For every girl, a garter

I'm a sucker for a femme fatale. My friend Jessica says it is because I admire strong women. Whether or not that is a correct diagnosis, one of my forever favorite vixens is Poison Ivy.

As I originally saw her - In cartoon form

I'm also have a thing for red heads. Go figure.

Alas, I don't really see any day soon in which it would be acceptable for me to don red waves and/or green leaves.  So I leave it up to you, my internet darlings. Please someone dress up as Poison Ivy. I mean, I already have your garters ready and waiting for you.

Garter pair: Poison Ivy
usually I'd just stop the "For every girl" feature with a garter photo and go about my merry day.  But I love this character so much couldn't resist doing a little costume recon.

I can appreciate a comic book character's traditional leotard and tights uniform, but I think I prefer the skirted renditions.

Let's take a page from yesterday's post and focus on getting into character all the way to the tips of your fingers.




Even though it's Halloween it's still just a crazy outfit until you put your face on.




I love holidays that let you dress up. And seriously, be Poison Ivy.  She's undeniable.  If you do use the coupon code FemmeFatale at my shop and shipping is free.

Lashing out

The other day I got an e-mail from Sephora announcing their exclusive line of Paperself false eyelashes.


Deer and Butterfly Eyelashes

I adore whimsy, and I love playing with make-up, but I don't know...I am just not sure I could imagine donning any of these wen it isn't Halloween.

Of course, I do love all those shades between blue and green.

And oh, how Wonderland are these?

I love the sparkle, but wouldn't these be heavy?

I'm still on the fence. What say you, my darlings?  Could you, would you rock extreme false lashes any and everywhere?
