Halloween Video #1: Egyptian Queen

Ok, so QUEEN maybe overstating it... How about Egyptian Slave Maiden? LOL.



Anyway, the masses have spoken and this is the first video in the Halloween Series 2009. We are starting off with a bang!



This video is an hour's worth of work condensed down into 6 minutes! Yeah...I kinda feel gipped of glory and martyrdom but what can ya do? How about you guys just leave me wonderful comments telling me how impressed you are? hahaha.



If you do decide to try this look, it should only realistically take 30 minutes or less. It takes longer when you have to do it on camera, plus I'm including the time it took to straighten and style my hair (I didn't wanna go out and buy a wig). Also, I list down what I used just so you guys have a reference. You do not have to use exactly what I did, use what you have!



Hope you guys like watching!

Halloween Is Starting a Bit early this year!

This year, I will be starting Halloween looks early to give people a chance to practice and decide on a look before the big day!



The videos (or pics...as some of the looks take a while and would be too long on video) will definitely be posted on my YouTube channel and here along with detailed descriptions of the looks...

Some of the looks that have already been requested or are already planned:

-Egyptian Queen

-70's Hippie

-50's Pin-Up (Navy Pin-Up, Army Pin-Up, etc.)

-Football Fan (Seahawks look, Football colors etc.)

-Japanese School Girl
...ok, here's a caveat for this one. This will be a look for "school girl", "anime", "Chun-Li" <--be proud, I didn't even have to ask who the hell Chun-Li is. I will agree to do this look as it was requested an un-godly amount of times BUT... you must promise me to never, ever, ever, ever, EVER make me have to look up the words "japanese schoolgirl" on Google EVER AGAIN! And to promise me to never, ever, ever, EVER make me have to do the slutty anime look EVER AGAIN! Promise????

-Dead Girl (cute dead look, zombie, vampire, sexy vampire, etc.)

-Fairy (pretty fairy, sexy fairy, etc.)

-20's Silent Film actress/Flapper Girl

-Indian (East Indian, Bollywood, etc.)

-Geisha (Japanese Geisha, Madame Butterfly, Japanese Opera)


I will try to get to as many of these as possible, time and materials/makeup permitting. If you would like to request one, please do and I will try my hardest to fulfill.

Thanks and have a great day!
