This blog has been a draft for way too long, I just kept forgetting about it, oops. This was the makeup that I used for Castlefest, including the costume I made. Prepare for Picture Overload! I made these EOTD pics when I got home, after a VERY rainy day. Calling it rain doesn't even begin to describe how the weather was eventually, it was more like a bucket of water thrown down, but constantly. Still, the makeup held pretty good! The EOTD was not a nice as the try out makeup that I did before, but I'm not a morning person, and I only had so much time before I had to go to the trainstation. Products used for the eyes: Gosh waterproof eyeshadowbase Gosh vellvet touch eyeliner Woody Green (eyebrows) NYX jumbo pencil Milk Sugarpill Absinthe Sugarpill Junebug (for the eyebrows aswell) Sugarpill Goldilux Dollywink eyeliner black Barry M Kohlpencil black False lashes with black glitter from KKcenterHK Look at all those sparkling colours! The stones are nail art stones from Born Pretty Store. Products used for the face: Gosh waterproof eyeshadowbase along the hairline Sugarpill Absinthe Sugarpill Junebug EDM Soft Butter Peach Original Glo Sleek Rose Gold Blush Morgana Cryptoria Absinthe lipstick Here are some pics of the outfit I made. I had so many ideas, and in the end too little time. I couldn't decided on what to do, so I ended up with a simple costume, inspired by a Greek peplos. I was not really happy with the outcome, but hey, it worked. At least, this time, I didn't have to take off half my costume when I needed to pee ;) In the train applying my lipstick, after having eaten my breakfast. My costume consisted of: A black wetlook snakeprint legging A silvergrey snakeprint skirt, with 8 slits at the bottom (selfmade) A black wetlook top that I pimped with silver clasps and a diff neckline (pimped) A black leatherwaistcorset with buckles A silvergrey snakeprint bolero with silver clasp. (selfmade) The sleeves were wide, and were supposed to flow around my arm, but my handbag and the weather made sure, it didn't most of the time. Same with the neckline of the bolero, my handbag made it shift to the side a lot. I've made a similar skirt before, and the slits make it really flowey when you walk...unlees the fabric is all wet...and heavy. *sigh* I also had a killermigraine, and the hair on my head weighed to much aswell. Still, it looked fab. Already wearing a wetlook bolero against the cold: Wearing a fluffy jacket against the cold, together with Sid, who is almost never cold: After we went home, at trainstation Haarlem at the BurgerKing: Usually I look on the internet for pictures that were made of me. This year, a LOT were made, but I just haven't had the time and patience to search for them. I did however receive some of some photographers... Not all of them unfortunately though. But almost all of them complimented me on my makeup and wanted to take some pics. These were made on my way to the toilet, and I really needed to go..can you tell? HAHAHAHHAHA I should have placed the snakes more in the front, instead of at the longer side of the hair. Now, you can barely tell that there are lots of them in my hair. Oh well, I guess this is my least fav costume, even though it was one of the more comfortable ones. I really do like the makeup though, and the hair. What do you think?

According to Greek Mythology, Medusa was a monster. With snakes for hair, she could turn anyone into store with her gaze. Looking to intimidate? In this Medusa costume, everyone will surely be checking out your costume, but may be too intimidated to look you in the eye.

Growing up, I watched the Star Wars movies with my dad. I loved the stories of adventure and good vs. evil and silly characters like a worrisome droid named C3P0 and then Luke whose father turned out to be one of the worst guys in the entire universe. I mean, what would you do if you found out that your father aided in the great massacre of the Jedi Knights? In the last year, we have let Tommy watch the original three movies and he quickly fell in love with the Star Wars stories too. We have saber battles and fly invisible space ships on a regular basis in our house. And you should have seen the shock and horror on his face when he found out that Darth Vader turned out to be Luke's father. He kept saying, "Darth Vader is his dad!" Naturally, when all of the talk began about his big 5th birthday party, he quickly changed his mind from wanting a dinosaur party to having a Star Wars party instead. And being the Star Wars fan that I am, I was totally okay with this. It was probably harder for me to reign myself in because I was the one who wanted to go all out. Yesterday, I finally got to see my vision for his Star Wars party play out. It was probably my most favorite birthday party of all time - and it has to be, because we've told Tommy it's his last "big" birthday party for awhile. After all, five is a huge milestone in a kid's life. I mean, it's like half of ten. Decorations were a blast to make. I started with a big back-drop that I made from two black plastic table cloths. Todd's mom splattered them with white paint to look like stars. The Star Wars logo was just cut out from cardboard and painted. Of course I had several Pinterest hacks like making Imperial fighter ships out of black paper lanterns and scrapbook paper. I love how they turned out but I can't say the same for my X-wing which wasn't nearly as successful. Even Tommy said it looked like an X-wing but it wasn't very good. As I was hot gluing a red solo cup on to a cheap paper lantern I had to wonder what George Lucas would think if he saw what I was doing. The food was creatively named after characters in the movie. Like Chewbacca's Chips and Dip, Ewokookies, Vader Veggies, Jabba the Hutt Dogs, Luke Skywater, Yoda Soda and my personal favorite Obi-Wan Kabobies, which was nothing more than fruit on skewers. My awesome friend Meghann made an R2D2 cake. There was no way I could have done that with icing - she is amazing. And my birthday party hero for making it happen. We played "Destroy the Death Star", though really the kids just hit a pinata that was once a soccerball pinata - I spray painted it gray and put duct tape on it so it looked Death Star-ish. I was most proud of that idea because Pinterest didn't tell me to do it. It was an original idea and everything. Todd's dad came dressed as Darth Vader and all of the kids wanted to play with him. He was such a good sport about it because some of the boys got a little carried away and were determined to take him down for real. I even got into the spirit and dressed Jedi-ish. With accessories and everything. Naturally. Tommy had informed me before the party that he was planning on being a Jedi but turning to the dark side at his party because he was done being a Jedi. And sure enough - he did. Tommy was loaded up with plenty of Star Wars gear and Legos galore and even a new bike. It was pretty much the best 5th birthday party in the history of the entire galaxy. And now, we have a five year old. A soon-to-be Kindergartender. I'm not exactly sure where these five years have gone, but I'm pretty sure it goes by as quickly as they say it does. Because it doesn't seem like it was that long ago that I was holding Tommy in his footed sleepers and singing him to sleep and now he's this big boy that loves Star Wars and is starting to read and can count to 100 and even has future wife picked out. Tommy is smart, tender-hearted, cautious, playful, energetic, creative, imaginative and he loves music just like me. I'm so proud to be his mama. Celebrating his life, making a big deal out of his birthday, will always be one of my greatest joys because he is one of my greatest gifts. I love you Jedi Tommy. Oops, I mean Darth Tommy. Jedi or dark side, I do love you so.
