Some Justice League Backstage photos

Jay and Me.....Jay's the assistant director of the show. He's Filipino and a very soft spoken man. Cute!

Esther aka the sexy, evil Volcana. She has hair til her calves!
I love this picture. It was taken crooked because of my bad aiming skills but it turned out quite nice. Like a mini wallpaper kinda shot!

Me and Mag. Love ya babe!



Lydia and me. Lydia is the backstage manager cum caretaker. She "mommies" all of us and helps us with our costumes and props. She is one cool gemini!



Zatanna! Mistress of Magic!
"She's a little hung over from last night. ;P"

Batman! Practicing his kungfu moves in front of the mirror.
He's very cute in person!
Jay is attempting to capture it on cam.

P.S. I think i look horrible in the photos. Argh, bad skin!

Beauty and Me

I went to the Shiseido counter at Isetan Scotts today to get some skincare items. Spent a bomb on one make up remover and 2 moisturizers for day and night care. I then sauntered over to MAC and bought a compact, 2 eyeshadow plates and a kohl pencil. Yes, the past 2 weeks of perfomance has depleted my makeup.

After I pay for everything and glance at my receipt (i will keep the number to myself) , it strikes me that women really spend loads on skincare just so that they can keep their skin healthy, soft, smooth and supple. All the cash just rolls into the skincare department....oh and clothes and bags and shoes and hair.......ahhh whatever!

Well....the worries and importance of skincare for a dancer are more.

Imagine having to do shows on a daily basis for 2-3 weeks. You keep piling on the stage makeup (it's thicker than normal natural makeup)and removing it. Piling on, removing, Piling on, removing. The skin can't breathe and probably gets clogged when the make up is on and the cleaning off might give you wrinkles years later. You have to invest in good effective skincare products to make sure that all impurities are removed from your skin when you cleanse and to ensure that the skin gets the necessary nutrients to keep healthy, firm and radiant. I'm always very worried I'll get wrinkles around my eyes earlier than every other woman whenever I remove my eye makeup. I sigh when I see a blackhead and I moan when i get a slight outbreak. I just don't feel pretty and confident with bad skin.

I think I'll go for a facial after the shows are finished and done with...and there you have another money sucking machine. It hurts like hell as well!

To what extents would you go for beauty, ladies?


P.S. Some photos up in a bit...

Self Improvement x 2

I have started to go to bed every night by 1.30am and waking up at around 9-10am these past 2 weeks. I'm starting to slowly feel my body clock move back to "normal" hours which is good news. Knowing how I like to work, think, watch videos and surf the net until the wee hours of the night usually...I'll probably have to work very hard to maintain this healthier pattern after my show ends, but I will succeed. "It's all in the mind....it's all in the mind."

Also....

Yay! The book i ordered from Amazon.com spree came in the post today. Ureshiii. The entire book is in Japanese, so..... *whips out her dusty e-dictionary* .....I shall work hard at reading and translating it for myself to understand. I'm going to try and use it as a medium to practice and revise the language in preparation for the upcoming trip to the land of the rising sun.

With this post, I shall head to bed like a good girl...

Zzz.....

Bad show

We almost screwed up the show today.
All because of some wrongly placed boxes and a carpet stage.
Thankfully, we did not.

Serving the Justice League is hard work.....
