May 14, 2015, A Date Worth Remembering ☛ Tom Waits On David Letterman!

(Above image found on google. I don't own the image.)

 Hello ladies and gentleman!

As all of you are already in the know about...

David Letterman is coming off-air soon and as one of his final guests, 

he had my all time favorite man on his show to do a lovely performance and interview. 

 Mister Tom Waits!

So as I and everyone who knows me is concerned....

I brewed myself some joe and waited for my man to come on....

As proof of this crime...here is a photo....for...ya know? evidence. 

 11 o'clock just around the corner. 

I just want to state, to those who think I'm making a big deal for nothing, that Mister Waits hasn't made an appearance in such a long time. 

So this is kinda a big deal to me and all other waits' lovers out here. 

It's like Christmas....in may. 

 I can't stress how much I was crying from seeing his name in highlights. 

I...I...I...

Somebody pinch me!

The interview was amazing. 

I took a very shaky video, but I don't think it gives it any justice...

so I'm not gonna even bother with posting the shaky nonsense. 

I guess it's easy to say that I wouldn't make it as a professional movie bootlegger. ;D

...so for those of you who are curious or who wish to see it again...

here is a better version of the same interview...

It's just amazing to see how well and amazing he still is, despite the lack of him we have had. 

My heart flutters for this magical man.

The mug of the man who first appeared on Letterman! :)

 During his speech and interview with Letterman...

one thing spoke to me among everything else....

and that one thing was this wise bit of wisdom:

Rough times calls for rough measures.

Free them, people. 

SET THEM FREE!

Those poor glutens...standing in line for salads and such. 

Poor guys.

anywho, 

as the interview went on, so did waits. 

he ended with a song that touched me dearly.

"Take One Last Look" was so darn beautiful. 

Damn you, Waits. 

Damn you for still bringing tears into my eyes.

and here is the song, for all ye curious eyes. 

That's it, folks.

Lovely little feature, Lovely little tune. 

Lovely little Waits. 

So worth the midnight stay up. haha.

Let me just say, a little someone slept real wonderfully with dreams of nonsense that night...er..morning. 

Thank you, Waits. 

Thank you for another lovely performance and showing. 

I love you!

☕ Work In Progress: 'Who Are You?!" A Paper Mache Tom Waits Face Plaque by Hannabal Marie! ☕

 Hello ladies and gentlefish.

Sorry I have been away, I've been in a sorta runt...

so I just needed a reason to keep myself from thinkin' and this is the reason I bring before you. 

I got into the paper mache again and I designed a Tom Waits wall plaque to put on my wall. Complete with removable ciggy that can, when inserted into Mr. Waits mouth, have a incense stick stuck inside to give it that extra PAH-ZOOM!

(I actually have Coffee scented incense sticks! So it fits perfectly with my theme! ;D HA!)

For those of you who don't know who he is, shame on you...shammmme.
he is the main inspiration behind loads of things...even some stuff I am sure you admire and love yourself. From music that other composers covered, The cookie monster himself...and the inspiration behind Heath Ledger's Joker! 
(to name a few!)

I just really love this man, to itty bitty box-filled pieces!

✞ Big Black Mariah Goes Clang Boom Steam! (A Tom Waits Tribute!) by Hannabal Marie ✞

Hello Ladies & Gentlefish...

I have a Tom Waits inspired look to show today

I am quite obsessed with Mr. Waits and have been for a loooong time...

so I have made it my duty to create stuff inspired by the man who inspires my insanity! haha!

So today I decided to bring life to one of my favorite songs of all time...

BIG BLACK MARIAH!

 

 "Well cutting through the cane break, rattling the sill
Thunder that the rain makes when the shadow tops the hill
Big light on the back street, hill to ever more
Packing down the ladder with the hammer to the floor
Here come the Big Black Mariah, here come the Big Black Mariah
Here come the Big Black Mariah, I seen the big black Ford
Well he's all boxed up on a red belle dame
Hunted Black Johnny with a blind man's cane
A yellow bullet with a rag out in the wind
An old blind tiger, got an old bell Jim
Here come the Big Black Mariah, here come the Big Black Mariah
Here come the Big Black Mariah, here come the big black Ford
Sent to the skies on a Benny Jag Blue
Off to bed without his supper like a Linda brides do
He got to do the story with the old widow Jones
Got a wooden coat, this boy is never coming home
Here come the Big Black Mariah, here come the Big Black Mariah
Here come the Big Black Mariah, I seen that big black Ford
Cut through the canebrake, oh yeah
Well he's all boxed up on a red belle dame
Flat Blue Johnny with a blind man's cane
A hundred yellow bullets shook a rag out in the wind
An old blind tiger, on a bell you win
Here come the Big Black Mariah, here come the Big Black Mariah
Here come the Big Black Mariah, here come the big black Ford"

Here comes the BIG BLACK MARIAH.....

 

 

I kept to the lyrics to create this look. 

I took inspiration as follows:
-Sent to the skies on the benny jag BLUE. (A Drug Induced Depression..I.E: TEARS!)
-Since this was about a big black hearse, I kept it as dark and “gothic” as possible.
-Since it’s about a CAR…I thought I make some road lips.
-Dressed in all black…like big mariah.
-You can’t see my arm here, but in previous photos….if you look at my hand…I tried to do a snake skin pattern. More importantly, a “canebrake rattlesnake” pattern. (in the lyrics he says: “Cutting through the CANEBRAKE, RATTLING the sill”…I just messed around with the lyrics. So yep.
And lastly, I put myself ALL BOXED UP…in a coffin image on my page as well as a homemade car rear prop to boot. So yep…I’m an obsessed fan who takes her music and makeup quite literally! ;D HA!

...I'm an obsessed fan who takes her music and makeup quite literally! ;D HA!

 

 Why is the hammer on the floor? 
Because...I put the hammer
....to the floor! ;D HA!

 I made this custom car rear-end prop for this look.
I was inspired by ANOTHER song of Tom Waits'. 
"Clang Boom Steam"

 The outfit for Big Black Mariah!

 I liked the effect this image had, so I made a college of it. 
It turned out really amazing, perfect for Big Black Mariah!

 The rear end again.

The lyrics that inspired me were:
"My Baby's So Fine...
...Even Her Car Looks Good From Behind!"

 another outfit shot from the mirror view! Ladies love mirror views!

 I had this shoes for a looooong time. I wanted to do something with 'em, so I put them with the look. Turned out fine. 
I also had these stripped tights, went well with the whole "car" theme. 

another college of another cool image I had. 
 

 another tights/crotch shot. 

 I also did a little gif AND video for you to end this post with!

Website Review: Future Baby.Org

I found a website (futurebaby.org) 

where you can find out what you and your crush's baby would look like. 

I assume it's for lovers who want to see if their genes are fine enough to combine into a child. 

So....as is custom with me and mine....

I mashed the photos of me and Tom Waits together to form our child....

I'm a bit sad that the kid isn't real

He's a cutie! :'(

I thought the kid was too cute to just delete off my computer, so I wanted to create a post dedicated to the child I'll never have. 

(Also this is review-y post about the website, to those of you who want to mess around with it. 

Yep, I'm sticking to that excuse and not the truth: A fan obsessed crazy woman wanting to have fan obsessed baby with Tom Waits! HA!)

Anywho, 

how it works is that you upload an image of the "mother & father" according to the slots and it customizes your images to form your baby.

So let us all see the proud parents......

MOTHER:

&

FATHER:

and now....onto the cutest thing to happen to me besides the birth of my 21 cats........HA!

Baby Hannabal/Waits! <3

I'd say he has his fathers eyes.....and his mothers crazy lost stare.....
I can't stress enough how MUCH I REALLY WANT TO HAVE THIS KID RIGHT MEOW!
but alas....
a woman can only dream......

okay...that is all...I think I made quite the fool of myself....
I promise you....my obsession and love for Tom Waits isn't too crazy....it's just the right amount of it. :)

I shall take my leave now.
See ya'll upon the next post!

Such A Scream by Hannabal Marie!

Hello ladies and gents.
Sorry for my delay, I had some dental work done and I haven't been feeling like myself.
Besides the pain, the weather tends to make me want to rip off my skin.

But in the words of Tom Waits himself, "T'ain't no sin, to take off your skin and dance around in your bones." SO I just might take him up on that idea. (heh)

Anywho, I wanted to do SOMETHING before my fanbase completely went away...and claiming heat and a sore jaw will only do SO much after a short while...soooo I thought, to keep you happy and to wet your artistic whistles, I'd do (yet again) another tribute to another one of Tom Waits songs. This time it's "Such a scream".

In case you're wondering, I love Tom Waits and doing makeups inspired by him WILL be done on this blog. I have YET to prove my love for him, so if you like (or even if you don't) You will be seeing LOTS more things for/by/inspired by him!

I still feel as if I haven't done the fellow songs I've done justice but eh....it's shall be okay....for now! XD
anywho, here is the lyrics to the song....and a link so you can pop it on while you look at my images. It'll give you a good visual of my mind when I was doing these. Also it's FOR the song, so yeah........

"Well Pale Face said
To the Eyeball Kid
She just goes clank and boom and steam
A halo, wings, horns and a tail
Shoveling coal inside my dreams
There are no laws
She's made of cream
She's such a scream

Qui bon tres bien, nails in cement
A Donnie gal from mortal clay
The plow is red
The well is full inside
The dollhouse of her skull
A cheetah coat fills up with steam
She's such a scream

All crooked lines
Her fireplace
A milktrain so clean
Machine gun haste
You'll ride the only wall of shame
And drag that chain across the state
Her lips are red
She is the queen
She's such a scream" 

 

Now my work of art: 

 

 Just a quickie little makeup look that honestly wasn't that hard. So I feel I don't need to post the things I used. Just basic liquid liner, mascara, lashes, brown shadow for contour, and red lipstick.

 

 since I felt I needed something more to add to this post, here are some random edited images for you all to go along with the song in better detail. Enjoy!

 That is all, I hope you liked it and I hope I haven't made you leave just yet! I have so much more to offer, so please stay tuned. :)
