Blake
Mrs. O
Delilah
Mary's Surgeon
Bluesboy
the Gardener
Lonesome Organist & Page Turner
Mr and/or Mrs Sender
Me & Mister

Blake -
Pink hair..pink gloves. Or red..i'm not sure.

Mrs. O -
Similar to my neighbour. Only Mrs. O bakes cookies for little children who play in snow. That's the image in my head..

the Gardener-
Well,to be honest,I don't have too much imagery for the gardener.He's in green..err..wheelbarrow.
I do,however have some degree of imagery for... (and this is where it gets hard to explain) ..the person who they plan to make a man out of.
He's ill looking..not too well at all..bruised,pale,skinny.
Although I could be completely wrong,because I've had two different imageries.

I also have imagery for Miss Cotton (the one who is quite the stubborn kind.)
She's got lots of blonde hair (LOTS) and .. i don't know. Maybe she's a figure of speech.I'm not good with figures of speech.


So there you go.That's a slight insight to what goes on in Meridian's mind on a daily basis. Amongst people stacking shelves full of knowledge that might become useful someday, there's actually some imagining going on.But not much.It's kind of state-the-obvious imagining.

i've dressed up as both amanda and brian before, but it wasnt for halloween.
i went to this neon bowling thing, and my friends and i thought it would be fun to dress up so i dressed up like amanda and she was brian.
also, we still like to play dress up, sooo that was another occasion where i dressed up like amanda [my friend was brian] and then we switched and i dressed as brian.
it was fun.

I wanted to be Amanda for this Halloween, and currently am trying to find the correct sealer for my eyebrows so I can put makeup over them and then draw in her eyebrows.

I've considered shaving my own off in the past, but I just can't bring myself to do it.

I found my sealer!

I bought it at a theatrical makeup and costume place.

I have Ben Nye Nose & Scar Wax (which is the color of skin, the other two are clear), Ben Nye Castor Sealer, and Mehron Fixative "A" Prosthetic Sealer. The mehron stuff still has the plastic seal on it, so I guess when I did it I decided I didn't need it. I think the castor sealer and prosthetic sealer can be substituted for eachother. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

I think the Nose & Scar Wax is first. You work it till it's soft then put it over the brows and smooth. Cover that with the castor sealer. Wait till all of it is completely dry before applying your makeup. I'm pretty sure that's how I did it. It turned out great.

I was gonna say, I wouldn't be surprised if it was Ben Nye.

Kevyn Aucoin illustrated the technique of covering brows in his books, but he never gave out product information so it was always difficult to find the right ones. Thanks!

That drives me crazy! I love his books and I always see a product I love and can never find it. I see his point in not sharing brands, but it's still annoying. Haha.

I'm thinking I can combine my original "low-matinence" idea with something crazy. I was thinking this year I might just stick an H on my forehead and see if anyone gets the joke (Red Dwarf...anyone...?). what I might do is get an incredibly outrageous outfit going on with the striped knee socks of course. I could be an incredibly outrageous/ eccentric holigram.

i had no clue you can do that. before when my friends and i dressed up as amandas and brians we just put on tons of white makeup over our eyebrows and it looked horrible.

what is it?? oooh sephora sells it eh?? I should go buy some, but fuck sephora never has sales, well they do but it last for like 20 minutes and they take off 2 cents off of everything. ugh.

it's a great thing I don't have bushy/thick eyebrows or else cake make-up on them wouldn't cover it up much. and I've wanted to buy some spirit gum to cover it up but I honestly don't know if it'll work. and if it does, will it tear off some of the hair's on my brows when i decide to take it off? anyway.

I've put spirit gum in someone's brows before, with disastrous results. He had a hard time getting it off.

It's eyebrow conditioning gel. It helps regrow sparse brows, but it saved my overplucked ones, so it'd help shaven brows grow back faster.

OHHHHHHHH. so let's pretend I forgot where my eyebrows once were, do I just swipe it around? and the hair grows where it's supposed to?
