Accidental hipster
Sooo my new frames. Was aiming for retro and once the hipster fad is over hopefully this will be retro again 🙂
Sorry for no make up I had just moisturised and put anti frizz stuff in my hair.
So.. Polar fleece isn't period?
Just kidding but so much want. Sigh. I could wear it even. But I do have some screaming magenta wool-ish with a feathery herringbone weave that could work… I think it is ever so slightly earlier based on seams and fad for analine dyes…

I’m a strong independent gamer who needs no tutorial
Shit how do I walk
lol! Except I *know* I’m an average gamer. No word of lie first game I played in over a decade (aside from Angry Birds) was as a beta weekend tester (2nd to last so I was still under a shush order!) and I created my first toon, got her to the ramp (Sith Inquisitor, so I hadn’t even done anything) and shut the whole damn thing down because HOMG OTHER PAYERS HOW DO I WALK WHAT IF THEY SEEE MEEEE!!!!! And yeah. That said the next weekend I stomped my way through 15 levels blood shot eyed and high on the pew pew pew.
Also first attempt at ME2? Umm my controls had my mouse set for left hander and it kept resetting to hard mode so that was a little tricky! Shooting? Try those damn puzzles with a mouse that works back to front and upside down and you didn’t realise! I think it was because I was borrowing a computer set to left hand mousing?
I’d love to play more games but my SSD and motherboard are not happy with extra hard drives and stress. Also healt hblahblahblah.
Hello LJ!!!

Our wasps are not quite this big. But only just not that big. Had it confirmed that we have big bastard wasps ditto with bumble bees- which are that big. And they always, always wind up in the lounge or my workroom buzzing angrily.
Sorry, no photos as I’m usually doing the Godzilla thing above.
A thingy I thought might help someone. And it’s super easy mode.
    Dudes. Please. Don’t ever fucking put acrylic paint onto your skin. Even deco paint. Even watercolor, and never oils. Even if you mix it with skin safe paint. Don’t paint with your fingers without gloves. Don’t apply it like makeup. Even a small amount.That is absolutely not what it’s for. Ask any art student who’s had to sit through ten different Hazardous Material lectures.
   Seriously. I feel like I’m going to be shouting this from my death bed. Acrylic paints are not intended for use on skin, they can contain anything from Manganese, Cobalt, Cadmium, and even lead. Don’t do it.
   My friend has severe nerve damage from constantly painting with his fingers. The Tin-man practically died from this shit. Come onnnn. And now five thousand people are going to do this. Lord.
save a life and reblog so maybe those cosplayers won’t do this.
HazMat isn’t considered HazMat without reason. Do. Not. Do. This.
yeah, i started reading this and was like “wow i really hope this is one of those posts where someone details everything that is wrong and tells people that they need to not be dumb fucks and put acrylics on their skin.” glad i was right.
I’m guessing the paints they’re using in art school are not the same as the kids’ craft paints used here.
Acrylic paint is one of the primary components of Pax, a body paint used not just in the cosplay community but also in special effects makeup for film. For amateur use, most people use craft store acrylic but even pre-mixed Pax is made with Liquitex – which is, yes, acrylic paint.
Forgive me for not taking one person’s negative experiences with a certain kind of paint as indicative of the safety of every acrylic paint ever.
Hi! That’s my friend and she has a lot of discussion about this!! Above person (tricksterweeaboostories) is right!!
This is based off the very popular body paint style PAX.
As long as the acrylic paint is suspended in another medium it is okay!! NEVER PUT ACRYLIC PAINT DIRECTLY ON YOUR SKIN but this is okay!!!
Don’t use dollar store paint though!! Actually spend the $2.75 or whatever for a bottle of non toxic paint 🙂
Thankfully someone mentioned Pax, which is a mix of Prosaide (prosthetic adhesive) and Liquitex Acrylic paint, hence it’s shortened name. There are quite a few types of acrylic, avoid ones that have names such as cadmium blue and stick to the ones that say non toxic and you are fine, although avoid putting this on the face as it’s a swine to remove.
Sadly yes, there are brands that use dodgy pigments which is why there is super suspicion about the use of acrylic paints on the face.
But consider this. Pros Aide *is* an acrylic glue and is used as a medical device. Liquiset *is* an acrylic product and is formulated as a cosmetic.
Unfortunately when it comes to labeling goods companies have to say things like “dry clean only” when it is perfectly safe to wash at home (usually on cold and low spin settings) or to avoid off label uses as a precaution against being sued.Â
That said, be cautious and make sure you have something you are comfortable with.

Someone spent the evening meowing and pushing things over and now he has invaded and abandoned my lap. I think he is bored.
That is his smug got his way look. He may have gone looking for food now.
I think that is my hand you see reflected in his eyes. His big big eyes….
(He is now trying to defeat the curtain in order to sit on the windowsill…… And done.)
