Your face is a LIE!

About a week ago, my friend, Jules, used me as a model for her mom’s jewelry store.  I never had such proper treatment before.  And I never had that much makeup being put on to one single face…my face.

Jules, a MAC makeup artist, did a great job regardless.  It was crazy! I never knew that my own dork face was capable of such impeccable hotness, all thanks to Jules and her fine makeup artistry.  Here are some photos of the shoot, some of them are “actual” shoots and others were from our regular cameras mostly for fun:

Boy do I love makeup.  Isn’t it great how putting a little can accentuate features?  And putting lots of it on can really altar a woman’s face in drastic measures, capable of deceiving men? And speaking of men, I wonder if they–who are attracted to women that always wear caked-on powder, caked-on lipgloss, caked-on eyeshadow, and whatever other form of cosmetic they’d put on to their heart’s content–are aware of what might be underneath the cake-laden face.

After a couple of hours of shooting, I drove home with the makeup on.  On my way there, some guy driving next to me stared and whistled at me, and made flattering remarks.  Usually, this doesn’t happen.   And this whole time, I couldn’t help but to think, “If he only knew…”  If he only knew that the glossy lips, the rosey cheeks, the long lashes weren’t hereditary.  If he only knew that I really don’t wear makeup unless I go out for a special occasion or that I’m with my boyfriend (sorry Matt!).

If he only knew that he was actually whistling to this:

Lol

What’s in Tiff’s Bag?

Do you really want to know?

One silica gel packet, it came with the purse.

A napkin, possibly unused.

Blue pen

My driver’s license and credit card inside of a 24 Hr Fitness card holder (those things really come in handy).

Target gift card from last Christmas.

Printed directions to the Brea Improv (to check out Steve Byrne YEAH!!!)

My digital camera, though the camera case will be representing it for now, since I’m kind of using it right now to take this picture.

Sidekick

Pile of receipts

Update: Correcto mundo Scott! I have strategically placed an “X” over my feet so people will know that severed toes are not included.

Fashun

I guess I haven’t been talking about “fashion” lately, so I thought it’d be good for me to steal Katy’s fashion meme and make it my own. Muahahah thanks Katy.

Name the item of clothing that has been with you the longest:
I’m looking in my closet right now and you know what? All of my clothes are all fairly old except maybe one or two things haha.  However, I’ve been buying new shoes, so I’m going to cheat and go with the pair of shoes that I’ve had the longest:

Black leather slouch boots! Though I don’t wear them as much as I use to, I’ve had these boots for roughly five years.

Other than jeans, what’s an article of clothing that you can’t live without?
I sure can’t live without a t-shirt.

What was the last item of clothing you bought?
An army camouflage printed shorts.  They’re made for boys, but it fits me.

What’s the ugliest trend of all time?
I can’t really say ’cause I’ve seen some girls wear the ugliest looking piece of shit sweater and make it look fashion forward.  And I’ve seen girls wear really nice, expensive pants or some other shit, and turn it to something cheap and tacky.  Yeah, unforgivable.

I welcome all kinds of trends, but I just think it depends on the person, their body type, and the way they carry themselves.

And the best?
Same as above.

What was your biggest fashion faux-pas?
I use to wear small fitted t-shirts that showed the lower part of my stomach. Gag me with a fork. Look at me trying to show off my new purse and faking a surprised look, I looked like such an asshole.

What colors predominate in your wardrobe?
I’ve got all sorts of colors!

What are your vintage shopping strategies?
Go to a vintage store.

What’s the most insane piece of clothing that you have ever owned?
I thought it was my leopard printed pants, but apparently, it’s my leather pants.  Every time I wear them, I get the most obnoxious stares from women, and they look at me as if I’m an insane person who likes to punch random people right before they eat.

If you could describe the majority of the clothes you own in one word, what would it be?
Well, I got A LOT of black leather, so I’d say insane-pseudo-biker-who-punches-random-people-right-before-they-eat.

Chuc mung nam moi!

Wow, did I just say that? This time of year brings out the inner fob in me. It really does.

Well this is going to be quick and painless guys, I just wanted to wish a Happy Chinese and Vietnamese New Years to those who celebrate it.

I’ll be looking forward to spending time with family and relatives, eating good Asian food, receiving those goody little red envelopes (lì xì), and definitely, definitely will look forward to gambling in a game of bau cua.

My Christmas Wishylist

World War Z: An Oral History of the Zombie War by Max Brooks

I’m really bad when it comes to reading books.  98% of the books that is currently on my bookshelf has been read…halfway.  Oh I plan on finishing all of them, pages are still bookmarked and everything, but it’s probably not going to happen in this lifetime.  Actually, I really don’t know why I’m asking for another book, but this one’s about zombies man! And believe it or not, I did read the whole book of The Zombie Survival Guide (safety first!), which is also written by Max Brooks, so I think I’ll get into WWZ without a sweat.

Betseyville or Betsey Johnson bag in studded shiny (or not shiny) black leather

I’m really not into bags.  Whenever I go out, I normally take my cards, keys, and cellphone with me, so there’s not much to carry had I use bags.  But if there’s one bag out there that I’d rock regardless of my lack of shit to put in, it would most certainly be the Betsey bags.  Bags designed by Betsey Johnson/Betseyville are straight up tacky and over the top…but I like it.  And I think carrying bags of gaudiness would perfectly balance everything out whenever I have a normal plain ol’ outfit on.

Disney Pixar Ultimate Movie Collection

I’ve loved every movie Pixar has made for Disney, and I still like watching them whenever I get the chance to, so I’m pretty sure this item was made for me. And remember, this isn’t Disney Pixar Movie Collection, it’s Disney Pixar Ultimate Collection. Ultimate. That’s fucking hardcore, man.

Every gotdamn music soundtrack from movies by Quentin Tarentino

I’m not sure if Mr. Tarentino gets to select his choice of songs for every movie he’s directed, but each and every song I’ve heard from all of his movies brings a sweet feeling of orgasm to my ears.  The songs in Grindhouse Death Proof is at the top of my list of most orgasmic.

Marvel Zombies 1, 2, and 3 in hardcover

Marvel Zombies is one of the most interesting reads to come out of comic books.  The concept of Marvel Zombies is genius.  Just imagine a horde of Marvel comic book characters turned into flesh-eating zombies who are able to retain their humanity.  That’s frightening…and pretty awesome.  I’ve finished the first volume, and and the first two issues of the 2nd volume, and would love more than anything than to finish reading all of it.

Help Tiff pick out a dress for the AMAs

One of the (awesome) girls I worked with on the last film had an extra VIP pass for the American Music Awards and decided to take me as a guest.   I’m so thrilled about it! I get to goto Def Jam Record’s AMA pre-party and the AMA’s “private” after party.

The only tiny issue is that I have to dress “upscale” and I’m not even sure what upscale exactly means! When I think of upscale, I think of something expensive and designer.  I clearly do not own anything that is close to that…I buy my dresses from places like Forever 21 and Wetseal!

So I have these three dresses that I have in mind (plus the dress I wore in Katy Perry’s music video), and considering that the majority of the people who read my blog are women, I figure you guys can help me and pick the one that is the most appropriate attire for the occasion. If none of these are going to work, then I have no problem buying something else.

If I go with the first one, I figure I can wear black stockings with them.  As for the two right, they might be not “upscale” enough, I don’t know. What do you think? I need halp!

Shopping, just shopping.

After I had quit my job, I made a promise to myself that I wouldn’t be retarded and buy retarded stuff that I wouldn’t need.

Well…let me start over that promise again. I found a pair of really hot and stylish gladiator wedges today, and only problem was that it came in two really good colors that I could totally rock, brown and black.

When I can’t decide between two colors, my instincts would tell me to buy both of them, and that’s exactly what I did, I followed my instincts. I know, I know, I’m going to be homeless and end up selling counterfeit designer bags, like cuuchi and channel , on the streets if I don’t stop this addiction.

There are women who can’t stop shopping for clothes, makeup, accessories, and or bags. I just can’t stop buying shoes, and btw, I need another separate closet for my shoes, because that shit is taking up space, for real.

So if any of you guys catch me at the mall (which has happened before), and I’m about to swipe my card, please don’t hesitate to slap my hand from swiping. I won’t hold it against you.

And yah, I did have to pose with them and take pictures-they were THAT hot. The brown ones go with a lot more outfits. And I guess I could wear the black ones whenever I’m feeling a little dominatrix-y.

My hair evolution

Now that I’m trying to take on an acting career, I have to be consistent with one particular look (I have to look like the conventional Asian girl), and if you didn’t know, I’m actually half human half chameleon.

I’m somebody who needs to change and progress nearly every single day. I frequently change my themes on this site. I change the interior design in my bedroom.  I change friends all the time. I change guys that I date, etc etc (These are all upgrades, btw, tehee).

I just can’t stand keeping my things dead and stagnant.

My image, especially my hair, changes a lot and I love the fact that I’m able to reinvent every now and then. I just dyed it to all black yesterday and unfortunately, I have to keep this color for a long time, which makes me a little sad now that I can’t experiment on it anymore.

So in honor of my humbling hair history I’m going to post my hair timeline/collage.

Some good, some bad, but all Tiff.

God Bless America

Hi party people! This entry is going to quick and painless. I just want to wish all of my fellow Americans a happy fourth of July.

I’ll be sporting my patriotic pants (see photo below). I really dig them.

Have a safe night!

I HAVE TO HAVE IT!

I’m still—very much—concerned about the last incident that happen and my job in general. To get my mind off of every bad thing that has been affiliated with my job, I’m going to write about some items that I really really want. When I usually think about the stuff that I want to shop for, the stress seems to disperse and then everything becomes peachy keen…for a moment of course.

Ok so here’s my list of I HAVE TO HAVE IT!

Dexter bobblehead

If you’ve been following my blog lately, you shouldn’t be surprise that I’m a huge fan of the TV show, Dexter (future post). I want every damn driver and pedestrian to notice the magnificence of my Dexter bobblehead and be familiar with the fact that I’m a huge fan of that show. I guess I have that mentality of a sports fanatic who pimps their ride with tacky sports logo (flags, abnormally large bumper stickers, etc) representing their favorite team. I don’t have a favorite sports team, however I do have a favorite TV show! Why not sport your favorite show on your own ride as well? I want to be in the loop!

Leg lamp

I love (leg) lamp. I have mentioned, on one of my earlier entries, about redecorating my bedroom. As time changes, people do. I’m not into the whole 80’s brightly colored childish rooms anymore. I want something that screams artsy fartsy, morose and slightly sexual. I thought about it, and the traditional classic film A Christmas Story automatically took a dump on my head. Remember that leg lamp in the film that was purchased by the dad, who was totally getting off on it? Yeah, that one…I want that one, but I assure you I won’t be doing outlandish kinky things with it. The leg lamp will surely add a nice touch to the room once the revamping is final.

Anything studded

For a couple months, I’ve been infatuated with anything that’s laden with studs. If you’re wearing an outfit that’s really boring and basic, a studded bag or a pair of studded shoes will undeniably make your whole outfit look 10x better.

Keyboard typing pants

I keed, I keed.
