MAKEUP MONDAY ♥ $1 GAGA SKELETON

It's here and I'm sad it will be gone for a year. :( I love Halloween. I don't think I posted the below tutorial yet, and I had to because it's amazing. AMAZING. And she makes it so easy. I do have a load of makeup things to show you, but I'll wait until next week. So enjoy the makeup vid below for the $1 LADY GAGA "BORN THIS WAY" SKELETON and I'll post one more after this and then have a HAPPY HALLOWEEN!♡

SUNDAY MATINEE ♥ CARNIVAL OF SOULS

Now I will be the first to admit what a wuss I am and how I never watch scary movies, except for Alfred Hitchcock. But a while back, I was watching TCM and Carnival of Souls (1962) came on and I had heard about what an influence this low-budget film has been on the entire horror industry and to the horror film/creator greats. So, I thought I'd see if I could bear watching it. It is pretty creepy, but it's also incredibly gorgeous looking. I especially love the use of black and white with the lack of budget they had. And the star, Candace Hilligoss, is as pretty as any Hitchcock beauty. And, I mean, just look at how gorgeous that old movie poster is. So as a Halloween treat, I have a link where you can watch the entire film if you have the time today. Click HERE or click on the image below to see the full movie. HAPPY HALLOWEEN!! XX♡


SUN MATINEE ♥ HALLOWEEN SPOOKY

So...if you feel like a little fun, then watch the Haul video from YouTube guru below (not every stylish or anything, but for work I follow almost everything to know what's up...not just the uber stylee people) and see how freaked out she gets. It's very real how scared she is. And, if you're into orbs (or not), you can def see orbs flying around in the video. In any case, it's very apropos for Halloween because she just posted it this week. PS I do have some awesome movie/fashion posts coming up for future Sundays. Stay tuned!♡

SATURDAY SHOW ♥ ACE FREHLEY HALLOWEEN KICKS ASS

I'll post something fashion-y later today, but wanted to make sure to get this. It's a pretty good tutorial of one of my favorites, ACE FREHLEY FROM KISS. I'm probably going to be him on Monday. Donatella Versace costume is more for a party, but I haven't really totally decided. I just thought walking around on Monday as Ace would be more like Halloween as opposed to walking around like Donatella which might not look like a costume if you're not at a party. :) She, the girl in the tutorial, did a pretty good job only she forgot the dark blue eyeshadow that Ace always has. I think it's easy to accessorize and I have some shoes I bought in high school that are massive like the ones KISS wears. (I'll do a post of my high school vintage shoes. They're all still in the closet at my parents' house and they are crazy good.)♡

one of my fave pics of Ace from the 70s in New York City.

i bought the Gene Simmons record when i was a little kid from a sale bin. but Ace's record is really a lot better.
