Today is My Shoot With Jenna Von Filth and Jeff Higdon

2009-09-26T07:13:00.003-05:00

I am all agog!!!! It went wonderfully. I love working with Jeff AND the gorgeous, Jenna Von Filth. I also had the pleasure of meeting with her beautiful friend, as well. Here are a few, teaser pics..

Here's the beautiful Jenna Von Filth just before getting into her costume..

Classic, Clean, Historical Gothic Vixen (pics from the stables coming soon!)

These pics are for the most part, sans any editing, she truly is that stunning! Can't wait to see the rest of the pics and work with them again. It was such a joy! Hard work but worth it in every way. Jenna is a star!! Higdon is a genius too. What a lovely, fulfilling day. :)

Model Mayhem Numbers For Jenna (1st) and Jeff (2nd): 1186538 and 698731

luv,
jessie <--- My Model Mayhem Number is: 1313714

I'm excited for my shoot on the 26th,,this SAT,!!!

2009-09-22T18:05:00.004-05:00

Of course, I'll be playing MUA and I have something wicked in mind for this darling, 16 year old, wild child. The photographer seems awesome and passionate about his work...a lil nuts maybe, but most geniuses are. The theme is Historic Gothic and I have a good idea about different eye shapes and colors I'm going to use on her.

The model is Jenna Von Filth and the photographer is Jeff Higdon..I believe that's right. I'm expecting to have yet another incredible addition to my portfolio. I'm inspired still from the ElleV shoot. I'm starting to dig this MUA gig. I wanna do it more but my body says, "YOU SUCK!" so it's a constant fight. Here is Jenna:

She made this for me!

She's beautiful and has amazing features I can work with. I already have an idea of what I can do for her to make the shoot ethereally incredible. Her mom will be present, of course..

Here is her photographer's Model Mayhem #698731. Mr. JHigdon..I encourage you all to look at his work as I find it out of this world. I'm honored to be working with both of them and will absolutely post the results once I get my grubby lil paws on them. Apparently, the amazingly talented, Jade Noir still has some close up, beauty shots to send me that will showcase the make up I did on the incomparable, ElleV.

Just thoughts......

My High Fashion PhotoShoot with ElleV and Jade Noir (Robynnicole) on Hair

2009-09-21T07:21:00.007-05:00

From the shoot:

Jade Noir was photographer and Robynnicole was Hair Stylist...I, of course was the Make Up Artist!!!! YAY! I did a modern day take of Victorian Era Inspired Make Up..came out wonderful.

She looks so ethereal...

This one looks like she's growing out of a fierce ass tree, ifn ya know what I mean..Elle was a dream to work with..so was Robyn. Jade, unfortunately I was unable to meet due to health constraints but she loved my work. YAY!!!! And I love her work so I giess it all works out. I really hope to work with them all in the future since this shoot went so well.

Click the pic to see the close up of the make up!!

Here are some pics, pre-shoot at my apartment!!! Sneak peaks found only on the Mad Madam Jess blogspot!!

All in all, we had a ball and I met some very influential people. I have a paying gig on the 26th that I'm looking forward to. Hopefully there's work for a MUA like me. I'm also KINDA thinking about opening a MUA account for modeling as well. Not too sure on that yet but it's a thought for the future. Right now, I definitely wanna just build up my portfolio and become the premier MUA in San Antonio, TX! Here's a hopin'!

A Photo Manipulation by BB and a Plea For Donations..

2009-09-10T12:06:00.006-05:00

Manipulated by Blair Black at SBW..

On top of all my countless other health problems, I now have been diagnosed with Marfan's Hypermobility Syndrome..I would NEVER ask if I didn't need the money. If you have a few dollars to spare, click the donate button on the top left to donate a few bucks or whatever you can spare to help me and my husband cover medical bills and treatments. Right now, I have no quality of life so I feel the need to be honest and desperate. Thanks in advance, sweethearts..karma will come back to you..

As an added bonus, if you donate any amount of money, I will fulfill any video request within reason, of course and do everything I can to promote your blog, channel, company, the whole sha-bang.

Not to mention that I'll keep up with my art no matter what, throughout the treatment of my illnesses which are many and so freakin' complicated. I'm falling apart from the inside out. Please donate what you can.

ReAcToR Question!!..YOU'RE QUESTIONS..ANSWERED!!

2009-08-26T18:11:00.004-05:00

That's right, folks!! And from now on..you're all welcome to bring it on!! Ask me questions about beauty..skin care (I AM an Esthetician, you know..), make up, beauty, fashion...or get personal...I may or may not answer you honestly, so remember that when preparing your question. MUAHAHAHAH! Simply leave a comment with the question and I'm on it! It's that easy, really. Just try it.

So today, I got a question..

"Why is your skin so flawless?!" - Renay101

First off, let me assure you, Renay..my skin is certainly NOT flawless!! :) I have every problem a typical, 26 year old woman would have..including: hormonal issues, discoloration, uneven skin tone, fine lines and wrinkles. I have a horrible web cam attached to my computer monitor, that I use to record my videos, for the most part. SMOKE AND MIRRORS AND SHITTY WEBCAMS! It DOES hide a whole bunch of minor skin issues that I have going on at the moment.

Second and most importantly, I can admit that I do have fairly good skin because I know how to take care of it. It's all about knowing your individual skin type and knowing the best/ most affordable way to treat it. You can do this by adopting a consistent and appropriate skin routine to allow your individual skin type function it's best, all on it's own!

One important step to achieving flawless skin is proper EXFOLIATION. I use an Aspirin scrub every other day to keep my skin cells rejuvenated and to slough off all the gunk that I don't want to be there. This will ensure the perfect canvas for any make up application. I highly recommend incorporating an Aspirin mask or scrub into your skin care routine as it is highly affordable and effective way to exfoliate your skin. Why, you ask? Well, darlins, it's the Salicylic Acid that is in the Aspirin!! So make sure to get the un-coated variety to dissolve them much faster. The coated kind WILL work, though it's a bit more of a hassle getting them to dissolve.

I use 7-8 pills and dissolve in the shower's hot water..about a drop per pill's worth. When I can mash them all into a paste with my finger..it's ready to be applied, GENTLY, to the face in circular motions. Make sure you've properly cleansed beforehand! Let the Aspirin sit on your skin and allow the Salicylic Acid to dissolve all the crap on your skin that creates build up and nastiness for about 10-15 minutes..the length of your shower. Wow, that was a run on sentence if I ever did see one!! Well, there's your answer, Renay..

See? It's easy! Just post a comment question to this blog post..or future ReAcToR blog posts..and I'll pick one every so often to respond to..and voila. There you go! It's fun, ain't it?!

:)

1006 Subscribers to My YouTube Channel? And a note..

2009-08-25T13:54:00.005-05:00

It's true!! Click here to go check out my youtube channel, subscribe and be part of the madness!!
I don't know what to say other than it is completely unreal to me, since I figured I'd be looking at around 100 subscribers..tops. I love all my subbies and plan on doing a special video for you all tomorrow! So expect it up soon.

Also, I'm sure many of you already know I have a husband whom I love more than life, itself. His name is Ted and he's my crazy man.

He blogs as well...on blog spot..I urge you all to check out his blog..click here to see my husband's blog, Drone.Devil!

Here's his "About Me"..

I am an artsy fag. Get used to it because maybe, just maybe, one day you will all be unlucky enough to subjected to one of my "art" pieces. I am a bit of a hermit, you might even call me an elitist, a fascist and almost certainly a pariah. Also, I'm married to the single most beautiful, most talented woman one can ever hope to meet. It's as if she stepped out of a dream. There is a fire in her soul that burns brighter than any sun. A purity that outshines god & I can only pray her luminescence can eventually bring light to the human vortex that I call my "self". I don't know what contest in hell she won, but honey, I love ya!

I feel like the lucky one...I just wanted to spread the word..my psycho hubby is on blogspot! He is an amazing artist, a truly unique voice in this universe..which is probably what drew me to him in the first place. I love you, Teddy!

A weekend, movie review: Martyrs!

2009-08-22T18:40:00.002-05:00

First off, happy freakin' weekend everyone! I hope yall's weekend is going as good & as relaxing as mine.

Tonight, my husband and I watched the French film, Martyrs. It was released in 2008 & directed/written by Pascal Laugier. You should be able to rent this flick, unrated, from most respectable movie rental establishments. I highly recommend you do this as soon as possible! Or just buy it, if you are a gore/horror junkie like I am.

There is no easy way to sum up the whole of this picture. I've heard it compared to the HORRIBLE, Eli Roth (douche-bag) directed Hostel...and I agree to a small degree. The only similarities that the two movies share is the notion of an organization capturing and torturing people. Martyrs, though went all the way with the depravity and skipped out completely on the frat boy bullshit. I'd say this shares more with Rosemary's Baby than that Hostel flick.

This movie transcends the common notions of what horror can be. Finally...a new horror film that I can really sink my teeth into. Is France the new place to look out for in the world of horror? Could be...maybe not though, who knows.

This movie gets going from the very beginning & does not let up until the very end. If you are squeamish at all, I'd say stay away from this one. If not, again, I highly recommend it.

SPOILERS!

Like I said, this movie transcends the common horror genre cliches. In fact, this movie reminds a lot of Aja's High Tension, which is also another French horror gem. The big difference here though, is that Aja and co. can't write an original screenplay to save their lives. Excellent filmmakers, unimaginative writer's.

Pascal Laugier keeps you on the edge of your seat. There is NO way to predict where this movie is headed for as it progresses. The end is freaking awesome....but then again the whole movie is.

So, it starts out like a typical revenge flick. You've got these two girls, one of which had been tortured and somehow escaped from some abandoned building. This girl appears to be haunted and tormented by a ghost or some freakish woman from hell. At one point I assumed it could have been her, in her psychosis, personified (ala High Tension). The other girl seems fairly well adjusted and acts as her care giver.

Jump to 15 years later and we're into full on revenge mode. We get to see a family of four gunned down by the more tormented of the two girls. Her name is Lucie and she has a penchant for double barreled shotguns and straight razors. As Lucie falls deeper into her psychosis, the other girl, Anna, is left to pick up the pieces...which pretty much means the disposing of dead bodies.

Lucie, still going deeper into madness, is confronted by her ghostly demon. We, at this point, have learned that this "ghost" is the image of a tortured girl she had left to die years ago while making her own escape. So the guilt manifests itself as a ghost. Anna never sees the ghost, just Lucie cutting away at her own flesh.

So...after Lucie's apparent suicide, Anna is still in the house and accidentally finds a hidden passageway that leads to a hidden, sterile basement. Turns out that there is yet ANOTHER one of these tortured girl's which Anna tries her best to help.

THEN, we see like 5 people dressed in black rushing into the house, gunning down the recently rescued girl, removing all the bodies, and just leaving us in a general state of awe.

All you need to know from this point on, is that there is this somewhat cult like group of people hellbent on manufacturing martyrs. What does that mean exactly? Just watch the movie and find out for yourselves, darlins!

An Update Regarding My Mineral Magic Venture!

2009-08-22T14:35:00.006-05:00

While I am no longer doing my Fierce Fridays, due to my inability to physically stick to the commitment AND do what I want with my channel, stick with doc appointments, etc...I just couldn't carry the load anymore.

Luckily, I am going to still be releasing my Mad Madam Jess Exclusive Mineral Magic Collection VERY soon!!! HOORAY!!! Here are the list of the luscious, six, matte shades that you can either wear alone OR to exceedingly define your pre-existing Mineral Magic pigments with! The names of my shades are: Crow, Swamp, Alley - Gator, Rusty Blade, Great White and Shrouded!!!

In this pic, I am wearing Kellie's Mineral Magic pigments as well as my own Collection! The outer edge of my lids are Alley-Gator...the gorgeous, shimmering color above all that lush green is my Rusty Blade. See how blendable these MATTE shades are? They will soon be available for you all to get your grubby little hands on...very very soon!!!

Here, Swamp is featured to create the "glowing" crease effect! Earthy yet striking and versatile. I am wearing Kellie's, Doodles on my lids, fading into Ruby on the outer lids. Then Swamp bursts out from the crease to give this warm, neutral look, the POP of a lifetime.

In this saucy look, I'm wearing Kellie's already STUNNING pigment in Hot Pink..the dark blue/black shade that seems to glow..which all of these colors seem to do, is called Crow. Just like the color of a Crow's feathers in the sunlight. Crow makes for an incredibly easy application and versatility..as it makes for a stand out liner when applied with a damp brush or mixing medium.

The only two pigments that have yet to be mixed and used for a look on my eyes as a tester...are Great White and Shrouded. Great White, inspired by one of my amazing, youtube friends, is an amazingly creamy, matte, white pigment with notes of blue and grey. Perfect for those dramatic, sparkling eye lids when you don't want a shimmery highlight under the brow bone! Shrouded is a warmer, cream color which is a great highlight when you don't want to use a white pigment.

Great White and Shrouded will be mixed and played with on my face very soon! Expect the collection soon to be available at Mineral Magic Cosmetics !! <-- Click the link!! So no more Fierce Fridays....but the Mad Madam Jess, Exclusive Mineral Magic Collection is still on. Don't worry, all my beautiful friends that already are dying to get a hold of one of my collections..soon, darlins!!!! Love you all!!

Movie Review: Priscilla: The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert

2009-08-19T00:31:00.007-05:00

From 1994, this movie is one of my all time favorites!! It's a musical...one....it's got drag queens...two...it's got a wonderful message....ok I gotta stop counting cause the hits just won't stop coming.

This film was made by Stephan Elliott and stars an extraordinary cast...

Hugo Weaving as Tick / Mitzi

Yes, it's Agent Smith from the Matrix..and he is a super fierce drag queen with a son and wife..so he puts a show together with Terence Stamp..yes, General Zod from Superman..ZOD!!!

HE happens to be a veteran lay girl in her hay day...He plays Bernadette who is quite the lady...so beautiful..

And there's a third member of this traveling, drag show...HIGH QUALITY, AMAZING drag show....Guy Pierce as Adam / Felicia.

Three amazing actors playing these incredibly deep and real roles..flawless as their lipstick. I love this movie. I've always loved it..but at 12:45 AM on a Wednesday morn, I figured you should all see this and watch it ifn' ya haven't..here's my favorite clip..

Fabulous!! LOVE IT!! Revel in the fierceness!!! ROWR!!

He writes with a flair and an ere of confidence you just can't argue with. Me...I talk, and the earth moves under my feet.

Food and Dessert Places Reviewed

2009-08-17T14:22:00.005-05:00

1st of all, the Best Sushi In San Antonio, TX goes to: Tokyo Steak House and Sushi Bar located off San Pedro, north of NW Loop 410. This place totally beats the shit out of Godai, who can in fact...go off and die. The sushi is always fresh and delicious, the service is beyond belief and the food has been consistently great every visit.

Depending on the specific sushi chef that is working when you go, there is a very individualistic style that is prevalent. You always get what is expected...damn good sushi. Sometimes, you get the unexpected...like when my husband ate salmon roe without even knowing it...AND loving it. The Teppanyaki Table experience is amazing...better than Benihana anyday...I can't speak for Sushi Zushi but they make it quite an experience for the money spent.

2nd, let's talk about Thai Dee. Located off of Blanco, south of NW Loop 410.....don't be fooled...I'm not talking about Sawasdee which is also on Blanco...south of 410. It's further south and nestled next to a convenient store and a small mechanic's station. This place is truly authentic and consistent. We are now VIP customers since we are pals with the owners because we eat there so often. They know our tummies very well. Amazing curry dishes, including Kao Soi await you. The Pad Thai looks simple enough, but it delivers the goods in flavor. There are so many of the menu's dishes that we have tried and loved. Easily, the best crab rangoon in town. We've tried them all, Ted and me. Some highlights are the Pad Thai, Kao Soi, Khee-mao, Moo-Ping and the Panang Noodles. Affordable and delicious, that's how I love my women and my restaurants. Don't let the exterior fool you. This place is a diamond in the rough. The owner, Toi will welcome you like family and serve you a meal made with love and devotion to her heritage.

3rd Prime Cultures (REAL Frozen Yogurt!) ..just tried this place out on a whim. It was either this or a Frappocino at Starfucks and my husband let me know of it's existence. You'll find it North of Hildebrand on McCoullough. It's a small shop that has only been open for a mere month or so but we hope they stick around and flourish. The cashier guy is a little weird and doesn't seem super competent..sorry dude. But when you get passed that, the actual product is unique, fresh, delicious and super healthy! We both were very surprised and loved the joint along with it's awkward cashier and proprietor. I'm sure they'll come into their own someday. ;-) Seriously, it's yummy..go with the Original and have some granola on top.....YUM! Or cereal or fruits or nuts or chocolate chips or even honey...they've got a few different kinds of yogurt...Green Tea Flavor, Cranberry / Pomegranate, and possible another one, I can't really recall at the moment. It all seemed very fresh and we both give this little, dessert / health bar 8 tentacles up!!!!

All about Bitchslap Cosmetics and Pigments!! Pics included!!

2009-08-12T18:53:00.005-05:00

I'd been wanting to try this cosmetics line for the longest time since I saw all the candy colors and neon pigments that looked so fierce.

Visit BSlap Costmetics <-------Click the link! They be fierce as all hell, my friends!! See..we never could afford it, sadly. A couple of weeks ago, my close friend, Soleil (http://www.youtube.com/user/sassysunshine01), asked me what brands of products I'd been wanting to try so I told her...and one of em happened to be Bitchslap Cosmetics!!

Give or take a few weeks..I received a package in the mail from Soleil full of AMAZING GOODIES..including my beloved BSlap Cosmetics! She sent me the most amazing pigments. The next day, I had to throw them on my eyes:

Check out that pigment, my friends!! It's neon and out of control. Thanks again, Soleil, for the amazing care package..the rest of the reviews will be coming soon.

My thoughts are...I love the names...the names of the shades make me giggle and I think the line is fierce...the colors are neon and crazy which I adore..BUT..these pigments are not the easiest I have found to blend. Mineral Magic still wins on blendability. Overall..I am soooo pleased to have these pigments in my collection. Soleil, I loves ya!!

My Review Of Rape-O: The Generic Mock Opera

2009-08-11T12:25:00.005-05:00

A close friend recommended this piece of crap movie to me....telling me it was today's Rocky Horror Picture Show. So I was all down at first, I love RHPS! I was Magenter in our local cast!!

So, my hubby and I rented it....what kind of piece of crap movie...I don't even know where to begin...and it has a following!! It wasn't campy like RHPS...it was simply bad...not the good kind of bad..just..BAD. The singing never stopped once throughout the movie. Ohgr was a disappointment simply cause he was a part of such rubbish. I am a big Skinny Puppy fan from back in the day..so this was quite a let down, seeing him subject himself to such a piece of crap role in a piece of crap movie.

Where to start....not a one of em can sing. That's a good place to start since the singing NEVER stops throughout the entire movie. The storyline was convoluted and lacking any kind of pertinent message. AKA: RHPS - Don't Dream It..BE IT! Paris Hilton's role was retarded and since she was kinda playing herself...it was fitting. Enjoyable? Nnnnno.

The whole thing was hard to watch and I felt embarrassed for the people involved in the creation of this piece of crap. Let's see..how many times have I referred to Rape-O as a "piece of crap"? Not enough times, I tells ya. Do yourselves a favor and don't subject yourself to this piece of crap "rock opera". The music is horrendous...the dialogue was just thrown together, it seemed. Just a terrible, terrible movie that should have never been made, as far as I'm concerned. That is all..

Latest Drug Store Cosmetic Reviews!!!

2009-08-11T07:54:00.008-05:00

Well well well, ladies and germs..looks like we've made it to the health and beauty isle. This is what decadence is all about and it's coming straight from the Jessie's mouth.. Over the past few months, many new brands of cosmetics have come out with new/ "improved" products that I am dying to review for you. ::winkwink::

The Products Under Review Here Are:

Revlon Colorstay Mineral Finishing Powder - Brighten
Revlon Colorstay Mineral Finishing Powder - Suntan Matte
Maybelline Superstay 24 Hour Long Lasting Foundation
Wet n' Wild Mega Eyes Cream Liner
Max Factor Vivid Impact Lipsticks
Maybelline Dream Matte Powder

Ok, let's get started, shall we?! First off, we have the Revlon Colorstay Mineral Finishing Powder in Brighten...

Doesn't it look purdy in the package? It's a baked, dome shaped highlighter...that is a good, mineralized dupe of the Benefit High Beam. It's also the consistency of some MAC Mineralized Skin Finishes but no particular shade. This product ranges from $7 - $13 depending on the retailer or possibility of a sale. I love this!! I use it on my decollete and neck to give a beautiful, sheen of dewiness..and right above the cheekbones as highlighter to really make my blushes POP! In all, I highly recommend this product. It is a lil pricey...but there are BOGOs (Buy One Gut One Free) sales all the time..so pick it up! I've known my deeper skin toned friends to love this as well so it's very versatile.

Moving on to the same brand, different shade and function all together! This is the Revlon Mineral Finishing Powder in Suntan Matte...my personal favorite contour shade and all over finishing powder for my deeper skinned beauties. It's kind of sparkly looking in the package but I assure you, it goes on pretty dern matte on the skin. It blends beautifully and runs around the same price, retail. Another one that is highly recommended. You can get these off the ebay for cheaper too. But they're definitely worth the money.

Now for the darker side of things...the Maybelline Superstay 24 Hour Long Lasting make up. I saw this and thought immediately.."Oh, Maybelline's dupe for Revlon Colorstay!" NOooooooooooooooo!! This is not the case. I applied it like I would my Revlon Colorstay..with a damp sponge and using very little...by the time I finished applying it, it had melted off my face. How the..?!?! Yes, so...I definitely give this product a million thumbs down. Ya never know, it may work for your skin type so if you have money to blow, it's always an option..this retails around $10 - $12 ... in my opinion, not worth it at all.

Next up for review is the Wet n' Wild Mega Eyes Cream Liner. I must say I love this more than the Jane Be Pure Mineral Gel Liner..it's well pigmented and similar to the MAC Blacktrack Fluidline when you know how to work with it. At $3.50 retail price, you can't beat that with a stick so...another highly recommended item here!! They come in different colors as well. I own the black and eggplant colored ones and use them as liner AND eyeshadow bases for a smokey eye look. I don't use the brush that comes with it..I use a fine tipped, art brush to apply it and it works magnificently. It goes on so smooth and even stays all day....EVEN on the waterline! Highly recommended...

These are the Max Factor Vivid Impact Lipsticks!!! I absolutely love the colors these come in..from sheer to shockingly pigmented..these are all winners in my book. Now..they retail at around $8.99 - $10.00 which is a bit pricey for a lippie. Save your change for these lippies, ladies if you're looking for the perfect nudes, vivid colors and wearability. I own a few of these lipsticks and they look amazing on..nice and glossy..here I am rockin' the nude, Max Factor Vivid Impact Lipstick...Golddigger, number 76!

As you can see, I am a fan of their lipsticks..so save your money, girls!!! Highly recommended!

Finally, we've come to my HG powder...the Maybelline Dream Matte Powder which is a phenomenal dupe of the Giorgio Armani Silk Powder. I looooooove this powder...it's the only drug store powder that keeps my skin oil free...with minimal touch ups. This over the Revlon Colorstay foundation is lush and flawless!! It goes on smooth as silk and even gives you a good deal of coverage. Some days, I wear it on it's own and it works great! It retails at: $8.49 - $9.00 and is well worth the money as it lasts for such a long time. Yep, I love this powder and use it on almost every one of my make up applications. Highly recommended..

Ok, that's all for now...more to come...more weirdness..more make up, more products, more blurbs..you name it..it's a commin'..

I yearn for
the good sick
to obliterate my pain

Kill myself
so my soul
can be free
