This Weeks Make-Up Practice

Apologies for so few posts of late, things have been keeping me from writing but thought I would share what I have been up to with my face.

Graveyard Tea Time in Melbournes General Cemetery looked something like this
(Lunching in cemeteries was not always the cringe-inducing activity it is today. The Victorians loved a good shady spot under a tree to enjoy the more park-like cemeteries that developed in America around the mid-1800s — they were intended to be recreational areas for people to visit the dead and enjoy some leisure activities.) :

Below I'm practicing for 'Cinco de Mayo Celebrations on the 5th of May but if you can read Mexican you already know that. ( Essentially it commemorates the Mexican army's 1862 victory over France at the Battle of Puebla during the Franco-Mexican War (1861-1867). A relatively minor holiday in Mexico, in the United States Cinco de Mayo has evolved into a celebration of Mexican culture and heritage but here in Australia it's another excuse to dress up, drink tequila and wear sombreros ) 

And this is me getting ready to go to Cabaret Nocturne on Thursday night, I'm still missing my lip stick which was red and my hair isn't done but for Requiem  Saturday I have a "finished" shot for you all.
