"Oi, bom dia pessoal!!!

Bom, minha mãe passa já há mais de 10 anos por problemas psiquiatricos. Com 15 anos tatuei o nome de meu pai que aliás amo muito. Quando fiz 18 anos decidi fazer um par de asa de borboleta nas costas e pensei em escrever o nome da minha mãe, mas por consideração, pois a família achava errado o que havia feito para meu pai e pra ela não.

Foi quando em um momento de lucides, minha mãe pediu que fizesse algo que pudesse lembrar dela com carinho, sem rancor nenhum, e apartir dali olhasse pra aquela tatuagem e lembrasse de como ela era doce também e vivamos bem na maior parte tempo, quando estava cuidado de suas flores. Ela pediu que eu fizesse algumas rosas. Não fiz as asas mas e vi o quanto a amo e que ela me ama também, mesmo que não tenha conciência na maior parte do tempo. Ela é uma parte de mim muito especial e só posso dizer que estou ficando cada dia mais feliz, pois ela esta melhorando e a cada dia que passa temos uma novidade de que ela está vivendo melhor, convivemos com esses resultados vendo ela em casa sem crise e até saindo dos remedios.

Não entendo o que fez ela me pedir para fazer esse desenho mas foi o que nos aproximou e dai indiante a fez melhorar. Só tenho a agradecer.

Valeu pessoal.

Fat Tuesday Fantasy Makeup

Each year, Fat Tuesday Fantasy Makeup and Costumes are becoming more elaborate, with feathers, beads, glitter, colors, flowing fabric and exaggerated looks. Many have taken to professional Makeup Artists and Costume Stores to get decedent for Fat Tuesday, the last day of feast and fun before the Lenten Season. Each year the Carnivals seem to last longer, the parades more outrageous, and the crowds more willing participants. Hurricane Katrina damaged the concrete of New Orleans, Louisiana but not the Carnival Spirit in the hearty souls who inhabit the low Country in the USA. Only months after the most devastating Hurricane to strike the mainland USA in decades, the People of New Orleans were determined to produce a Carnival Season and a Fat Tuesday Celebration.

Years have passed since Katrina hit New Orleans, Louisiana, USA. Each year the Carnival and Fat Tuesday Celebrations and Festivities are returning to their former selves. Each Year more and more residents return and find themselves immersed in the indefatigable spirit that lives in the French Quarter of New Orleans during Carnival Season. For a day all the sorrow and hurt of devastating storms that have stuck the City of New Orleans are forgotten and lost in the Fantasy that is the Celebration of Fat Tuesday.

The Art of Avatar Makeup

Months before the release of Avatar the Mehron Blog told readers about the exciting changes that were coming in the use of Body Painting and Theatrical Makeup because of the release of this James Cameron classic. Since the release of Avatar, Makeup Artists around the world have become fascinated with the Avatar look and are adding their own artistic twists to the Avatar Look. At the recently completed 2010 Halloween & Party Expo held in Houston, Jinny Houle, while demonstrating the use of Paradise Makeup AQ, was caught by the cameras of the Houston Chronicles with her version of Avatar. Jinny turned Model Sindy Perez into an Avatar and was featured in the Houston Chronicle. out of the hundreds of photos of Makeup and Costumes that the Houston Chronicle reporter and photographer could have chosen to use in their feature story about the 2010 Halloween & Makeup Expo held in Houston, they chose to use Sindy Perez with her Avatar Look created by Jinny Houle

Jinny Houle changed Sindy Perez with Paradise Makeup AQ

On Body Painting Makeup Artist Web Sites versions of Avatars are appearing daily. Some Artists are just honing their skills, some are adding their personal twists to the Avatar look and some are wondering if their Avatar is a better interpretation of what James Cameron had in mind for Avatar. Avatar is only the beginning of an exciting new wave in Theatrical Makeup Application, it is the joining of Body Painting Makeup Art and Theatrical Makeup Art, the next generation of film and video that will be spawned by the release of Avatar will demand full body makeup coverage applied by masters of Body Painting Makeup with understanding of Theatrical Makeup. Three Dimension film and video will require that all Makeup Applications be complete, front, back and sides. It will require Makeup that provides a flawless coverage with a depth of color that is consistent day in and day out during the production.

The Jinny Houle Avatar created on Model Sindy Perez

In 2009, Mehron introduced to the public LUX Airbrush Makeup at the 2009 Halloween & Party Expo. The introduction LUX Airbrush Makeup by Mehron was in anticipation of what would be demanded by Makeup in the age of High Definition Video and Film, and Three Dimension Video and Film. In an interview with a makeup trade magazine in 2008 Martin Melik, the President of Mehron Makeup hinted at the coming evolution of Makeup without giving away the secret that LUX Airbrush Makeup was about to be introduced. LUX Airbrush Makeup provides everything that the Film and Video Industry will require for the new standard in high definition and three dimensional productions. Although LUX Airbrush Makeup provides the true, consistent depth of color that the future requires, it is also naturally based, infused with vitamins and is water resistant for durability during long days on the set. With its natural base of Green Tea and Vitamins, it will not damage the performers skin even when worn for those ten hour days.

Mario Ink, a Chicago,IL based Makeup Artist who is an Airbrush Makeup Specialist also shared his version of Avatar which he created using LUX Airbrush Makeup. Mario Ink had the benefit of being privy to LUX Airbrush Makeup before it was introduced to the public in 2009. LUX Airbrush Makeup was made available by Mehron to his Airbrush Academy in Chicago. His intricate knowledge of LUX Airbrush Makeup combined with his natural Air Brush Makeup Skills enable Mario to produce subtle changes in hues even while using the same color of LUX Airbrush Makeup in his Airbrush Gun. Mehron would like to thank Mario Ink for sharing his talents with Mehron fans by providing Mehron with the use of his Avatar created with LUX AirBrush Makeup and looks forward to seeing more of his work throughout 2010.
