Teenage Angst Travels

How does teenage angst travel?

One pensive and malcontent teenager becomes angry and/or sad with their life. She desires something else, something different. She could be happy, but instead she stews in that which does not please her or exist in her current life situation. She takes all that anger and all those pent up feelings and lets it ruminate in the depths of her soul. Oftentimes, she will discuss it with a friend, hoping to drag another vulnerable teenager into the infinite inferno that is ANGST. Anyway, the feelings of ANGST will rest in the soul of the teenager, sucking the spirit out of her. But eventually the ANGST bunny disappears. Where does the ANGST bunny go? Well I'm glad you asked; let me tell you.

The ANGST bunny remains within the soul of the teenager who created it until the teenager regurgitates all that ANGST onto another unsuspecting teenager (usually a confidante or close friend-those two don't always coincide). Every angst-y feeling must be told to the receiver. EVERY PIECE OF IT! There must be no filter or politesse about it. The ANGST bunny has to spill over into another soul, filling it up with all of its dark, dark bile. Then the originator of the ANGST is free. ANGST cannot be destroyed; one can only transfer its heavy weight into the soul of another adolescent.

(Side note: I am currently angst ridden, but as I haven't said why (and the internet is not a real person) I still have my ANGST bunny gnawing away at the life force that is my soul).

South Park

I'm currently watching South Park, one of my favorite shows ever, and I got to thinking about which South Park episodes are my favorite. So I've compiled a list of my top five South Park episodes.

1. Ginger People

2. Butter's Bottom Bitch

3. Tsst

4. Woodland Critter Christmas

5. The Ring

Close Runner Up: Scott Tenerman Must Die

These are the South Park episodes I always return to. I watch them at least twice a month and I still laugh as if I've just seen them. Just though I'd share. :-)

Recent Desires

Desires 1 by milanocookie featuring J Brand pants

Here is a list of my recent desires (mostly clothes):

1. J Brand Houlihan Skinny Stretch Cargo Pants: I just see them on my body. They're perfect. They graze the line of sexy and laid back. Too expensive for my current monetary sitution though. *shrug* life.

2. American Apparel Jacket: While it may not look like much in the picture (poo-poo on you AA model), I can see my self wearing this jacket. I love mixing preppy looks into my wardrobe. My friend once described my style as laid-back preppy with a touch too much of sexy. She's not lying; I'll probably pair this with a barely there shirt, really tight pants, or a short skirt sans leggings.

3. Orange-Red Lipstick: I already own this so technically it's not a desire, but I was lusting after it last week and I bought L'oreal Colour Riche Lipstick in Volcanic. I love it. It's bright. It's sexy. It's my precious. I even had the balls to wear it to school; it went over well. :-)

4. Zoe Saldana: I kind of want to be her. She is my current girl crush. I'll post about her (and my past girl crush Rachel Bilson) later.

5. Stylish Gray Sweatshirt: I'm really enjoying the sweats trend. It's super comfortable (obviously), and when done correctly, it can also be very sexy. Delightful.

6. Cool Bookbag for College: I'm not even gonna front...I want to look cool when I go to my new (undisclosed) college. I love this bag, and although it is overpriced and will probably not fit all of my books, I wantssss it.

Sade

Firstly,

I am NOT just noticing Sade coming back on the scene. I am simply taking the time to express my love for Sade.

I will not tell a lie, I was not always into Sade. My father was in love, I only liked "By Your Side." I didn't even like "Smooth Operator" (don't shoot me...it just wasn't and still isn't not for me). In any case, whatever element Sade added in the last nine years has made her music speak to my soul.

If you haven't checked out the album, listen to it. It's well worth it. The Robot Unicorn will rainbow attack you if you disagree :-)

Prom Dress Distress

Dear World of Fashion,

Please explain to me why I cannot find an open back dress in red or coral or peach or beige (either would be fine). No intense detail. Just well fitted. My dream dress would be Charlize Theron's orange Vera Wang dress, but I know that's not happening. If that dress in red or coral showed up at my door, I would b so excited. But seriously, the dress just needs to be simple and of gorgeous color. That's all I ask. Why won't you deliver world of fashion? If you don't, I'm going to show up to my prom in the nude or in something from American Apparel (one of those shiny numbers). Do you want that? WELL DO YOU? *audible sigh* I mean really...I kind of wish I had a large following so that they could suggest things. Oh well. I thought I was all set when I found my date, clearly I was sadly, sadly, mistaken.

MINE!

I can NOT deal with this.

Lady Is a Vamp

So...

While I was lollygagging this delightful Tuesday night/Wednesday morning, I decided to apply WAY too much makeup then wash my face, pee, wash my hands, brush my teeth, etc. This is what happened:

First I tried to do some contouring. I highlighted my brow bones, cheek bones, and cupid's bow. Then, I used a dark brown (slightly grayish) eyeshadow to sculpt.

Then, I used my regular spring/summer blush and I was set.

I looked in the mirror expecting to look like a adorable distant cousin from Tyra Banks, but instead I looked like me (which is perfectly great and all-self esteem *high five*) trying way too hard.

So then I kept going, and I opened up black eyeshadow...downhill from there. BUT. I discovered the beauty of black lip gloss. I put on a clear lipgloss then topped it with black eyeshadow, and the results were not Draculastic; instead, it looked gorgeous (in some serious juxtaposition with the zombie I created on my face). So...try black lip gloss and see what you think!

My suggestion: YSL lipgloss in Black. OR if you don't want to spend 29 dineros on a slightly-old trend, do what I did and just use black eyeshadow, clear/sheer gloss, and some lip-smacking and rubbing.

Au Revoir.
