Yes, this scribe got hooked on multiple makeup when it first hit the scene close to twenty years ago.

Hoarded and lived on multiple sticks, regardless of ingredients and benefits, because they were the only Swiss Army Knife of color cosmetics for all three, important spots for sculpturing, deepening, and highlight facial features: lips, cheeks, and eyes.

These multiple makeup carried this scribe through all stages of life: college, grad school, internship, assistant, then scribe as you all know it.

Of course, makeup is the forebear of chemistry innovations and change, according not only to lifestyles, but lifestyle preferences, high-tech innovative convenience to high-tech healthy convenience. 

Josie Maran's Vibrancy Argan Oil Fresh Face Paint Palette illustrates the best of both worlds, bright and warm colors that perk up and deepens lips, cheeks, and eyes with antioxidants.

Most importantly, it's creamy enough to blend yet the argan oil doesn't clog pores and pimples don't erupt.

100% Pure Argan Oil: Nature's richest source of essential fatty acids to counter the loss of firmness and deeply nourish the skin.

Raspberry Seed Oil and Blueberry Extract: Fight free radicals, boost elasticity, and reduce inflammation.

Coconut Oil: Hydrates for nourishing blendability.

Rosemary Leaf Extract: Promotes youthful-looking skin, with skin-toning benefits and rich with natural antibacterials.

Apply to skin and blend with fingertips. Mix, match, and live vibrantly.

Josie’s fresh glow look:
-Dreamer/sculpt under cheekbone
-Sweetness/flush on apples of cheeks
-Enlightenment/highlight on high points of face
-Force Field all over eye lid
-Sweetness and Dreamer on lips 

Even though hot pink Sweetness/Flush is perky enough to brighten lips and cheeks, it's not recommended to smear it on your eyes. 

All packed in one palette for easy access and convenience.

Hollywood in Atlanta, Thank You Super Bowl.

By Laura Medina

The Super Bowl had brought "Hollywood" to Atlanta and Atlanta's local celebrities were happy that they could stay home and still party.

Luxury brand, MCM, hosted day two of an exclusive two-day VIP shopping event today at their Lenox Square location. Iconic music and fashion stars signed limited edition MCM x Wilson Official NFL Football while shopping and celebrating Super Bowl LIII.

Yung Miami of City Girls, The Black Eyed Peas members Taboo and apl.de.ap, Misa Hylton, Erica Mena Samuels, Safaree Samuels, Rotimi, Lil Jon, Safaree Samuels, Don Benjamin, Keri Hilson, Misa Hylton, and Drumma Boy. 

Women are sport nuts, too and they account for half the Super Bowl viewership.

So, it makes common that Taraji P. Henson plays a woman sports agent playing for respect in a still male dominated world.

Ali Davis (Taraji P. Henson) is a successful sports agent who's constantly boxed out by her male colleagues. When Ali is passed up for a well-deserved promotion, she questions what else she needs to do to succeed in a man's world... until she gains the ability to hear men's thoughts! With her newfound power, Ali looks to outsmart her colleagues as she races to sign the next basketball superstar, but the lengths she has to go to will put her relationship with her best friends and a potential new love interest (Aldis Hodge) to the test. WHAT MEN WANT is the latest comedy from director Adam Shankman (HAIRSPRAY) and producers Will Packer and James Lopez (GIRLS TRIP), co-starring Tracy Morgan, Richard Roundtree, Wendi McLendon-Covey, Josh Brener, Tamala Jones, Phoebe Robinson, Max Greenfield, Jason Jones, Brian Bosworth, Chris Witaske and Erykah Badu.

 

ATLANTA, GA - Paramount Pictures' WHAT MEN WANT fourth annual Women of Football event presented by Women Rising will return to the Super Bowl week event lineup in Atlanta on Sat., Feb. 2 from 12:00 P.M. to 3:00 P.M. EST., at American Cut Steakhouse. In partnership with Paramount Pictures' new film, WHAT MEN WANT, the event will feature a Q&A with the film's producer Will Packer (Girl's Trip, Night School, Think Like a Man), special VIP & celebrity guests, NFL industry influencers, live music from Atlanta's DJ Hourglass and 13-year-old Lauren Mckenzie, and heavy hors d'oeuvre & signature cocktails.

"Women make incredibly important contributions to the professional football industry, and play such a critical role in the lives of NFL players," said Kelli Masters, one of the event's founding members. "These amazing individuals deserve to be celebrated!" 

This year's event will highlight and honor women who are making a difference in the world of sports, and specifically, the National Football League (NFL). Along with Masters, the event's founding members include Jennifer Beaver and Ashley Kerns, collectively sports industry mainstays.

 

From the front office to the field, the negotiation table to brand strategy, women are growing their presence in sports and impact on professional football. This event salutes the many women who provide the support and guidance needed for athletes to achieve success, as well as women who make the sport what it is today - and are working to grow and improve it.

 

CEO and Founder of the impact-driven entertainment studio, Women Rising, Sara Hirsh Bordo, an award-winning filmmaker and former Hollywood executive committed to storytelling that empowers women, will also be in attendance directing and filming content. Hirsh Bordo will be interviewing and filming mentor moments to be shared with young women looking for a career in sports.

 

"We are honored and humbled to be part of a history-making event of this kind during Super Bowl weekend, one that not only celebrates and uplifts all women in sports, but that also welcomes the men who are supporting women as they advance their careers in football and other traditionally male-led industries," said Bordo.

Velvet Buzzsaw is 21st Take on "The Player" Thru the Art World of LA Art Show & PHOTO LA.

By Laura Medina

https://www.netflix.com/title/80199689

The Writer/Director, Dan Gilroy.

If "The Player" satirizes style over substance, the pompous and the pretentious gloss of the entertainment industry, it sets the template for the 21st century of the veneer of posh glossing over another multi-billion dollar industry-the art world in "Velvet Buzzsaw."

If you like dark comedy and cautionary tales taking down the pompous and pretentious, then "Velvet Buzzsaw" is for you.

Titled after an all-girl punk rock band and a tattoo worn by an ex-punk who grew up into an art dealer to make a living, (Renee Russo), "Velvet Buzzsaw" is a satirical-horror Faustian tale on the insular world of art dealers, multi-billion dollar art as trophies and investments, and turning artists into celebrities and a deranged serial killer whose hobby was painting cursed, haunted paintings, using his victims' body tissue, fluids, and blood as paint.  Whomever possesses them is cursed.  This is where the tale of art as commodity, not as expression or commentary or representation, takes a murderous turn.

Of course, it makes fun of the art world's exceptionally well-dressed patrons, buyers, and dealers.  They can't help being stylistos, fashionistas, and culturati. It's a culture where they literally wear their arts on their sleeves.  

Real LA Art Show attendees, real fashionistas.

PHOTO LA where art is a commodity and a trend, mermaids.

This is why last year's LA Art Show was a convenient stand-in for Art Basel Miami.  LA Art Show, Art Basel Miami, and PHOTO LA are interchangeable localities of a status-level, high-end, highly cultivated stratosphere of art advisors, art critics, art dealers, (They're like birds. They flock together) and where established artists print out copies of their paintings since their prints are cheaper than their original paintings.  This is where art becomes bread and butter commodity. Best exemplified by John Malkovich's Pier, the established wise sage who spotted those demons in those deranged paintings, right away.

These psychological haunted, curse dark paintings by the serial-killer artist, Vetril Dease, makes "Velvet Buzzsaw" into today's 21st century's "Night Gallery," the twisted, more sinister version of "The Twilight Zone."

The movie also mocks the instant superficiality and popularity/advertisement of social media where a murder was mistaken as an art installation and posted on Instagram.  A witty commentary on how art is dependent on social media.

If you like eye candy, David Hockney gloss, and mocking shallow, superficial, contradictory intellectuals who are just as horny, lustful, and driven with base needs as mere mortals, then "Velvet Buzzsaw" is the gourmet horror eye candy for you.
