I used to be a hardcore Anne Rice reader but I recently bought the Prince Lestat, the newest book, and had to force myself to get half-way through chapter one before I just couldn't read anymore.

I don't know what changed but while I can eagerly re-read the Vampire Armand (my favorite) or any of the others (aside from Memnoch the Devil which was terrible) this one I can't even force myself to finish reading and I managed that with Memnoch even though I can't stand that one.

>tfw some uncle in-law I've never met dies
>tfw funeral is ass-early Saturday morning
>tfw two packages I have to sign for will likely arrive Saturday
>tfw post office will be closed before I can get out to pick them up

I know I'm an ungrateful bitch but damn, I've never met the man in my life but I've got to drive 35 miles to sit through a 10am visitation and then a 11am funeral.

This anon here. Since several methods have been mentioned in the thread about how to use products I figured I'd sort of try them all? Got my supplies together and since I don't want to waste too much greasepaint I'm gonna try them on my arms.

Anyone have any other methods they're curious about? I'm trying Gropey's spray+greasepaint+spray+cosmetic layer+spray (no powder or lotion involved) and Minori's lotion+greasepaint+powder+cosmetic (no seal) and maybe a mix of the two to see which comes out less patchy and easy to apply various kinds of cosmetics over.

Results won't be as good as if I tried my face but the inside of my arm is close enough for this kind of thing.

I'm going to do it, anons. I'm going to stop bidding and buying stuff on Ebay. I've got a convention in two months with my costumes just about finished and I need to save this money.

Be strong for me and let me shop through you and feel envious over your cheap 99cent hauls.
