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. :)

Ebay Item: Rhinestone Claw Rings (Review)

Hello ladies and gents

I have been thinking I should be doing reviews of products I've gotten through ebay and the like.  

(I mostly want to review ebay purchases though)

One thing is for certain, when I attempt to purchase something, I try to see if someone has a review based on the product I want to purchase but sadly I never find any, so I end up taking risks that sometimes never live up to my standards..but sometimes I end up getting more than I bargained for, so it's all a huge surprise either way. 

I want to help other people out here who like pretty things but are too scared to buy them for the fear they might get their money taken without a word. 

(believe me, I've had it done to be many times on ebay!) 

So I will start posting reviews on things I either find worthy enough for a post or even things I found completely ridiculous, so many of you can watch out for this said retailer and the product. 

(NOTE: Everything I will review I bought with my own money! I just decided to review them on my own time. I am not being paid or anything for this review.)

The first thing that has come in the mail is the following:
Rhinestone claw rings 

From the ebay seller "coolarea"

Willy Wonka by Hannabal Marie

Hellou ladies and gentlemen

Allow me to first start off by stating that anything Tim Burton related will and MUST be done. 

I shall have this blog packed full of TB related things until your eyes fall out. (So stay tuned for future Tim Burton thingies..and Johnny Depp in general)

Anywho, as you've already read from the title, this is going to be the Willy Wonka Johnny Depp did. 

I attempted a transformation, if you will, last night....and I am quite happy with the results. Especially coming from a lady-like face o' mine...trying to recreate his hard bone structure was a tad bit difficult but I think I did THIS piece justice. 

The products I used (to get them out of the way) were:

>Brown/Black/White Liner Pencils from Wet N Wild

 >Liquid Eyeliner from ELF

>Brown Contouring Powder

>Hightlight powder

>Pearly Pink lipstick from Jordana

 

Extras:

Hat

Gloves

Contacts

Dressy "Chocolate-y" Colored Shirt

Dark Blue Hoop Neck Shirt

Plum Button Down Shirt to cover over it all

Brooch (I made)

 

 These are the photos I took reference from:

 Anywho, with all these references, I sketched out my idea and I came up with this:

"Chewing gum is really gross. Chewing gum I hate the most."

"It's in the fridge, Daddy-o! Are you hip to the jive? Can you dig what I'm layin' down? I knew that you could-- slide me some skin, Soul Brother."

  "Don't touch that squirrel's nuts! You'll make him crazy!"

Anywho, I hope you liked this post.
And in the words of Willy himself, 

"You smell like old people, and... soup. I like it!" I do...oh how I do! <3

Anita Blake by Hannabal Marie

Hello ladies and gents, 

I have been a huge Anita Blake: Vampire Hunter Series fan since the first time I picked up one of Laurell K. Hamilton's books. 

I instantly fell in love with the main woman herself. I wanted to do this look since forever but I lacked contacts and a wig until now, so I thought I'd give her a shot. 

 I attempted to do a sort of "transformation" look, so I hope you enjoy. :)

The products were simple:
>red lipstick from Jordana

>Brown Contour powder

>Highlight Powder

>Brown/Black Eyeliner Pencils

>Liquid Eyeliner in Black

Extras: 

Curly Black Wig

Blue Contact Lenses

Cross Necklace

Red Shirt

Gun Holsters (I used a old brown pirate belt)

And Plush Penguin because Anita loves her Penguins!

That is all...that jazz!

Easter Bunny Makeup by Hannabal Marie!

I never got around to actually posting my Easter look. 

Apologies, and to be completely frank, I might be late on lots of holidays unless I don't happen to be busy or if I simply forgotten about 'em and somehow I get reminded, so just keep that in mind. Haha!
anywho, I didn't quite do much on this holiday and I wasn't expecting to do much but as being the custom in my life, I didn't want to NOT do anything...so i just quickly threw some makeup on and paraded around the house until I felt like washing it off. (haha)

 I just wanted an excuse to take a pic with a chocolate rabbit. 

My mum gave me the rings and asked for me to do a 'makeup look' inspired by them. 

so in a way, these looks are for her.

Anywho, like I said...this is a pointless post but I needed to get 'em out here in the open before I forgot any further. Besides they were taking up some room on my computer...not much but some. HAHA!

Hannabal Marie Talks #1

Those of you who follow me on Facebook know that I do a lot of talking.

I post lots of status's about this and that...that's and this's. 

But I can't help but feel that people are annoyed with me on there, clogging up their newsfeed with mumbo jumbo...so I have taken into consideration the idea of a mini extra portion I could do on this blog. 

A "Hannabal Speaks" section where I rant and rave about things that either intrigue me or confuse me or a mixture of both. 

I don't expect many to respond nor do I expect people to care, but at least it is in my domain and you had to visit my world to see it. 

Anywho, I have a story to tell:

While walking in the park today, an elderly woman was sitting down on the park bench. 

She didn't quite belong there, the whole scene just looked like one of those paintings where the center point is just way off. she looked like a vintage burlesque performer who'd seen better days but came to reminisce on past times....

She looked so lonely and so...tired. She had makeup on, but barely enough there..like she attempted to apply but just didn't bother. Her clothing was odd as well, something that I don't see anyone (and I do repeat) anyone...ever wear around Lodi but me...high collared shirt with ruffles, a brooch, a velvet vest and a long off-white colored skirt. 

She crossed her legs and revealed pointy toed shoes. She was something out of my very dreams. So elegant, so refined, so unlike Lodi. I decided to sit next to her and do what I do...the random chit chat. We spoke about the old burlesque, we sung old show tunes both off pitch but not caring, we confessed our love for Liza Minnelli...I swear it was like looking into a mirror. I asked for her name but she never answered...she just smiled and said that it was so sweet that I can express myself without care because men in her past life had to hide their creativity. She then just stood up, dusted off her skirt and walked in the opposite direction. It was like she just up and vanished. She was gone in a blink of an eye.

Despite the fact she thought I was a man in makeup..ehem...ehem...(haha) She was such an amazing person. Ya know those stories where people say they encountered themselves in a different point in their life? I think I might have today. It makes me wonder. It also makes me worry...will I be that old lady who remains in parks alone...thinking of all my past things...looking restless and tired....and addressing strange females as "he's"! Oh my!
