Are the Betas on the lips photoshopped on? The one on the right-the tail is in the ether.

Great choice of photos, I love the first one you picked. I do see a nipple in one of them so you'd better link it before your thread gets locked.

I'm up, can't sleep, watching YouTube videos. Decided to take a few screencaps from some inspirational videos. I intended to have more variety than Bjork, but damn it, the pixie has the game on lock.

Any who, since the quality of the screencaps are crap for the most part, if you click on the link it'll take you to the video. Enjoy!

I'm not going to post pictures on here, because what's here already is not loading very quickly for me... But everyone should check out the book Jazz Age Beauties... photography by Alfred Cheney Johnston, and I love pretty much everything.  I loved it so much, a photographer I worked with that also liked it, bought me it as sort of a "wrap" present.  I also like gather abstract themes and organic matter for ideas, like flowers, rainbows, landscapes (painted my face like a sunset for a makeup project in college).  I like ethnic makeup (ie Beijing Opera), and really anything that challenges norms.  I like a lot of Kabuki's work and for another makeup class, we had to recreate his webbed eye"lash" look.  I learned they weren't exactly lashes because they have to sit at the crease or you can barely open your eyes.  And of course, sculpture and paintings inspire me.  If you're in Philly, the Rodin museum is something I fell in love with.  Could be cool to paint models into things like The Kiss or Possession... smile

The first four are from a NYT Magazine feature several years ago; a few are from ANTM; the rest were picked up at random (and are a few years old - sadly I haven't been adding to my folder lately!)
