Nude Beige from Model's Own. Nude creme. I have NEVER found a nude that looks good on me and thanks to Raych now I have one! Most nudes are either too pale or too dark and me and this one is perfect. I can't get over how great it looks on me. I've needed a nude palette cleaner that's not OPI Bubble Bath, Coney Island Cotton Candy etc... basically the colors that are more of a sheer jelly vs. this one is a perfect creme. The formula is amazing. I only used 2 coats for perfection. I'm in love with Model's Own!

Hey guys. I just wanted to let you know that I'm back-ish and plan on posting some stuff soon.

Charlize Theron: 'It took two years to adopt son Jackson'

Charlize Theron has said that it took her two years to adopt her first child.
Speaking on The Ellen DeGeneres Show, the Snow White and the Huntsman actress revealed that she waited for 24 months before her son Jackson could come into her life in March.
Theron said: "My mum said the most beautiful thing. She said, 'You know, it took me nine months to fall in love with you while you were growing in my stomach, and it took you two years to fall in love with this little baby'.
"It took two years of waiting, and then one day, it's finally there, and it feels exactly how it's supposed to feel. I don't know how to describe it. It just feels right."
Theron also revealed that her pets didn't take long to become attached to the new addition to her family.
The 36-year-old star said of her rescue dogs, a terrier mutt and a pitbull named Blue: "Dogs tend to... it takes them a little bit to really fall madly in love with someone. They know their owner and they'll be friendly, but they won't fall madly in love with just a stranger instantly."
"From the moment this baby came into our home, those two dogs have never been more in love. It's the most beautiful thing I've ever witnessed."
She continued. "The pit woke up with me for every feed, for every change. And whenever the baby would cry, the pit would start crying.
"People keep saying, 'You're a single mum.' I go, 'Actually, I'm not. I got two boys helping me out.'"

"Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?" is Still Great

Just about everyone who has seen it is saying that the new revival of Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf? is not to be missed.  And they’re right.
This latest version of Edward Albee’s masterwork opened at the Booth Theatre  on Oct. 13, 50 years to the day that the original opened at the old Billy Rose Theater (now the Nederlander and home to Newsies). But there is nothing dated about Albee’s gimlet-eyed look at the desperate games unhappy people can play to keep themselves going.
Albee had been a success in the downtown theater scene but Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf? was his Broadway debut. His chronicle of a night in which two college professors and their wives drink oceans of alcohol, flirt with adultery and reveal the secrets that have kept their unhappy marriages together gob smacked the uptown crowd.
The New York Times declared that it “towers over the common run of contemporary plays.” But there were dissenters too.  “If Edward Albee is the white hope of the American theater, then our nation is in need of a strong detergent,” huffed one letter to the paper’s editor.
The play was a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize for Drama but the board was apparently as prudish as the letter writer and awarded no prize that year. But the theater community knew what it had been given. Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf? took home four big Tonys for direction, best actor and best actress for Arthur Hill and Uta Hagen as the battling older couple George and Martha, and, of course, best play.
Four years later, Mike Nichols directed a movie version that starred Richard Burton and Elizabeth Taylor, who won her second Oscar for her performance as the bitterly frustrated Martha. I was in my teens then but my mother took me to see it and while I won’t pretend that I understood everything I was seeing, I do remember being transfixed.
Director Pam McKinnon’s crackerjack production is the third Broadway revival.  The last, in 2005, which starred Kathleen Turner and Bill Irwin was so good that my husband K decided not to see this one because he didn’t want to taint the memory of such a great evening in the theater.
But this new production drew raves when it opened at Chicago’s Steppenwolf Theatre in 2010 and later when it moved to Washington. So I decided to risk it and I had little trouble persuading my theatergoing buddy Bill to see it with me.  
And we were so glad we went. The play runs 3 hours and 15 minutes with two intermissions but the time flew by.
That’s in part because Albee’s play is often throw-you-head-back-and- laugh funny. But it’s also because McKinnon and her outstanding cast found new ways to unleash its devastating pain as well. 
Amy Morton, best known as the oldest daughter in August: Osage County, makes Martha less of a gorgon than others have.  Bill said he missed that harpyish streak in the character but Morton’s human-sized Martha seemed more like the college president’s daughter that Martha is—and more vulnerable. This Martha touched me in a way that others—even very good ones like Turner’s—didn’t.  (Click here to read an interview with Morton.)
Tracy Letts, who wrote August: Osage Country confirms how theatrically ambidextrous he is because, while, just as you'd expect one playwright to treat the work of another, he is totally faithful to the text, he's also managed to subtlety reimagine George. 
The wounds that Letts' George has suffered over the years throb right beneath the surface but over them he has grown a blister that numbs the pain just enough so that he's able to push ruthlessly ahead.  (Click here to read an interview with Letts.)
I also have to give a shout-out to Carrie Coon, who plays Honey, the puerile wife in the younger couple, and who may be the best onstage drunk I’ve ever seen. But everything about this production—Todd Rosenthal’s set, Nan Dibula-Jenkins’ costumes, Aileen Lee Hughes’ lighting and, of course, McKinnon's deft direction—works, the pieces adding up to a magnificent whole. 
There was silence for the first few seconds after the performance that Bill and I saw ended as those of us in the audience (dotted with celebrities including Stephen Sondheim and the movie actor Bradley Cooper, as I said, everyone who loves theater is trying to see this) pulled ourselves together and then erupted into applause, including opera-house bravos. 
After the show, Bill and I walked through Shubert Alley for a late dinner at Sardi’s.  As we were leaving the restaurant, I spotted my old friend the veteran publicist Irene Gandy having dinner with McKinnon.  I went over and when Irene introduced me, I put my palms together in a gesture of thanks and bowed. “I’ve been hungry for a nourishing evening in the theater,” I told McKinnon.  “Thank you so much for giving it to me.” 
And now here's what I want to tell you: go see it and be fulfilled too.

"Really Really" is Actually Really Worth Seeing

To contact us Click HERE

It takes both talent and moxie to make it in show business. And Paul Downs Colaizzo, the 27-year-old playwright whose first play Really Really opened at the Lucille Lortel Theatre on Tuesday night, seems to have both.  
According to the several profiles that have already been done on him (click here to read one) Colaizzo had moxie enough to walk up to director David Cromer in the street, strike up a conversation, and, eventually, get Cromer to stage his play’s New York production, with follows its premiere at the Signature Theatre in Arlington, Va. last year. 
And although Really Really is far from perfect (beginning with the vapid title) it shows that its author has got talent too.  And he’s also got something to say, both to and about the members of his generation.    It’s obvious that this is a young writer’s play. It’s occasionally too on-the-nose and not as insightful as it thinks it is. But Colaizzo gets big points for breaking outside the comfy sinecure of domestic drama to take on the issue of class in this country. And although I didn’t agree or like everything he has to say about it, I admire him for speaking up.   Colaizzo wrote the first draft of his play while he was still in college at New York University’s Tisch School of the Arts. It was around the same time that some Duke University lacrosse players were accused—wrongfully, it now seems—of gang raping a woman who’d been hired to perform a strip number at one of their parties and a similarly complicated sexual incident sets off the action in Really Really too.  
It opens with two young women—Grace and Leigh—returning to their dorm room from what seems to have been a boozy college party. The next morning, Leigh, a scholarship student, admits that she had sex with Davis, a rich and hunky good guy on campus, who also happens to be a good friend and teammate of her also wealthy fiancé Jimmy.   
When Jimmy returns from a family vacation, Leigh claims the encounter was rape.  Davis says he was so drunk he can’t remember what happened but insists he’s not the kind to force himself on a girl.  Their mutual friends—a handy cross section of slacker jocks and ambitious geeks—try to get as far away from the mess as they can.     But Colaizzo isn’t really concerned with what actually happened between Leigh and Davis that night. Plot twists constantly switch the audience’s sympathies between them. His real focus is on what’s going on inside this pair and their friends. And by his reckoning, that’s the true scandal. 

For, much like Lena Dunham and her controversial HBO show “Girls,” Colaizzo is tough on his peers, portraying them as total narcissists concerned solely by what they can gain from a situation.  As Grace, president of the school’s Future Leaders of America chapter, says in a speech she delivers directly to the audience, their motto is  “What can I do to get ahead?”  

The "Girls" connection is driven home even more by the fact that one of that show's stars Zosia Mamet (yes, daughter of David, who wrote the he-said-she-said drama Oleana) plays Leigh.  Adding to the production's coolness factor is the presence of Matt Lauria from the cult TV show "Friday Night Lights” as Davis.  

But this is not just stunt casting. Both Mamet (click here to read a Q&A with her) and Lauria are excellent, as is the rest of the seven-member cast. During the talkback that followed the performance my theatergoing buddy Bill and I attended, Colaizzo said he most identified with Johnson, the friend played by the black actor Kobi Libii. So I wish I were going to be there for one of the three performances when the playwright steps into that part while Libii films a TV pilot this weekend.
As always, Cromer is a master at getting his actors to plumb the emotional depths of their characters.  Although I could have done without his decision to have the clunky scene changes in which stagehands come out to push the bulky set around as the action moves back and forth between the students’ apartments.   Colaizzo says that Really Really is the first part of a trilogy called “Want, Give, Get.”  The other two are supposedly already written and I’m betting that based on the reception to this one (the show has already been extended until March 24) they’ll get produced.  And I, for one, plan to be there to see them.

23-year-old Carly McKinney, a first-year teacher at Overland High School in Aurora, also raised eyebrows among district officials with tweets like, "Just got called Ms. McCutie. Points for being clever, however you are still jailbait."

McKinney was busted by a viewer tip to local NBC affiliate 9News, and subsequently deleted her account, CarlyCrunkBear.

But not before the news station managed to gather up several examples of McKinney's more "provocative" tweets.

Mother arrested for inviting strippers to 16-year-old son’s birthday party

To contact us Click HERE



A woman in New York was arrested Monday for allegedly hiring strippers to attend her 16-year-old son’s birthday party.

Judy Viger, 33, has been charged with five counts of endangering the welfare of a child, a misdemeanor.  Police said Viger paid for two adult female entertainers to perform “personal and intimate dances” at the birthday party at Spare Time Bowling Center in South Glens Falls last year. The party was attended by five teens younger than 17.
Outraged parents of the young teens contacted the media and the police. Officials were originally told the strippers were just a “bikini gram,” but authorities learned otherwise after viewing pictures and talking to witnesses about the event.
I'm pretty sure there are a group of teens ready to vote Viger as Mom Of The Year.

Leafs in 6th place after 1/3 of the season

To contact us Click HERE
Hard to believe that the Leafs have completed 1/3 of the season since it only began weeks ago.  This is going to be a horse race.

No reason to get excited yet because the Leafs were this high in the standing last season at the 1/3 mark.  Last year they were doing it with offense but this season it appears to be goaltending which in my mind is a more solid foundation.  Team GAA is 2.24 which is 8th overal and SAV% is .930 which is 3rd overall.  They are also tied to the league lead in shutouts with 3.  At this point would you flip Reimar and Scrivens for Luongo and Schneider?  The powerplay is 21st, not so great but the penalty killing is 17th which is a huge jump over last season.  The Leafs also rank 8th in faceoffs won.

Leo Komarov has passed Luke Schenn in hits and only trails Steve Ott for the league lead.  Mark Fraser is second in the league in +/- so new comers are making big contributions.

But no parade yet folks.

Man falls in 8th-story window 'escape' after being 'locked in' by wife

A 35-year-old man survived a seven-story fall Wednesday after attempting to climb out of a window using bed sheets because, he said, his wife had locked him in.

Landing in a bush, the man was injured but was able to walk to an ambulance car after being helped up by medics.

An eyewitness told Postimees that the incident took place around 13:30 at Linnamäe street in Tallinn's Lasnamäe district."He began descending from the eighth story. He succeeded climbing one story down, but the sheet didn't withstand the weight at the seventh story," the source said, adding that the snow must have padded his fall."The man said his wife locked him in. Wanting to go meet his friends, he decided to escape from the apartment with a rope made from bed sheets," a police official said.

Which of Mark Buehrle's dogs isn't like the others?

To contact us Click HERE

Much is being made of Mark Buehrle's dog Slater, who is a mix of bulldog and American Staffordshire Terrier — which is of pit bull lineage. Pit bulls are banned in the province of Ontario.  So Buehrle has decided to keep his family in St. Louis during the summer instead of bringing them up to Toronto when the school year is over.  He doesn't want to separate the dog from the family, a noble gesture.

It's a stupid law which exists in many jurisdictions to protect the public from idiot dog owners.  Buehrle is not one of those but has to suffer because of others.

Personally I don't like the idea of banning specific breeds.  Instead make dog owners accountable for their pets.  If someone is assaulted by a dog, it should be treated as if the owner commited the assault.  No slap on the wrist but possible jail time.

Only in Florida: Woman shot by oven while trying to cook waffles

To contact us Click HERE

An 18-year-old Florida woman was only slightly injured this week when she was shot by her friend's oven, police said.

Aalaya Walker was visiting a friend in St. Petersburg Monday when they decided they wanted some late-night waffles, The Tampa Bay Times reported. So Walker began preheating the oven — unaware that her friend, JJ Sandy, 25, was storing a magazine from his .45-caliber Glock 21 in the oven.

The magazine exploded about 9 p.m. ET, spraying casing fragments at high speed and striking Walker. She managed to pick some of the fragments out of her leg and chest and then took a bus to the hospital, where she was treated and released.

Sandy told police he'd stored the gun in a drawer but had stored the magazine in the oven. Four rounds were in the 13-capacity magazine, he said.

Gun and ammunition references indicate that Glock bullets can explode at temperatures as low as 280 degrees — or even lower if they've been exposed to heat for a long time, which can degrades the structure.

Sandy "stated that he does not have a temperature gauge on the oven so he estimates the temperature based on how far the knob is turned," according to the police report, which was obtained by the Times. "I observed that the inside of the oven was damaged."

There's A New Spider In Town

T.V. Carpio’s  first official performance as “Arachne” in SPIDER-MAN Turn Off The Dark is one she will likely remember for the rest of her life.  She emerged from the stage door a star, with a giant bouquet of roses in hand, to meet a crush of news crews and photographers.  Everyone wanted to know what it felt like to land the role and if she had any trepidation in taking it on.  The bouquet was from co-star Reeve Carney.  It turns out T.V. goes way back with Reeve and his super-guitarist brother Zane Carney.

Onstage her character uses her powers of illusion to wreak global havoc, but off stage she is humble and demure. Earlier in the day, she told George Stephanopoulos on “Good Morning America,” “I have a great want to step into some big shoes and do the best I can do to service this piece.” 

Charlize Theron: 'It took two years to adopt son Jackson'

Charlize Theron has said that it took her two years to adopt her first child.
Speaking on The Ellen DeGeneres Show, the Snow White and the Huntsman actress revealed that she waited for 24 months before her son Jackson could come into her life in March.
Theron said: "My mum said the most beautiful thing. She said, 'You know, it took me nine months to fall in love with you while you were growing in my stomach, and it took you two years to fall in love with this little baby'.
"It took two years of waiting, and then one day, it's finally there, and it feels exactly how it's supposed to feel. I don't know how to describe it. It just feels right."
Theron also revealed that her pets didn't take long to become attached to the new addition to her family.
The 36-year-old star said of her rescue dogs, a terrier mutt and a pitbull named Blue: "Dogs tend to... it takes them a little bit to really fall madly in love with someone. They know their owner and they'll be friendly, but they won't fall madly in love with just a stranger instantly."
"From the moment this baby came into our home, those two dogs have never been more in love. It's the most beautiful thing I've ever witnessed."
She continued. "The pit woke up with me for every feed, for every change. And whenever the baby would cry, the pit would start crying.
"People keep saying, 'You're a single mum.' I go, 'Actually, I'm not. I got two boys helping me out.'"

Nude Beige from Model's Own. Nude creme. I have NEVER found a nude that looks good on me and thanks to Raych now I have one! Most nudes are either too pale or too dark and me and this one is perfect. I can't get over how great it looks on me. I've needed a nude palette cleaner that's not OPI Bubble Bath, Coney Island Cotton Candy etc... basically the colors that are more of a sheer jelly vs. this one is a perfect creme. The formula is amazing. I only used 2 coats for perfection. I'm in love with Model's Own!

Thanks for reading, until next time!

Night Sky is a gorgeous deep blue microglitter in a clear base with chunky holo glitter throughout. 3 coats. 2 of the pictures above are blurred to show the holo. The holo glitter on this is really strong. The only issue I have with this is that its really goopey and think. I will probably thin it next time I wear it. Other than that, this color is fantastic! I love dark holos!

Thanks for reading, until next time!

Hey guys. I just wanted to let you know that I'm back-ish and plan on posting some stuff soon. I've been MIA because I totaled my car and have been dealing with all that stuff and insurance, etc, and I was working on a musical and a play which left me zero social life. I'm on summer break right now and should have time to do stuff.

Also, updated my blog sale so I can at least pay for gas... got a new used car, but that left me BROKE so if you like anything, please don't hesitate!

Thanks for reading and I'm SO sorry I've been gone.

"Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?" is Still Great

Just about everyone who has seen it is saying that the new revival of Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf? is not to be missed.  And they’re right.
This latest version of Edward Albee’s masterwork opened at the Booth Theatre  on Oct. 13, 50 years to the day that the original opened at the old Billy Rose Theater (now the Nederlander and home to Newsies). But there is nothing dated about Albee’s gimlet-eyed look at the desperate games unhappy people can play to keep themselves going.
Albee had been a success in the downtown theater scene but Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf? was his Broadway debut. His chronicle of a night in which two college professors and their wives drink oceans of alcohol, flirt with adultery and reveal the secrets that have kept their unhappy marriages together gob smacked the uptown crowd.
The New York Times declared that it “towers over the common run of contemporary plays.” But there were dissenters too.  “If Edward Albee is the white hope of the American theater, then our nation is in need of a strong detergent,” huffed one letter to the paper’s editor.
The play was a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize for Drama but the board was apparently as prudish as the letter writer and awarded no prize that year. But the theater community knew what it had been given. Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf? took home four big Tonys for direction, best actor and best actress for Arthur Hill and Uta Hagen as the battling older couple George and Martha, and, of course, best play.
Four years later, Mike Nichols directed a movie version that starred Richard Burton and Elizabeth Taylor, who won her second Oscar for her performance as the bitterly frustrated Martha. I was in my teens then but my mother took me to see it and while I won’t pretend that I understood everything I was seeing, I do remember being transfixed.
Director Pam McKinnon’s crackerjack production is the third Broadway revival.  The last, in 2005, which starred Kathleen Turner and Bill Irwin was so good that my husband K decided not to see this one because he didn’t want to taint the memory of such a great evening in the theater.
But this new production drew raves when it opened at Chicago’s Steppenwolf Theatre in 2010 and later when it moved to Washington. So I decided to risk it and I had little trouble persuading my theatergoing buddy Bill to see it with me.  
And we were so glad we went. The play runs 3 hours and 15 minutes with two intermissions but the time flew by.
That’s in part because Albee’s play is often throw-you-head-back-and- laugh funny. But it’s also because McKinnon and her outstanding cast found new ways to unleash its devastating pain as well. 
Amy Morton, best known as the oldest daughter in August: Osage County, makes Martha less of a gorgon than others have.  Bill said he missed that harpyish streak in the character but Morton’s human-sized Martha seemed more like the college president’s daughter that Martha is—and more vulnerable. This Martha touched me in a way that others—even very good ones like Turner’s—didn’t.  (Click here to read an interview with Morton.)
Tracy Letts, who wrote August: Osage Country confirms how theatrically ambidextrous he is because, while, just as you'd expect one playwright to treat the work of another, he is totally faithful to the text, he's also managed to subtlety reimagine George. 
The wounds that Letts' George has suffered over the years throb right beneath the surface but over them he has grown a blister that numbs the pain just enough so that he's able to push ruthlessly ahead.  (Click here to read an interview with Letts.)
I also have to give a shout-out to Carrie Coon, who plays Honey, the puerile wife in the younger couple, and who may be the best onstage drunk I’ve ever seen. But everything about this production—Todd Rosenthal’s set, Nan Dibula-Jenkins’ costumes, Aileen Lee Hughes’ lighting and, of course, McKinnon's deft direction—works, the pieces adding up to a magnificent whole. 
There was silence for the first few seconds after the performance that Bill and I saw ended as those of us in the audience (dotted with celebrities including Stephen Sondheim and the movie actor Bradley Cooper, as I said, everyone who loves theater is trying to see this) pulled ourselves together and then erupted into applause, including opera-house bravos. 
After the show, Bill and I walked through Shubert Alley for a late dinner at Sardi’s.  As we were leaving the restaurant, I spotted my old friend the veteran publicist Irene Gandy having dinner with McKinnon.  I went over and when Irene introduced me, I put my palms together in a gesture of thanks and bowed. “I’ve been hungry for a nourishing evening in the theater,” I told McKinnon.  “Thank you so much for giving it to me.” 
And now here's what I want to tell you: go see it and be fulfilled too.
