Makeover.
As you can see, I gave my blog a makeover. It really needed it. I finally put my own design up. I jacked the code from another Wordpress theme, but replaced all the graphics with my own. ^^ I still have some tweaking to do. I’m need to step away from the editor before I mess things up. Lol.
If you know me well enough or looked through my pictures, I have a tattoo on my right shoulder blade. I got it about 6 months ago? In Venice, Cali at Ink Monkey. I love tokidoki styles, so I decided to draw something up. I gave the tattoo artist my drawing and told him to do whatever he wanted with it. The tattoo turned out great…I love it. But the design wasn’t exactly what I wanted. So I decided to vector it and put it on here. :]

Man, I hate adjusting colors from Photoshop to the web. What a bitch!
I love cherry blossoms and skulls. I wish the tattoo artist made my skulls more edgier/beat-up. Like my design. I wanted two skulls, too. Eventually I’ll add more to this tat.
Well, I am really really tired. I only had two hours of sleep. Went to bed last night at like 6am [photoshoppin and God of War], woke up at 8am, went to school, and I’m still up. Exhausted! I should have went to bed 4 hours ago, but I really wanted to finish most of this layout. Determination!
School was fun today. I don’t feel like typing out all details. Gave my model a makeover by adding some highlights in her hair.
My Macbook is stabbing me. The bottom right corner edge, where my wrist rest, is chipping. :/
Very cute pic right hurr:
Cooper likes being in the butt crack of the couch. If he had cheeks, I would be squeezing them right now.
I think I want to snap this piece off my Mac. Driving me nuts.
We rented the God of War collection from Blockbuster. I wanted to play both of them before the third GoW comes out in March ‘10. I hate the game so much that I love it. The BF and I play it together. It can be such a frustrating game! Oh…only thing that really sucks about GoW1 is the camera angles. Errr. Haven’t got to GoW2 yet. Are the camera angles the same in that one?
Okay….
I need to sleep!!!!
BlahBlah.
I’m having like writer’s block.
Okay, not really because I’m not a writer. I just having a brain fart right now. I want to write more and make better blog posts, but I can’t think right now. I think I need to do some yoga or something….and meditate. I have so many things running through my head. My brain is like gumbled. Everything from life, relationships, makeup, food, personal experiences, school, my future, nails, dogs, traveling, etc. Blah blah. I just don’t know how I want to execute it. Sometimes I feel like, why even bother?
Breathe, Vana.
I need to organize my thoughts.
*sigh…
Guess I’ll just take it one step at a time. I’ll finish working on the graphics for my layout, then move from there. =)

So I picked up my “guitar” to play Rock Band 2. I haven’t played it for quite some time. Been distracted with other games. I managed to connect to xbox live last night. This is what I love about xbox360. It’s so easy to go onto the Marketplace to purchased new songs. I really like the new Music Store. Last night, I bought Nirvana – “Smells Like Teen Spirit”.
Today, I thought I fix up my avatar. I love doing stuff like this. Anytime I have to build a character in a game, I take forever. Lol. So I was browsing around the xbox closet and forgot that I can purchase clothes and accessories for my avatar.
To my surprise, they had outfits from games! [I haven't been online with either of our consoles for awhile.] I don’t have a Vision Camera, so I just snapped some pics with my phone. I should have looked more thoroughly at the outfits, because I used up all my points. I don’t have enough to get what I really want, but it can wait.
I’m excited about this one. I am a Fable2 fan, so I had to get this outfit. This is what my avatar is wearing now. The female corset, hot pants, and highwayman boots.
Oh yes. A Lightsaber. I just recently became a Star Wars fan [I know...I'm really late on that]. Lol. Wish I could have one in real life. Would make killing flying bugs here in Florida easier. :P
CODMF2. :)
Altair clothing. Assassin’s Creed 2 is one of my favorite games. We have it for PS3 though.
Ahh. This is the one that I really want. 500 points. Ezio Armor. So badass. ^-^
From the game» Left: Altair. Right: Ezio. These outfits are also available for Cosplay. I wouldn’t go that far, but it would be cool. One day I would like to go to a Cosplay Event.
All this made my day :] Hehe..
Temporary
This is a temporary layout. Getting tired of the all white look.

Happy Holidays!!!!
Whether you’re opening presents by a Christmas Tree or eating at a Chinese restaurant, I hope you have a great day today. =)
Making a beef brisket tonight. If it comes out good, which I’m sure it will, I’ll post foodie pictures. Yum.
Oh, and in case you were wondering what design I decided to go with for Christmas nails…
Yup…after a handful of nail designs I did, this is what I’m wearing right now. I think I’m pretty designed out.
*sigh…I love blue nails.

I love makeup brushes. Every makeup junkie does, pretty much. But really…your best tools are your hands & fingers.
I haven’t done a video in a long time. Mainly because I really don’t feel the need to since there are sooo many great makeup artist/gurus on YouTube. But I decided to do this video to show that you don’t need fancy brushes to create beautiful looks. Even if you only have one eyeshadow brush or just cotton swabs, you can still create looks like a smokey or sculpted eyes. If I can do it with just my finger tips, you can do it too…with whatever you have.
[My girl, Alex does her makeup like this too.]
I made this video playlist at myflashfetish.com
Easy right? :]

From my recent Nail post..Abstract Nails.
Inspiration.
As you all know, I love Kandee Johnson. I would love to meet her one day. She really inspires me to become a better person.
I’ve seen most of her videos. Just came across this one. I’m still watching it, just had to pause it to let it load faster and because I kept tearing up. She gets very personal in this video, and I really appreciate it. She tells her story [this is where I couldn't stop tearing] and encourages people to go chase after what you really want to do in life.
One of the best Youtube videos I’ve seen.
Thank you Kandee.
