DIY Lady Gaga Born This Way Video Makeup
One of the most epic albums to come out this year, Born This Way by Lady Gaga, not only carried a heavy and relevant message for culture at large, but also was triumph of art and styling that will inspire all kinds of future artsy projects. Here is a pretty spectacular video breakdown of the skull makeup used in the title track music video.

Really?!? Celebrity Halloween Costumes
Mariah kinda half-assed the cookie bit in our opinion. Why not be the cookie? She obviously had to go all “sexy” and opted to glue shellacked cookies all over her pasty corset. If Nick really wanted to match, he’d glue little milk cartons all over his body and dispense free milk at groin level. We’re jus’ sayin’.
Here’s a fine pair! Fergie, while sexualizing a wholesome institution for young American girls, also loses points because she’s wearing gloves and a tiara. It’s just confusing. On the other hand, Sookie wears her tiara quite well as the Pickle Queen (???). I guess we just want to know who she paid to make that pickle chip dress and how much that giant dirty pickle weighs atop her sceptor. And does she smell like pickles? We like to think she does.
Owie! Ouchie ouchie! Good gawd woman! Have some pity on yourself and those pricey jugs. It’s awful, but we can’t look away. Maybe that was Coco’s idea when choosing this truly trashy costume.
