Queen of Hearts

This is incredibly overdue, but lately life has been bending me over a table and having its way with me. As if finals weren't bad enough (especially since I'm trying to graduate) I've had to deal with a few personal things. Luckily that means I have a bunch of posts lined up and ready to go, so I'll start with this one.

My sister had her 14th birthday party back in early April and decided she wanted an Alice in Wonderland theme. Knowing me, we all knew I had to be the big bitchy Red Queen. P: I didn't have the time to throw together a spiffy outfit, so I tried to make up for it with outlandish make-up that I drew mostly from Helena Bonham Carter's representation of the Red Queen.









I didn't want to try and cover up my brows because they are bushy likewhoa (and this is AFTER that lady in Florida waxed them uber thin, mind you) so instead I used the same lip liner color I had on my lips to fill in my brows. The rest was pretty simple -- foundation that was lighter than my natural skintone, lots of blue eyeshadow, concealer stick on my lips and a steady hand to draw on the heart.

Like I said, my outfit wasn't that amazing. I pulled out a black dress I bought at a vintage store and paired it with almost every piece of heart-themed jewelry I owned. My mom also ordered me these really bad-ass shoes with striped heels -- I wish I had taken a better shot of them.

I didn't do much with my hair other than curl it. I had a crappy crown made out of what appeared to be some crappy faux velvet material that my mom bought at Party City that was supposed to be on my head, so I couldn't get too crazy.



My amazing Betsey Johnson bracelet. Is it perfect or what?
