Cheap Tricks: Stink Like You Mean It!

If you're gonna be a creep, you gotta smell like one.

Today's cheap trick is more or less common knowledge for us veteran creepazoids. So here's what most of you already know: Eat stuff with onions and garlic before you play your creepy little Nosferatu, and project your 'H-words!'

Other options are potent cheeses like gouda, hard-boiled eggs.

For the particularly adventurous, try mixing different fragrance oils and soaking a cotton ball with the oil, and sticking the ball in a pocket. (Use plastic wrap to protect the fabric if you're particularly attached to the garment.)

A Case of the Mondays: IC Rants from Jenny Talia

I've got a fuckin' bone to pick, and it ain't in my pants.

THIS IS NOT YOUR REAL FACE

So, here's the deal: You're a Cleo. You were Queen of Downtown back in '92. You modeled for Calvin Klein. You were so popular you had two answering machines to catch all the messages people were leaving you. Okay, that was me, but anyways: Now you're a pug-ugly monster with gigantic ears and beyond normal male-patterned baldness. Your life sucks because now you'll never be invited to any of those rockin' parties that the Torries throw that's got the clean hookers and quality blow. Boo-fucking-hoo.

This is the face I am making right fucking now.

We get it. Seriously. We all understand the shit of reality when we look in the mirror and are greeted with gaping maws and strangely-sprouted appendages. And warts. And oh yeah, those oozing pustules that smell strangely like roast beef.

Get over it.

You're one of us now. You have to understand that while the rest of the world will shun you based on looks, we are family. We accept you. We love you, at best, and at worst we tolerate you like that drunken uncle at a family reunion. So here's some tips, because we really don't like having to put you out of our misery just because you're the superficial idiot. In truth, you're useful. We're useful to you. Learn this and love it.

1. Down here, we're all ugly. Don't hide from us, it ain't doing you any favors.

2. Your mastery over masking your looks is actually VERY handy when dealing topside. Pick your marks wisely.

3. Do not, under any circumstances, treat family like shit. We're all you've got when it comes down to it.

4. Expect a little hazing. Really. We wouldn't be a family if we didn't show our love this way. Take it with a grain of salt, buck up, and fucking get over it.

Fucking Primadonnas

If you can't handle that shit, just get an asp to chomp down on your tit like your namesake already and get out of my way.

Hrm. I think I lost my steam. But anyway... Stay safe, stay hidden, stay informed.

Love + Scissors,

Jenny Talia the Jiffysquid

Cheap Tricks: Instant Packaged Oatmeal!

I'm serious.

Instant oatmeal and a cup of water makes awesome fake vomit. So all you projectile purgers out there listen up if you absolutely need to put on a display vomit. Get the stuff with fruit in it, for added color and texture. Mix it in the cup with enough water to make it runny, take a swig and go to town!

Protip: Do not use indoors. This will make you 'that guy that cost your game a site', and nobody likes 'that guy'. Don't be that guy, man, he's an asshole.

Warning: Do not inhale. Harmless if swallowed.

Makeup and You: Eyeshadow and the Color Wheel

So, this is just a quick little snippet of fun, easy eye makeup tricks that pack an eerie punch!

Does your Creep have intense, hollow eyes? Do you... well, not? No problem! Almay makes palettes of eyeshadow combinations that are intended to make your real eye color pop.

Good things come in threes

It's called "intense i-color" powder shadow, and all you need to do for a night of spying and information-selling is to use a bit around your lids! This stuff really makes any eye color intense no matter the light.

The best part of it? The guess work of color theory is done for you! Just pick your natural eye-color, and there's a coordinating palette especially for you!

The whole set for Green eyes.

Almay's shadow palettes also have coordinating eyeliner and mascara for the daring! Use the darker colors of the palette for a real smoldering and creepy look, or the lighter ones to brighten them. Use both for a Cleopatra.

Color Wheel Guesswork? Done!

For that sickly, anemic and jaundiced-eye look: Use a shade of goldish green toward the inner corners of your eyes and blend liberally around your lower eyelids, the creases of your upper eyelids and along your brow.

First post: Really, a test post.
