I have had the odd experience of being misunderstood,or else being critiqued over, my natural skin color.  (But not the usual racism i have endured from Black people since my early childhood,living and going to public schools in the "inner city".) For the 3rd time , i have gotten comments that confused me,pertaining to the color of my skin,along with questions.....from other Caucasian people!!!!! No I do not powder my skin with silica. No this is not "whiteface". (Although I DO own Ben Nye Cream Makeup in white, that I have used in Goth clubs and for my zebra stripe makeup. ) And sometimes i need to add white to my foundation if it is not pale enough to match my complexion. In this day and age, must I explain my cultural heritage in hopes people understand? For the record: I am mostly of English heritage, with some Irish, Scottish, German and Swedish thrown in. Years ago  I was teased about my pale skin,but not the "typical racism" that mi...

The other day I had an occasion to run up to one of the dollar stores.I had part of a gift card to use up. When I arrived there,I knew the people working there.I noticed a tall older man standing near the cashier, talking to them.I did not think anything of it.I assumed the man must have been a friend of theirs.So I went deep in the store to shop. But a few minutes in my excursion I noted that tall man never left where he was.His voice was loud and he sounded like he was bothering them. I inched closer.I could see the lady cashier was quiet,not smiling. (and she ALWAYS smiles.) The little man who stocks shelves there is from Bangladesh, as is the cashier lady.Both are very very sweet people. That tall man looked like the dirtbags in my neighborhood who cause trouble.. He WAS a ghettizen! Turns out he was smacking the little stock clerk man upside his head with bags of candy.The little man said nothing until finally i heard him cry out "STOP TOUCHING ME!" Now I...

I had a scary experience when I made one of my YouTube videos last week. It was a lovely warm sunny Spring day,a perfect beach day.I was stoked because i had a nice Visa gift card to spend, and the luck 2 days previously, to find a deep discount sale when I was purchasing a big bag of fresh roasted peanuts from Peanut World. So with this knowledge in mind I went on the Boardwalk in Atlantic City with my laundry cart on wheels that I bring grocery shopping.Peanut World has a lot of fitness gear...things i have been wanting...... So I got a great punching bag and I got a jump rope, and bigger longer Pilates resistance bands for weight work....I got a medicine ball....i also got an abdominal roller...and a shower radio that's supposed to get TV audio but i don;t expect THAT to work here as I live at sea level and we require cable or satellite for TV reception. I took my overflowing cart on to the beach,which was mostly deserted except for a few scattered walkers/sunbathers. ...

 Welcome to what is not only a blog post but a makeup tutorial. After 3 non makeup videos,(to make the fellas and non makeup wearers happy), I just HAD to show off a new palette I bought.They were both too much of a bargain to say no to,and each one has 10 shadows in it that can make at the VERY least, 2 looks apiece. The white or whitish highlight shades were worth the price-it includes a true matte white plus an ecru and a pale pale pale pale pale blue and a golden maize type very pale shade,that,come to think of it may not be light enough as a highlighter,but on a darker skinned person I think it could. This video took longer than it had to because I told some stories about how I feel about some subjects in the news. Once again TabbyBoy interrupted.He had to be fed. He still acts unpredictable since the death of Ace. If you watched this  (or even if you did NOT!)...stay tuned for Thursday.....I will post a funny video involving (mostly) clublife, and some of my pe...
