instant vintage : 12.2009 : …things last weekend taught me… (Confessions, Moment of Vanity)

  • Dermablend concealer is magic in a tube
  • rain sucks, but running through it with your mom is extremely fun
  • I’d rather have a root canal than wake up early on Sunday
  • dudeguy has a much better eye for proportion and shape than I do
  • 2012 wasn’t as terrible as I thought it would be…because Chewy is in it
  • I’m finally learning how to control my hysteria (w00t!)
  • I need to take more risks
  • after the marathon this weekend, I’m sure I’ve seen every episode of Law & Order: CI
  • waking up is HARD.TO.DO.

after months of dodging, I finally took up the challenge to post a photo sans makeup…and went WAY left.

This is me when I wake up in the morning; disoriented, slightly congested, in dire need of a cup of tea, and a general hot ass mess.  It’s amazing what the aforementioned concealer, powder, groomed eyebrows, and a flat iron can do.  PRAISE JAH!

UPDATE: Per your request, here is a blurry after shot.  I’ll post a proper before and after sometime in the future.  =D

    Hey, you look better without makeup than I do!

    also re: controlling hysteria/anxiety, I always feel like a nutbag saying it, but meditation & yoga worked wonders for me.

    and I don’t care who is in it, I think someone would have to pay me to see 2012…I might rent it when it comes out for sheer laughs :P

    We’ve talked about yoga, but seriously Alicia it works wonders. Whenever I’m having a crappy day, I light a candle in my room and go at it. I feel so good afterwards. In fact, I’m about go at it right now….. :)

    I think you look beautiful! :P Really. You are beautiful without makeup. And I love your natural hair, too. (Have you seen “Good Hair”? It’s a hilarious yet revealing/informative documentary by Chris Rock.)
    I like the photos in general :)

    Taking more risks is always good to do.

    You learned more this weekend than I did concerning International Law (fuck my life).

    I’m completely obsessed with your blog. I can’t believe I haven’t come across you before?

    And I think you’re the only blogger with the Acne “ice skates” that has rocked them consistently and well. I don’t know if you got them for free in the “top blogger swag-a-thon” but either way, you’re getting the money’s worth out of them!

    And this goes without saying but I’ve instantly bookmarked you. Expect more comments. : )

    I wish I could look that way with no makeup! Great pictures! I would also rather have a root canal than wake up early on Sunday also. It’s like torture.
