10/11/12 Blue Eyebrows

Hmm cannot sleep. Lets make my eyebrows blue! Late nights + makeup + Photoshop = Fun and funky makeup photo shoot. ;) For some reason, at one point I seriously contemplated dying my eyebrows either blue or green. But then I realized that I was stupid and that you can totally make your eyebrows different colors with makeup! I just used an eye pencil and some shadow on my to achieve this blue. For Halloween I need to make them green to match my dinosaur costume! hehe~ <3

5/7/12 Salton Sea Photo Diary

Photography by the wonderful Ray Nikpour and Patrick!

Background story! Okay so my friend Ray is competing in an environmental video contest and I was his actress! We took about a three hour road trip out to the Salton Sea in Palm Springs during the weekend of Coachella (It's funny cause we went to Coachella without actually going to it hehe). After we arrived to an abandoned community, getting out of that car literally took my breath away. The air was no longer inhale-able burning my throat and noise with each breath of stinging pure salt. Anyway, after getting over the air and extreme heat we wandered the area and took the video. Did I mention there was no sand on that beach? The white sandy looking stuff surrounding the brown water is actually entirely made up of crushed fish bones and dead barnacles. NO LIE! Nevertheless, I cannot wait to see the final video though by Ray because I think the trip was so worth the apocalyptic scenery and the fact that I had a blast with my friends. <3
