Tribal Style: Warrior Princess Make-up

So I finally watched the movie Avatar, and wound up inspired enough to try some sort of Tribal make-up. I wanted to provoke a wild-child sort of feeling with these photos, and I think I achieved that with the textured, thick blue paint, tinted lips, beaded jewelry, and patterned head-scarf. I wasn't trying to capture the look of any particular culture or try to be a Na'vi or anything (although what a fun day that would be! Alas, I am lacking the funds for all the materials I would need)...

I hope you enjoy, and that this inspires you as well.

Doctor Who Inspired: Fun Costuming Expedition

Earlier this year, a friend and I did a Doctor Who inspired photoshoot. I got my sonic screwdriver in the mail (which lights up and makes noise!) and decided to go with a look that seemed like it could come out of the series. I didn't want to try to be a certain character or anything; just something original for once. 

I took after the David Tennant series, and brought out my trench coat in honor of him. One of these days, when money is sufficient, I'd love to do a full-on cosplay of the man. 

But for now... on a limited budget, with limited time, this is what I came up with.
