My Top 6 Red Lipstick Colors

Since the age of 9 I have been wearing some sorta shade of red lipstick. It all started out with MTV and Madonna. The other thing that influenced my red lipstick habit is the movie Making Mr. Right when she is driving and putting her red lipstick on. I have TONS of red lipsticks and here are my top 6 colors!












I will test out all 6 of the colors to show you!



MAC Ruby Woo



LIME CRIME Retrofuturist



LIME CRIME Glamour 101



NARS Jungle Red



VERSACE  #12 red




MAC Russian Red



MAC Russian Red with a sparkle gloss on top!

Removing the red lipsticks looks as if your nose is bleeding :)

Lips after red lipstick ... they are stained but oh well!

Everyone should wear red lipstick from time to time ... it makes you happy and guys notice you more!
My favorite out of all of them is MAC's Ruby Woo and Russian Red from MAC!
My face looks crazy up close in some pics but I was trying to show you the lip color!

SO BE IT!

Why do people do this?

So every time I get on Face Book now it's seems like all I see is political crap and disgusting pics of strange political stuff. When did FB become so strange? I want to see happy and good news, not people cramming their political views down my throat. I am a very religious person but I don't use FB to cram my beliefs down people's throats. Anyways I just need to get this off my mind and FYI  I have unsubscribed from all those people on FB. I feel like FB is becoming another Myspace.


BE HAPPY!!!!
If I wanted to hear and see bad news I would turn my TV on!

Ooh La la French New Wave

As you know I am a sucker for old 1960 French New Wave films. 









It inspired me to dress up and do my make up like a french 1960 film.






Have fun with fashion and make up no matter how old or young you are!
Life is one big dress up party! love JAR

Thrift Store Thursday: Random Things


Today I went to my local Thrift Store around the corner from my house. They didn't have much but I did find some random items that I really didn't need. I found an vintage Teddy Ruxpin lunch box from the 1980's but some stupid kid put dumb stickers all over it. Too bad!!! I just found 4 items this trip! I used my cat in these pics she like to smell everything that I bring into the house!

I found this 1980 belt for $2.00

a bag of doll heads for .99 cents

The doll heads come in White tan and black
I will use these for an art project soon!

Little Twin Stars from Japan ( Sanrio)
I love it!!!!



My greatest find ... A Vincent Van Gogh book for $2.00

SO BE IT!

Art Show

This past Friday and Saturday was my 2nd year of being in the fine arts show at the Arts Alliance in Clear Lake. Last year was fun but somehow this year was really amazing. I got to meet some of my fans from my Face Book Art by Jar page. I also got to meet some other great artist and I sold 9 paintings at this show and tons of merchandise. Next year I am definitely going to have more in varieties of small fun merchandise. I never thought I would make it this far with my art by Jar business or even my talent. I really like to see how my art makes people smile ..... that means more to me than any dollar sign! So far I have sold 30 or more paintings since 2008. I never even expected to sell even one painting!


DAY ONE FRIDAY

Booth set up
Face Book fan she bought Gypsy painting 1 of 3 that I had made.

Face Book Fan she bought Art Deco Owl Lady

Face Book Fan she bought the Owl Mask Painting with Frame
It was really cool to meet my fans from face book in person and I'm glad they have a piece of artwork to hang in their house!

John and Yoko were the main attraction of the entire art show!
Elvis and Priscilla were second best!
