Round black glasses, green jacket, black skirt, and combat boots! If you spent part of your high school education in the 90s, no doubt you met Daria Morgendorffer.

Daria was one of many intelligent, cynical, and witty women of the 90s that had a big influence on my adolescent life. Animated or not, she was definitely a memorable voice of my generation. It was Daria that showed me and probably many other rather shy and awkward late-bloomers, that it’s okay to have standards and principles.

Through her own failures as well, she showed us that our own fears of losing an identity, shouldn’t stop us from futher developing socially, intellectually, or emotionally.

Since I’ve been watching Daria episodes while working, I got to thinking that doing an updated but inspired Daria look would be fun.

I also posted this look on my lookbook, so if you like it please feel free to hype it. Thanks.

Back in 1997 when Daria first aired, I used to see myself as Daria. Looking back, I am totally more of a Jane Lane type.  Though I didn’t fit in, I also wasn’t stubbornly content on staying in my world and judging people who didn’t quite live up to my personal standards. This is much more characteristic of Jane than Daria.

I should be sleeping, but instead I’m blogging.

I bought one of those special dense foam blending sponges last week and decided to test drive it. I’ll have to post my comparisons between my regular sponges and brushes later.

While test driving it at 3 A.M, I also decided to play around with makeup, so I give you Hmong Barbie. Why? Actually, I am not sure… Amy actually called me that on instagram, so I stuck with it.

Last month Amy and I had the chance to attend the Makeup Show LA. I’m a bit behind on my events recap, lets hope I don’t go the Shrinkle route and go 8 months late. I did do a recap of the Blogger Night pre-party that was held.

Sugarpill wasn’t showing at the event, Amy and I were only going to check it out.

The Make Up Show is Pro Only, so the pace and atmosphere is different from the hectic IMATS crowd. I like the less chaotic atmosphere, and though the lines do get a bit long, it’s not on the same level as IMATS. The biggest difference is the noticeable lack of claustrophobia.

I forgot my camera the first day (Saturday), so I only got a few pictures from my iphone.
The first day I decided on a diy Spiked headband. Amy said I looked liked the Statue of liberty.

Look at my mostly-black virgin hair, oh my!

My make up is mostly Sugarpill. I had Junebug eyebrows, and Dollipop with NYX’s pink glitter liner over it. I was also wearing Tako and Afterparty.

3. Giveaway ends on Sunday April 15, 2012!

I’ll announce the winner next week!

The Kakumei pins are what I got from the 6%DOKIDOKI Kawaii tour last year.

I have the same OCC liptar in the older packing tube. Let me just say, this product is AMAZING. It literally takes a small small drop and a lipbrush. This bottle will last you FOREVER.

Well those are my two April giveaways, so hop to it, and good luck.

And lastly, thank all of you for your continuous support. You guys keep me inspired and motivated.

Last week I recieved a request from IvySaur, for a pin up themed prom style. Technically this isn’t true ‘pin up’, it’s more vintage inspired.

I’ve also posted this look on my Lookbook.nu as well as my Chictopia, so if you follow me there, hype the looks if you like it!

Going vintage takes is a bit of thrift shopping and research. A degree in design from www.designdegrees.org could also be helpful!
