Costuming Inspiration: Fantasy Makeup

These come from Vivienne Westwood's recent Gold Label show.







And here it is being applied. I don't know who the makeup artist is.

Costuming Inspiration: Creepy

This is James Zirco Fisher's Krampus costume. I think he looks amazing. I'd love to do something along similar lines.



And here is Lady Gaga. I'm intrigued by the prosthetics, particularly the ones on her shoulders. Whoever did her makeup sure knows what they're doing.

Performance Inspiration

I want to do a dance performance to this song. If my idea goes over like it's playing out in my head, it will be riveting and intensely creepy. I have to do a lot of research for costuming/props/prosthetics before it can ever make it to the stage... not to mention the physical training/conditioning I need to do to let this come to fruition (I have some inversion and suspension in mind).

The imagery and the makeup in this video is intriguing to me, but completely unrelated to the idea I have in mind.

Music meme for the fuck of it. Day Four.

Music that makes me sad.

This.

And inexplicably, this:

Ariel

Stasis in darkness.
Then the substanceless blue
Pour of tor and distances.

God's lioness,
How one we grow,
Pivot of heels and knees!--The furrow

Splits and passes, sister to
The brown arc
Of the neck I cannot catch,

Nigger-eye
Berries cast dark
Hooks----

Black sweet blood mouthfuls,
Shadows.
Something else

Hauls me through air----
Thighs, hair;
Flakes from my heels.

White
Godiva, I unpeel----
Dead hands, dead stringencies.

And now I
Foam to wheat, a glitter of seas.
The child's cry

Melts in the wall.
And I
Am the arrow,

The dew that flies,
Suicidal, at one with the drive
Into the red

Eye, the cauldron of morning.
