AND!

since we are on the topic of la maquillage au naturale (pardon my french, seriously) ... i just recently got sucked into the gorgeous vaccuum that is sephora and dropped some dimes on some great stuff to liven up the ol' pallor: bare escentuals. i know everyone and their mom has seen the swirl-tap-buff sensation on every home shopping network in existence, but seriously.. the stuff works. sephora is selling kits for around $60 and they come with EVERYTHING.

either way, find it. it's a boxfull of sexy.

and since we're on this topic... i am addicted to getting dolled up to portuguese powerpop powerhouse Cansei De Ser Sexy.

(note: cansei de ser sexy - portuguese = tired of being sexy... inspired by beyonce's pompous tush once muttering 'ugh... i'm so tired of being sexy.')

the band is dominated by femme fatales with names like lovefoxxx and they recommend making love whilst listening to death from above. rawr.

seriously, if this shit doesn't make you want to do spin kicks in stilettos, you have something wrong with you.

music is their hot, hot sex and, trust me, they will make it yours, too. (www.myspace.com/canseidesersexy)
