The paper plate was so I had something for the nail polish to drip on while I was waiting for the timer to get close =P

"Nothing can bring you peace but yourself."

Ahhh I was up so freaking late last night!
5am to be exact... And was up at 11:30am.
I hate myself....LOL.

Anyway, I went shopping in Mt. Joy yesterday with my mom and grandmother and little brother... and I got a really pretty necklace! So I had to take a picture with it, of course.

BEFORE:

AFTER!:

Oh, and if you live in the area...
Go to Bube's Brewery sometime.
It's the bomb. Srsly.

-Shel

Brighter Than Sunshine

Here's the before and after of today's shot :D

BEFORE:

AFTER!:

Yes, my ears are gauged...
I edited my gauges out because they were awfully distracting.

Not much to update on.
So I'm gonna go watch Bret Michaels' E! True Hollywood Story :D

-Shel

The Only Difference Between Martyrdom and Suicide is the Press Coverage.

Sooo this is my crappy P!ATD shot that I did a few weeks ago and never posted - for a few reasons...
- Ketchup doesn't make good blood unless it's diluted and reddened a bit more.
- Blood is runnier than ketchup.
- Blood doesn't have seasoning in it.
- I had to over texturize the photo to cover up the fact that ketchup SUCKS as fake blood.
- I'm not good enough with GIMP to 'shop in the blood.
- I suck.
- At life.

So yeah. Aside of that, it basically came out how I wanted. This picture doesn't go with the song as much as it goes with the title. I did it based off the title because I had no inspiration from the lyrics of any of the songs. So...at least the POINT of the picture is very good... the execution just kind of sucked :[

BEFORE:

AFTER!:

That's all for now.
Leave me some lovely comments!

6/52: Wonderwall.

Hey guys! Not much to update everyone on tonight, so I'll just give you a before and after :]

BEFORE:

AFTER!:

As you can see...
I did a lot of airbrushing. I'm breaking out like crazy right now.
Although it's better than it was a few days ago :]

I also had verrry little makeup on! Just mascara, blush, and powder.
I actually liked it.
Anyway, that's all for now. See ya laterrr!

-Shel

Pretty Pink Shopping!

It's been a while since I posted a before and after!
I took some time off from my more extensively edited photos due to the fact that we had to put my dog down the other day. She was on her way to vet as I was editing my photo that day. I decided not to go along because that closure, that witnessing of the fact, is what really gets to me the most. Even so, it was awful... I'd had her since I was 3 years old.
She was like 16 years old and nothing was really wrong with her... it was just time. She'd get these rare-ish, occasional spells where she'd stand up and just fall back down and then she'd kind of go into a very mild seizure (just drooling and kind of delirious) - she had another one on Saturday where she sat up and she just fell back over and went into convulsions, then she just lay there for a while. She was pretty much back to normal by the time my dad and babylove took her to the vet and that made it even harder to say goodbye, but it was pretty inevitable at that point, so we just decided to do it.

Yeah...the weekend was tough. But I'm back and feeling a bit better :]
So! Here's today's before and after!

BEFORE:

AFTER!:

That picture took a while to do, purely because of making the bag pink. Colorizing it was easy, but touching up the edges was pain in the arse. Oh well. I do it all for the sake of photography that I'm going nowhere with. I wonder every day why I do it. I guess it's something to do so I can put off my school work =P

That's all for now guys.
See ya later!

Hellooo everyone!
I got new P!ATD shots up! Check them out!

BEFORE:

AFTER!:

That one took forever to get the right angle...
And now the other one!

BEFORE:

AFTER!:

I need to be a little more dramatic next time. P!ATD is like the most dramatic band ever and my shots are like sissy shots compared to the way they are. Enjoy!

-Shel

Pretty Pink Sloth.

Today's Pretty Pink Tuesday theme was the seven deadly sins... So I did sloth :D

Today will be another boring day of school... but maybe tomorrow will be better - my babylove is home for a week and a half for spring break! :D

It took me about 3 hours to edit... I'm sure you can see why!




I hope everyone enjoyed my first installment to my Panic! At The Disco inspired set. Keep your eyes open for more to come! :D

Pretty Pink Skirt Day!

Okay, so it's a tad late, but I decided to post a before and after of this shot because the editing was decently extensive although it looks quite simple. We'll just say I shaved off about 10 or 15 lbs :D I also fixed the hem of my skirt....virtually :]

BEFORE!:

AFTER!:

I quite like how this came out now that I look at it :]
