Lately I've become enamored with anything related to makeup.  I guess I'm what you call a late bloomer.  Sure I dabbled with some eyeliner and lip gloss, but I never experienced the obsession and creative experimenting that a lot of teenagers go through before mastering what looks good on them. 

My mom used the same Maybelline black eyeliner for about 10 years, carefully sharpening it with a pen knife.  It was only about 4 years ago I bought her an actual eyeshadow set (A Dior quad. It was her birthday!) and blush (also Dior) and a few proper brushes (can't remember the brand, but worthy of the Dior).

I don't know what I was thinking.

You know what's weird? Trying to teach your mother how to put on makeup when you have no clue what you're doing.

Years later I've seen the palette and I can confirm that she's used it enough times to have actually "hit pan".  It was a very pretty quad (muted purples and beiges if I remember correctly) and I can't help but feel touched that she still uses it despite being the mother that always chastises "Why you waste money like that?" for every present I ever gave her.

Very slowly, almost stealthily, I have been getting consumed by a fascination for the face as canvas.  My childhood is just catching up with me.  I've finally reached adolescence!

And it's just amazing to see examples of when makeup transcends to art.

It takes enormous talent to be able to know that this:

Is the perfect look to complete this vision:

Yes, I know it's not the same model but you know what I mean.  But come on, bright green eyeshadow, red lips, strong liner, pale matte skin... what? But the result is perfection: Playful, fresh, young, sexy, very Galliano but also very Dior.  It takes a certain kind of genius to be able to deliver that.

These are from the Christian Dior Spring 2010 show, from Style.com and the brilliance behind the makeup is Pat McGrath.  See the whole fabulous collection here.

If I take 5 minutes a post, that turns out to be 27 DAYS OF READING!  It's Easter holiday weekend but that only lasts 4 days and I got some salmon waiting for me.

It seems logical to just add to the pile rather than chipping away at that. So what's been going on, things that take up too many characters to Twitter:

• All the bulbs in the house have shades. YES this is a big deal. After living in this house for a year I had to admit to myself that this is kind of a home and bare bulbs (especially the stupid energy efficient ones) are just too ugly to look at if you're somewhere you call home.
• We got a bbq! Like a proper one with a little cute side stove to warm your beans.  This WILL be the summer I perfect the grilled steak.  Assuming that all the snow during winter means England will have a proper summer. Come on global warming, make yourself useful for once.
• We're getting a shoe rack for the spare room. It will hold 50 pairs and I'm actually wondering if it is enough. Craig has about 6 pairs. You can do the math but this is totally normal right?  I mean for a grown up woman.

Ok the salmon is cold enough for me to squish my fingers into and I think that about sums up my life in however long it's been since that last post.

First things first, Happy Valentine's Day! Craig got a new computer with a webcam.

Now, working backwards in time, last night we went out in London to the Loop bar where we were downstairs and it looked like this:

And this was the only way I could cope:

Quick rundown of my holidays in CA:

- Last year the thing I didn't know a clue about that was all the rage was frozen yogurt (a la Pink Berry). This year was some Korean dude named Rain.  Did you see this Stephen Colbert? Hella funny.

- Did you know they no longer make just fax machines? I wanted to get one for my parents so they can fax me their junk mail so I can explain to them it's junk mail but they don't make fax machines anymore!  So now they have a 4 in 1 printer/scanner/copier/fax machine which is about 3 too many machines in 1 for them.

- 4 of my friends got engaged over the Christmas holidays!  Congrats to Dave&Jude and Alana&Jeremy!  I think they're all going to be married before me.

- I was surrounded by babies on Christmas day.  3 of my cousins were pregnant last year and they all had their babies within a month of each other so now they're all crawling around.  So there was them and also the old babies who are older but still babies.  Let me tell you, being surrounded by babies is a really damn good way of slowing down that biological clock.

- I lived in San Francisco for 15 years.  You ask any SF native and there is a 9 in 10 chance they have never been to Alcatraz.  I just visited Alcatraz for the first time a week ago upon the urging of Craig who has now gone twice.  It's a decent outing and the audio tour is well made. I would recommend it.

- Lake Tahoe is surprisingly full of Mexican food and Koreans.  The Koreans bring kimchee cup o'noodles with them. I was so jealous but my quesadilla was pretty tasty so it was all good.

In case it wasn't obvious, work has been cray-cray.  Exciting crazy, and I'm loving my job, but still, crazy.  It's not even like I don't have time at home to blog.  Trust me, there is a lot of watching Friends and Everybody Loves Raymond going on around here.  But it's just that when I get home I don't even want to get on the computer anymore.

Let me repeat that for emphasis.

I don't even want to get on the computer anymore.

What have I become??

Craig:

 

It's a combination of actual bandages and a sheet that was soaked in tea water and cut into strips.  It took over an hour wrapping and pinning it all.

And mine:

From eBay.  And Craig had to drive me to Gatwick to pick it up.  But lest you think I am a lazy cheat, check out my make up which I am pretty darned proud of:

Next up, here is a little game I would like to call:

I'll give you a hint:

 

I am both amused and impressed.
