Confessions of a Makeup Artist

A few confessions, I must admit:

1. Is it just me or does this long-haired white dog remind you of #horsesandbayonets or a unicorn, too?! Ever since the debates lent us the popular #horsesandbayonets meme, my sixth sense has kicked in. No, I don't see dead people. I see horses. Everywhere.
2. I've been googling "cute puppy pics" lately. There's just something about puppies that quickly brings a smile to my face. Which, of course, got me to thinking... Has the word "google" made it into the dictionary yet?
3. If this week keeps going like it is, the only makeup I'll wear this week will be mascara. Cases of the Mondays continuing throughout the week.
4. Burn all wooden spoons. I hate you. No one likes licking your dry butt. Burn your local ice cream man's spoons first because they're the worst. Let's also not forget these cooking utensils can give you splinters. Double whammy dangerous... no mas bueno...
5. I am super excited for Angelina Jolie to be playing Maleficent in 2013. Google the pics for a sneak peek. See there? I just used Google as a verb again. There's probably not a day that goes by where I don't tell someone to "Google it" or "I don't know. We should Google it!"

Enjoy your day.

Luv,
~J.~

Channing Tatum in Magic Mike

In other news, 
rumors are swirling that People Mag's Sexiest Man Alive 2013 will go to none other than Magic Mike, errr I mean Channing Tatum.

People Mag will not confirm or deny reports as they are to make the official announcement next week. 

Read more about 2013's sexiest contenders here. Enjoy. 

(All of them are in my Binders Full of Men..heh heh.)

Finally, allow me to introduce Justin Bieber's blow up doll. Sure, Halloween is finished for this year. I foresee plenty of pervy Halloween costumes next year regarding this blown-up wonder.

Good luck finding one, though. They're selling out like hot cakes. 

Do you prefer your Bieber to sing? Or be clothed? Click here to watch his new video, Beauty and a Beat. 

For some reason, he always puts me in a good mood. No, not that way. Not good enough to take out my Just-in Beaver. Your minds are in the gutter. Really. 
Happy Tuesday.

Is Nicki Minaj a social media Genius? 

Or is LL Cool J a ratchet-toting social media Samurai? 

Personally, I think they had Romney and Obama on speed dial. They knew exactly when #horsesandbayonets would trend. 

It just happens to be that Nicki's dressed up as a horse in her new video and we can't ignore the galloping white horses in the beginning of the video.

Nicki Minaj and LL Cool J clearly are friends. The proof is this pudding right here.

LL Cool J released "Ratchet" on YouTube, "the official lyric video behind the trend".
