Lies and falsehoods, Padfoot!

Face Off time! The format of the show changed this week, from teams of two to 'super teams' of four (made up of two teams of two, they didn't split people from their partners). Furthermore, there will be no more immunity, and someone will be eliminated every week from now on.


( Super Team Looks! )


Next time, hopefully soon, is witches!

So, now that things have calmed down a bit at work, I am going to try to do a big Face Off catch up. But Megan, I hear you saying, why couldn't you do these posts from home? Because I like doing it with two screens, and also Skyrim.

I am also planning to do a post about this event I went to last weekend called ConBust, but I need to get some pictures off my camera first.

Anyway, ( Face Off Double Post! )

Yikes, I am so far behind with Face Off Posts... I also want to talk some Oscars fashion, but how late is too late to do that?

Anyway, here's Face Off from ages ago!


( Yes I'm alone, but I'm alone and free! )

GUYS. The Face Off Monster High episode is on TOMORROW, and I am so excited that I'm considering watching it live (rather than then next day off my DVR, sans commercials.).

Anyway, before we get to that, let's wrap up last week's episode (sorry this post is so late) and first elimination!


( Much Better than the Dan Brown Book )

Turns out, I don't really have much to say about Doctor Strange. It was very entertaining (like the Avengers & Iron Man), didn't make me rage about its treatment of women (unlike Ant Man and Guardians of the Galaxy), and didn't feel pointless (unlike Civil War).

It did often feel like a Star Wars rip off (they even used the phrase 'seduced by the dark'), but not in a bad way. I do have to say though, Ve & Hattrick would not have been here for the shitty makeup on the bad guys:

Seriously, you must have a had a huge budget, you couldn't have made that look less fake? Purple was a bad color choice, and it's soooooo obvious that it's just painted on his (clearly still intact) skin. There was one scene where he teared up, and I legitimately wasn't sure if he was supposed to do that, or if his makeup was just making his eyes water.

This post is much, much later than usual, but I was busy dodging bats and learning complicated card games and doing actual work at work...


( Sadly, none of these languages are Elvish or Klingon )

Face Off is back! For those of you new to my journal, Face Off is a show on SyFy that asks makeup artists to meet a challenge each week (similar to Project Runway or America's Next Top Model) and then judges them and eliminates someone. I typically do weekly posts, showing the winning and losing looks, and last season my fav ended up winning. :D


( So let us take a look at the first challenge! )

As stated last week, this is the second to last competition for this season of Face Off. Two designers were eliminated, and the remaining three went on to the finals.

So let's see how it played out!


( They're Creepy and They're Kooky... )

How they made it through this entire episode without a single reference to American Horror Story I will never know.


( Step right up! )

So, Face Off did this kind of cool thing this week called The Gauntlet, but I'm not sure how that's going to jive with my recap style.


( Run The Gauntlet! )


Next week is horsemen of the apocalypse. That should be... interesting.
