You have to watch this montage of witches set to the song “I’d Rather Be Burned
As A Witch” sung by Eartha Kit.

You may remember her as Eva Pigford winner of America’s Next Top Model who is celebrating her birthday today. She was always my favorite of the ANTM girls and I only wished she had changed her name from the start. Any name with Pig in it can’t be good for a model/actresses career. She’s too gorgeous to be associated with pork!

“M·A·C for McQueen is the culmination of the collaboration between celebrated designer Alexander McQueen, leading makeup artist Charlotte Tilbury, and M·A·C Cosmetics for the Alexander McQueen Autumn Winter 2007 show. The collection includes 16 products, 12 hand blended specifically for the AW 07 McQueen show by Terry Barber, M·A·C Cosmetics Director of Makeup Artistry and lead makeup artist Charlotte Tilbury just days before the show. The classic M·A·C Cosmetics packaging is stamped with the Alexander McQueen logo, as if plucked straight from the makeup artists’ table backstage. When we embarked on the packaging, I wanted to have the sense that these are really just imprints by Alexander McQueen, fresh, hot off the runway. They are meant to be direct from the runway and feeling on trend,” says James Gager, Senior VicePresident Creative Director for M·A·C Cosmetics.

Since 1996 M·A·C Cosmetics has worked with Alexander McQueen backstage by providing makeup and artistry support. “The makeup for a show plays up certain elements of the clothing, changes the overall feeling, and mood. I work with the key artist, Charlotte in this case, to take the makeup in a certain direction, and discuss my original inspiration for the collection as well as the mood, theme, and focus for the show. This time inspiration was derived from Elizabeth Taylor in the 1963 film Cleopatra. The Egyptian influence plays up a very feminine sexual strength that was present in my inspiration for the collection,” says Alexander McQueen. This marks the first time Alexander McQueen has partnered with a cosmetics company.”

Jimmy James is the best Marilyn impersonator I’ve ever seen. I chose this video because you get to see a little of how Jimmy creates the Marilyn Monroe image with makeup before singing in his own voice ‘I Want To Be Loved By You”. I had the pleasure of seeing Jimmy perform live once and not only does he look and sound like her but he truly captures the essence of Miss Marilyn Monroe.
