Grr...

So... I am kind of angry
Mostly because my computer is slow as snails in a traffic jam.
I have dial up. Yes, the dreaded dial up.
It makes it impossible to upload pictures. So you know if I uploaded pictures I had to think about it seriously, pondering whether I was willing to commit my time to such a gesture.
I did a post a while ago to enter Sarah's Disney contest. So I did it up buuuut when I went to post the link in her comments computer disconnected and then shut down.
I was like "Oh Damn!" I will do it later, no bigs, just be chills. Ha. didnt happen. But I guess that is partially my fault.
And then the other day I "sent" the email to her of the pictures and link.
It didnt send apparently. This morning I got one of those delivery status notification failure, or whatever you call it. And so by that point it was too late, so I obviously did not make it into the contest. this upset me cause it was my first contest entry, and I was tres excited.
It just makes me want to karate chop my computer in half Jackie Chan style.
hate it hate it hate it. dang it dang it dang it.
Disappointed! :'(
But congrats to Sarah for getting so many entries! I dont think mine would have stood a chance! They were all amazing.
on the positive side.. I did have alot of fun doing it. And my computer teaches me an odd form of anger management. GooseFraBaaaaa....

Check out my Little Mermaid entry HERE. <<<<

Barbie <3

I love Barbie.

Always have. Always will.

I had dozens and dozens of barbies as a child, as did my three sisters.

Which means like.. a hundred barbies.

Plus my Grandma collects Barbies.

So I thought it would be very appropriate to enter this Barbie themed contest. :)

Here is my inspiration: Barbie Pictures

Canadian Barbie (unofficial)

Marchesa barbie

Red Carpet barbie

Malibu Barbie

beach Barbie

So I am really trying to focus on *brunette* Barbie styles to be inspired by, because that is my hair colour.

I am deff digging the pink.....

but shall I go Barbie glam or Barbie classic?

........

I will update with my choice and my entry soon!!!

The Little Mermaid: Disney Contest Entry

I am entering my very first contest!!!

Please do not be too disappointed in me!

I am hardly a make up expert, and I am not connoiseur of the perfect look.

I just wanted to give it whack, for funsies. :]

Sarah over at If the shoe fits... is hosting a Disney themed contest.

here is the link.

So I chose one of my very fave Disney princesses,

The Little Mermaid!!

Ariel!

So this will be my first contest entry ever, just to say it again!

Now I am no make-up guru, but like any lady out there, I love playing with make up and dolling myself up <3

I was totally pumped with this.

I had fun playing with the glitter and the big lashes. It could have been better, but the more I practice the better I will get! :)

Unfortunately I was very limited in the actual selection of my photos. You see, I used my mothers camera, an old Sony, and it uses discs instead of memory cards to store pictures. It is not very reliable, and messes up most of the time. The first disc worked until it was full and then i stuck in a second. This one took pictures and then crawled in the corner and died :( The pictures would not load on the computer... and it was this group that was the best!!!

Arghh.

Oh well. i will post it up anyways!

I will first take the time to apologize for bad lighting and overexposure in most of my pictures. Its my own loss really, but I had fun!!!!! I hope ya'll enjoiiii!

Here is my inspiration:

Here is my entry:

Yes I know we were supposed to post three.......but I liked these :]

Here is an extra I played with for funsies!

To elaborate upon my entry::

I chose purple for the eyes because I was reminiscent of her purple shell bra that I loved so much! Sparkly because she IS a princess, and because she is a mermaid! I tried to make my skin look very shimmery as to give off an ethereal mermaid look. And then of course Ariels red lips!
