Three intense days: day one.

Hello my dears! Those have been some intense but funny days to me.

On Friday I woke up really early and cleaned up the whole house, it took me about 7 hours (ok... This doesn't sound good but go on), then I drove to the studio where I had to do some test make up on a very beautiful model for the photographer who took the shooting for my band a couple of months ago (we have some upcoming plans). He uploaded a few pictures on his site but as long as the make up is not so visible in those pictures, he provided me with a portrait from the same set.

Then I run to meet a new Herbalife customer, went back home and my friend Rose came up to my place to spend two days together.
So that night we went to the Padova Pride Village, which is actually one of the few interesting things in this city. It was born about 4 years ago as a glbt friendly event and it got better every year: now its a two-month-long fair with two discos, loads of bar stands, food and clothes stands and several shows every night and special guests from all over the world. We saw the 5th phase of the Village Talent (a small version of X-Factor) and singers where terrible (except for the one I missed to go to the toilets) but missed the main late show because Rose drank too much and needed to go home. XD But until then we had very much fun and also met some gorgeous drag queens (the pink one was soooo nice). I was instead at the right point of drunkness, I felt very well and I even danced to that pop music I hate so much when I'm sane!

Btw those were the worst eyebrows I've ever drawn! (too low..I look dumb!)

Yesterday's and today's make up.

Yesterday I went out for a little shopping (basically because I was bored and needed to get out from my crypt for a while) and 4 people asked me about my make up: a 16/17 girl at the mall wanted to know where to go to have eyebrows drawn so her mother stopped me and asked me. I was a bit puzzled because, unless you have them tattooed, I don't think there are places where somebody draw them to customers. Thinking about it now I should have left them my number and start running a new business but at that moment I still was a bit surprised. Then two shop assistants in two different shops downtown asked me if they could watch my make up closely. I'm not used to all this attention! Today I tried my new emerald green eyeshadow to match with the fantastic blue/green iridescent eyeliner from Kiko I use almost everyday. I personally like this make up better than the one I had yesterday. Both the pictures were taken at night after a whole day so sorry if they are not perfect and my skin looks too shiny! :/

Voiceprint vs Vocal Range

During the last few weeks I listened to many unknown symphonic metal bands from all over the world, bands that are in some way comparable to Lachaise. Predictably I focused my attention on the voices of female singers and I noticed almost all of them are very similar: I found only one girl whose voice was "original" and I liked it, eventhought in this case the musicians were not skilled enough in my opinion. But I want to speak about what I know, singing indeed, I'm a singer, not a musician so, back to the voice matter, I sadly noticed that most of the female singers, despite of their good skills, have the same style of singing, and what I really don't like is that they seem to imitate most famous singers like Tarja or Simone and their very shady opera-like style disguising their natural voiceprint and then penalizing their whole work. But, unless you sing in one of those tribute bands where the members try to look after those from the original band in the whole look and style, why should you imitate them? I think that they would sing better if they discover their natural voiceprint and that they will never become big imitating something that already exists. One thing is playing the same genre and being influenced by some bands, one thing is making the same music we already heard thousands of times. I get bored listening to wanna-be-Tarja singers. Don't misunderstand what I'm saying: opera-like singing is very popular in this kind of music, and it's good, but trying to sing with a voiceprint that's not yours is not good at all. I want their real voices! They should develope their very own voice. I have a quite large vocal range that can go really low but unfortunately can't reach the highest notes these girls can reach (thought I can go quite high anyway), and this make my quite envious... But thank Goth I have a peculiar voiceprint and I know I'm not imitating anyone. I don't want to sound arrogant and I still have a lot to learn but even if I can't make those nightingale's chirps and trills more than once in a while I know people won't think I'm a wanna-be-Amy Lee or a wanna-be-Sharon singer and it won't be something they've already heard thousands of times when they'll listen to me. Furthermore, I drive for 50+50km (going+coming back) everytime I have to reharse with the band because the first time I heard my bandmates play I thought "this music has something peculiar I've never heard before and it's good".

Silly animated picture

Hhhahahhaha I'm too silly. I'm laughing my ass off... XDXDXD

New random pictures and facebook page

Today I took lots of random pictures and some cute sequences I'm gonna turn into gif as soon as I feel like it. I uploaded this and other nice ones on my brand new Facebook page. Some of my friends say creating a fanpage on Facebook when you are nobody is for losers who beg for attention and I agree in part, so I'm not gonna bother anyone to press the "like" button: I just did it because my bandmates think I should not show much of my private life on the internet with too personal status, silly pictures and posts (as I usually do) as long as among my friends list are not only people I know in person from a while. So I decided to split the private and public. I'm not gonna accept any more friend request on my personal profile unless I've been knowing the person in real life for a reasonably long time and also start asking the stranger ones to move (if they want... But if not I'll have to delete them anyway) from my personal profile to my public page. I went for the page not for "fans collecting" but simply because I can go from profile to page waaaay quicker without continuously logging in and out (that is actually extremely annoying). I hope you won't think I'm a loser begging for attention... ç___ç

Oh... Somebody made a portrait of me!

Browsing on facebook I found an album full of gorgeous pictures of gods and goddesses and my eye was captured by this one:This is Marowit, slav goddess of nightmares. I noticed: red long hair, pointed bang, big boobs, tiny waist, very large hips and thighs... That's the exact description of... Me! Why don't I look that gorgeous then??? That's not fair, not fair at all! ù____ù

My new look, step two

Goodbye messy eyebrows, welcome awesomeness.
Many days ago I ordered the black Stargazer semi-permanent tattoo pen and I was waiting for it to be delivered before shaving my eyebrows and draw them with it. But it still hasn't arrived and I just have not enough patience: I was so looking forward to practicing that a few minutes ago I decided to shave them anyway and practicing with liquid eyeliner. This is my first attempt ever so I apologize if it's not perfect but I'm quite satisfied with it.
For the third and last (by now) step I have to wait utill the summer ends because is something that should not be done with sun and heat.
