Peri looked typically cute in a herve leger red bodycon dress
Wicked Halloween finds: Black lipstick from SM Department herve leger sale dresses store, bone erasers from Fully Booked (these can be turned into accessories!), mesh tube from Carolina’s, black bodycon dress and bruha (witch) wig!
Where will you be for Halloween? I will be at “Día de los Muertos” (Day of the Dead) at Orale! Taqueria Mexicana (The Fort Strip, Bonifacio Global City). There will be an exhibit of skulls painted and designed by a couple of artists in Manila, and I’m honored to designing one for the event!
Halloween look: I’ve decided to make use of whatever I can find at home. I’ve always liked the role of the White Witch from the “Chronicles of Narnia” or Hans Christian Anderson’s Ice Queen. Fortunately, clothing pieces for these characters are staple in almost anyone’s wardrobe, just add a couple of items and you’re good to go!
Key pieces to the look: All you need are a long white dress, a pale blonde wig, silver and blue shimmer
eyeshadow, a tiara and a wand. The fur scarf is optional. Tilda Swinton’s makeup as the White Witch of Narnia is very simple. You might want to accentuate your eyes with shimmering blue and silver eyeshadow. Lighten your eyebrows with a concealer to match the wig’s color. Tiaras and wands are available at your nearest department store. You can find ways to make these props or even your dress look more frosted.
Wicked Halloween finds: My “wickedest” finds are an ash blonde wig and a large tiara I got from Catwalk Cosmetics , an old staff prop I found in the stockroom, my mother’s fur scarf, and gray Freshlook contact lenses.
Where will you be for Halloween? I’ll most likely join our village’s trick-or-treat activity; this time I’ll be giving bandage dress herve leger out candy instead of asking them from neighbors.
OH for goodness sake. Enough. Pledges in blood. Policy run on the smell of intestinal fortitude alone. We are supposed to be talking about who becomes prime minister here, not an action man . . . But if you are looking for a metaphor for Abbott and his shambolic front bench, you quickly find yourself dealing in metaphors beyond the unattractive image of an emperor with no clothes. Monty Python and the Holy Grail’s King Arthur in his chain mail and ill-fitting crown, riding an imaginary horse while porters walk behind him banging coconut shells together is more the ticket . . . Two years is a long time to get away with being such a negative, opportunistic and hollow man.
I’D sooner shoot myself than become one of those Herald Sun commenters who complain about what the ABC is doing with Our Taxpayers’ Money, but I did find myself thinking thoughts to that effect while watching The Hamster Wheel last night . . . The problem with the Australian entertainment industry has always been that its old hands don’t know when to step out of the spotlight and let a new generation come to the fore (witness the unstoppable Rebecca Gibney, or the reanimated Hey Hey). In the case of this dunderheaded, boring show, isn’t it time the Chaser team got out of their own hamster wheel and let a new generation of political satirists step up?
I’M sad about the way it (Gallagher’s departure from Oasis) happened, and the way it’s continued to f . . king carry on — the bullshit in the press — but there’s nothing I can do about it. Ask me in a year, ‘cos I might go on tour and it might be a major success, and I might think, “F . . king hell, that was brilliant.” Or I might think, “Why did I leave that band? What was I f . . king thinking?” . . . To be a frontman — to start learning that at 44 — is a major pain in the bollocks.
