~"Abs In A Box"?! File This Under: NO!~

"I love the male body. It's better designed than the male mind." -Andrea Newman

I never thought about a double standard in the area of beauty/grooming until I came across "Abs In A Box". Yeah, I said "Abs In A Box".

This kit is exactly what it says it is. It's actually abs in a box. Or at least the products men need to give/get the illusion of abs. When I first saw it I rolled my eyes and thought "What sad bastard would buy this?!" and then I caught a glimpse of my makeup trunk and it made me think... As a professional MUA I have an entire trunk filled with products to cover things we have, create things we don't have, and take years off of our appearance. And by "we" and "our" I mean...women. For the most part anyway. It's the norm for me to provide these services to men also...at work. On a shoot/stage/film set makeup and grooming on a man is completely acceptable but other than those scenarios makeup on a man, in my eyes, is so weak. Just plain un-sexy. Which is such a double standard because as a woman I use all of my professional products on myself (in everyday life) creating illusions and masking flaws, and I have left more than my share of lipstick on men's collars... But double standard or not, if a man's abs rubbed off on me I would be filled with disdain. I would be seriously turned off and it's not right but it is what is. So please fellas...only use this product for Halloween. And even then...only if you must.

~ Just like a ghost, you've been a-hauntin' my dreams, So I'll propose... on Halloween. Love is kinda crazy with a spooky little girl like you. ~Dennis Yost and the Classics IV

I think I'm actually a bigger fan of Halloween as an adult than I was as a child. I've come to see it as a night without limits. No makeup is too outrageous. No outfit is too outlandish. All bets are off, bring on the drama. Although truth be told, I would much rather create a fabulous Halloween look for someone other than myself. I like to watch and observe. Halloween is the best live theater, the ultimate reality show... This year I'm in a "I wanna make Halloween glamorous" mood... Maybe even a "I wanna make Halloween sexy" mood. I set out to find some inspiration and I found it. Now I'll it share it with all of you...

Just a few things to spice up your Halloween:

Bejeweled Pumpkins...

Jeweler Eddie Borgo has designed a FABULOUS jeweled pumpkin...and he's showing you how to make one also... He made his first dazzling pumpkin last year when he needed a gift for a friend throwing a downtown soiree and made a gorgeous pumpkin to be used as a table centerpiece. The response was overwhelming. This year he's sharing his technique with you. I am obsessed with these pumpkins, almost enough to try this DIY project..

Supplies:

Pumpkin
Carving knife and spoon
Jewelry studs (Borgo recommends studsandspikes.com or M&J Trimming)
Krylon matte black spray paint

1. Pick your pumpkin at the local market. Borgo likes his medium-size, symmetrical, and round.
2. Empty out the seeds and pulp and begin to carve the face.
3. Try to accentuate the cutout shapes by studding around them, pushing the spikes into the shell of the pumpkin. Borgo likes to start with the eyes, followed by the nose; the mouth comes last.
4. After the face is completely studded, use Krylon matte black spray paint over the whole pumpkin to make it deep, deep black.

If your like me and not always a fan of the DIY projects, no biggie...Borgo can custom-make you one! eddieborgo.com
