOT of people have been asking, “How do you put on a wig?” “Where do you get your wigs?” So this is a reply to all of those questions.

MAC Style Black Look and Review

This last Sunday I broke out my Mac Style Black products to do a video. I had been looking forward to doing one for a while, but hadn't had the time. So I was very happy I got the change that day. Take a look at the video, and then move on down to the text below for my opinion on the products.

So here is what I thought. Lets start off with the good. I LOVED the Cinderfella eye shadow. It was so smooth, and went on so nice, and blended out amazingly. And was it sparkly? I have never seen an eye shadow sparkle the way this did on my eye. I loved it! It was so good I had to go back to the store and get the Young Punk eye shadow because if Cinderfella was this nice, they all had to be just as good. I would never use this eye shadow alone because I am sure it goes on very sheer. But to apply it over an already dark base, its magic. When it came to the lip products I was not as happy. I first lined my lips with a black liner, and then applied the Midnight Media Mattene. the Mattene was very sheer, and mixed with the foundation that I always apply over my lips making it a bluish gray. Now if you don't apply foundation over your lips, you might not have this problem. But I do this to help prolong whatever I put on my lip’s staying power. The Blackfire Glimmerglass didn't show up at all. It did make my lips glossy, but you could not see the purple color or the glitter. I am sure this would look good over a purple lipstick, but I don't have any, so this would not work for me. In the end I did return these products to the MAC counter. I hate returning Mac, especially when its a limited item. But in the long run, I think this is best for me. So to wrap up, I still love the Style Black collection, and am desperately in love with the eye products. The lip items were just not for me.

Here are some pictures of the finished look.
