I always find the most interesting videos when I’m doing my usual makeup-tutorial-stalking on Youtube. Today I was watching some videos from one of my fav channels, pixiwoo [two sisters who are incredible, very experienced, makeup artists]. I think they’re so gorgeous. Well, the first video I watched today was the Raquel Welch video by Nicola. Then I watched Samantha’s video on Modern Goth Makeup. I loved that video. Not only was the look very sick [in a great way], but it also lead me to other video.

Sam’s modern goth makeup video was a tribute to the Sophie Lancaster Foundation. I don’t follow the news or watch television that much to hear about it [plus it happened in the UK in 2007].
Sophie Lancaster and her boyfriend were beaten up by a group of drunk teenagers for their gothic appearances. Sophie sacrificed her life to save her boyfriend by protecting him. She died in the hospital. Her boyfriend lived. If you haven’t watched it, click this or just watch it here. Very very sad.

Watch the video on youtube for the words at the end and side text.

Here’s a link to the full story & pictures: click

A British makeup brand commissioned the short film: Illamasqua

It’s painful to me when I see teens/kids leave someone out of the fun just because of the way they looked or because they weren’t in the “in crowd”. It’s like they’re punishing them for no good reason. They weren’t pretty enough. They weren’t skinny enough. They don’t have [stuff to represent money] enough. So stupid. Sure we’ve all been there. I’ve made fun of someone, but usually it’s within my group of friends as a joke. It’s fine to joke around. But to do it to gain status, to be “cool” or just to be mean is wrong. People still do it, even in adulthood. For all you people that think looks, popularity, and money matters….IT DOESN’T. In the end, all that stuff doesn’t matter. [I think I'm starting to blab. I'm a terrible writer.]

This video is heartbreaking; it had me in tears. Some people never reach the maturity level to understand what respect means. And because of it, someone lost their daughter…their girlfriend…their friend. What those teens did to Sophie was beyond cruel. It was pure evil.
*sigh…shakes head.
Prayers to the family & friends.

Like Samantha, a lot of people on Youtube did tribute videos for the cause by doing makeup tutorials on Gothic Makeup. I’m too lazy to do a video so I just took pictures. :] There’s a part of me that is “goth”. I just keep it locked up inside.

Somewhat gothic, right? :] I would never wear this in public, or do I think its that pretty on me [maybe on someone else] but it was fun to do.

Now this is more me. I’m just throwing these pics in here because it’s another look I did today. ^^
