The Popularity Forum

It makes me giggle to see which of my posts are 'popular' at the moment.

For the past week or so it's been the one entitled 'Let's go back to the 80's, man!'

And I can only assume people click on it by mistake due to the images I have attached. But still, it's had a butt load of views recently (still, viewer count hasn't gone up so I'm not winning subscribers! Come on people, help my ego out!).

The reason I think people have been heading on over this way is because, like many of the things I like, 80's fashion and makeup is going to make a comeback. What? It's not? People are just googling for 80's makeup because it was Halloween? Damn. And I just bought a sequin jacket with shoulder pads and some denim looking bicycle shorts. Wow... that was a strange mixture of clothing. Sorry!

What was I saying? Oh yes - I'm going to be uploading some special effects make up pictures soon. I have the actual silicone pieces, I'm just waiting on my adhesive to arrive. I had to order it this week - thought I had some in the shed. I don't. Bah!
On a plus note - my new makeup brush set arrived at the best time, so now I can try out my new brushes simulating blood and gore. Yesssss!

Right, I'd best get back. I have an assignment to start and a novel to crack on with. Oh... and I need lunch. Spaghetti hoops, here I come!

Toodles!

My most popular blogs

Sup? I like to look at my blog stats. Just to see what's happeneing on my page etc. because, as mentioned yesterday, I like seeing what makes people tick. See what people like to see in a blog, of such. And it always makes me laugh to see that one of the blogs I did a looong time ago still gets the majority of hits. And I mean about 600% more hits than any other blog post. It was a post about fashion. I don't usually do fashion posts, because I am a nerd who has no real style. plus, there are so many fashion blogs out there that me doing fashion things would be insane, as I'm not even a beginner in that sort of thing, I'm a 'I kind of like fashion but don't know anything about it and don't have the time to become interested in it' kind of girl. Just this past week one of my other posts has started to get more hits too. The 80's blog. So, people, as it turns out, love seeing pictures of people wearing clothes and wearing 80's makeup. Who knew? If I was the sort of person who wanted to get a lot of followers just for the hell of it I would just post pictures of clothes. But, well, ASOS do that AND they have the bigger idea of selling clothes too... like most clothes shops... so I don't really see the need. Plus, I like my random blogging. I blog what I think, when I think it. Much like in real life, when I say what I say when I think it... Meh. I've lost my train of thought. Thanks for reading my ramblings! Sam

Lets go back to the 80's, man!

Totes! I think the 80's should make a come back, and not just in the editorial world. sure, you see 80's tributes in magazines, and on the catwalk, but no one is gutsy enough to bring it back in 'real life'. Not even I. Although one day I will do it, I just need a few drinks first maybe? :) I was googling 80's hair and makeup, because I like inspiration. I love big hair. I try to get my hair big before I go out - not stupidly backcombed big, like those girls who don't fully comprehend WHY you backcomb hair, but big in a sense of its volume, curls and personality. Hair should have personality!

When I'm talking about 80's I'm not meaning over the top hair and makeup a la Joan Cusack.

And I'm certainly not talking Madonna 80's - which is just messy!

No folks, I'm talking styled, colourful and fab! Perfect makeup, great hair. Debbie Harry is a great inspiration:

And if we're bringing it into the here and now I really LOVE the way Drew Barrymore plays with colour and volume:

But if all else fails, forget the 80's and just go Anime extreme. Which is what I plan to do. If I could ever pull this look off! haha!

Keep on truckin'
