FOTD: Binging on Purple Poppies

Ugh, I'm terrible with naming things! One time I had a Siberian Dwarf Hamster named Leonard Nimoy, but that's only because my boyfriend named him. So, when all else fails for FOTD post names, I just do a play on the names of the products I used. Urban Decay eyeliner in Binge and Kiss My Sass eyeshadow in Purple Poppy makes "Binging on Purple Poppies"! I used several eyeshadows, so I could have easily went with "Blizzard on a Victorian Night", but I'm a sucker for alliteration. My angst-y teenage poetry was pure alliteration.  It was terrible (Here is a sample I remember- "Shadows slide and slither across a dust-laden shrine.."), but with alliteration you can fool people into thinking you know what you're doing. Isn't that how to get ahead in life? Not actually being competent, but just fooling people into believing you are? Politicians build their whole lives around it! But, I digress. I'm not sure how I went from poppies to politicians (alliteration!) but I sure can ramble can't I? Ramble on! (Anything for a Led Zep reference!)


Eyes:

  • Evil Shades eyeshadow in Victorian Nights on inner third of lid
  • Detrivore eyeshadow in Saprophyte on out third of lid
  • Kiss My Sass eyeshadow in Purple Poppies in crease and below lower lash line
  • Detrivore eyeshadow in Blzzard to highlight and in inner corners of eyes
  • Urban Decay 24/7 eyeliner in Binge on water line and upper lash line

    4. You look fantastic! Leonard Nemoy is an amazing name for a Hamster and I LOVE the sample of your poetry. I tried writing some myself last year, it was appalling. Worse than appalling.
