This song is really nice :)
This is inspired by Megan Fox's Mannequin photo shoot, i've put together a look that is both very glamorous and classy, all the while capturing that very artificial plastic-doll like aesthetic with the selection of rubber jelly heels, statement cocktail rings, and a resin clutch. Things that resemble the cute wardrobes a doll collection would have, in it's fantastic plastic ways!

I was browsing on you tube for some fun makeup looks that can be easily accomplished, and came across these few tutorials. Makeup can be quite fun, I admit I'm a bit more on the lazy side but watching videos like this reminds me how much excitement you can have with cosmetics and how much it can transform you!
This lady named Promise does really good replicas of celebrities and classic looks, I highly recommend you to check out her videos below :)
Then you have the even more outrageous makeup looks that a subculture in Japan follows, it is known as the Ganguro Girl look...observe below.

So Ganguro is known to be a type of Japanese Street Fashion which translates into the literal meaning "Black-Face". This consists of bleached hair, very dark tan, black eyeliner, white makeup around the eyes and lips, platform shoes, neon colored outfits, and lots of jewelery.

Another bizarre look that already existed within the subculture of anime/manga lovers are what was originally known as "wee-a-boo", usually makeup worn in this manner is by fans of that subculture and they would be deemed a "wee-a-boo". Somehow along the line, Lady Gaga stepped in and popularized this makeup look by commercializing it in a manner that was more cohesive, putting together all the things that represent "kawaii/cuteness".
I personally don't see myself wearing the last two makeup looks anytime soon, oh as well as the Michael Jackson tutorial too- unless I was called to participate in a themed party. All in all, all these different types of makeup styles has truly caused me to realize how much i've underestimated the power of makeup.

On the weekend I went to have lunch at Poutini's House Of Poutine. I tried out the bacon and maple syrup poutine, and was pleasantly surprised at how well the flavors went together. Of course, having the standard cheese and gravy- with bacon and maple syrup on top, my friend concluded that it is a heart attack in a cup. Even though I agree, I would have it again :)
What I especially liked about the shop was that it had these organic wooden benches, trunks of trees with the top carved into seats. Unfortunately I didn't take any photos of them as I didn't want to look like some creep snapping up everything in their shop, but if you look closely in the first photo- you can see the tops of the trunk seats! They also sold bottled soda pop, like the good ol' days, instead of coke I decided to try this Cane Cola. It went really well with my bacon poutine.
After lunch I headed over to the fashion district to pick up some trimmings to complete the garment designs I've previously blogged about. I have also decided to create some custom pieces for myself to wear as well, as much as I'd like to wear the existing pieces i've already made- they were tailored to fit much taller people (aka runway models). This pretty translucent sheer fuschia fabric will be made into a dress for myself! I hope it matches the pink rubber slipper heels with cute little bow ties I recently ordered, then I would look 100% like a packaged ready Barbie doll. :)
Your probably wondering what I'm going to do with that black tassle trim, it will be a surprise! But I will be also be using it to make something for myself.
I also had taxes to do on the same day, so we rushed to Eaton Center Sears and saw this cute collection of cake mixers! I love how they made them in vintage colors, the light blue and light yellow were especially my favorite.
Right after we headed back to Starbucks at the Chapters bookstore right below the Scotia Bank Theatre, and treated myself to Shakened Passion Ice Tea & Caramel Macchiato.
