I never thought I’d say the words: ‘Xenomorph Barbie is really fucking hot’ but here we are.

I have dinky lil' rat eyes too!

My trick is, I'll draw winged liner but just on my bottom lid: follow my natural eye line, up into a flick.
Finish with a bit of white/ natural looking fine liner & apply to top lid line.

Gives a cool Manga effect where your eyes instantly look x3 larger! :) 👁️

Oh, I'm just veryyyy adverse to anything near my eyes but that's a good fact to know!
Aye, same: we'd heat up Kohl then rub it on like ash. 😂

Serious question for those of you who apply makeup to your waterline: ARE YOU OKAY?
DO YOU THRIVE ON BEING MASOCHISTIC?
WHY, Girlies, whyyyyy?! 🤢🤮
You'd have to strap me down against my fucking will, good grief. 😬

Razorback is such a fan favourite!
You'll dig 'Cars: it's like a twisted prototype for Mad Max: very important film in Ozploitation history. We wouldn't have Max Rockatansky without it!

Ooooh, my time to shine! :)

P. S. Are you (& others) interested in me curating a wee Ozploitation watch-along?
I'm hankering on a marathon so, lemme know if yous would be interested!

Aye, fo sho.
Young me (pre-therapy) thought I was possessed at times: that shock of coming back around is so jarring!

I recommend doing this to ground yourself again:

Throw in some severe trauma-bound dissociation and you have quite the party!
That was a lie. It really isn't a party ><
I usually snap out of it when something triggers my Misophonia and I feel like a baby deer, dropped into a strange environment for the first time, for a good few mins afterwards.

Actually, this image inspired both The Bone Temple AND Midsommar!
Ari Aster was tripping sack one night, watching this movie when, in his vision he caught the visage of a young Florence Pugh; the bandage appeared like a floral crown, as she looked confused in front of a Maypole. True story.
