What an Awesome Thread!
Thanks tjolims for the awesome thread! I have to think of some questions to ask the interesting ladies (and gents) of NP.com
Vexing, isn't it? FX makeup isn't really my world, I'm on the fashion/beauty side. I got my start in film, however, and what I can say across the board is that black skin still trips people out. The two OH MY GAWED WHAT DO I DO?? triggers for makeup artists seem to be black skin and asian eyes. I just had a private lesson with a student this past couple of days and we did the same looks I know she's done 5mil times just fine on white models but because we had black models the last two days she completely couldn't figure out color or matching or anything and it's like we had to start absolutely from scratch. It's bizarre. So that collective freak-out factor affects everything from wig work to skin appliances. More black folk need to get into FX makeup! (I know a few. I have a girlfriend who works at Rick Baker Studio which was the team responsible for The Nutty Professor series and like films. Needless to say her skills are ridiculous...)
Star Trek!
You know I think about the makeup on the original series the same way I do all "old timey" makeup. Does it look as good/realistic as makeup nowdays? No. HOWEVER it required more skill and artistry on the part of the artists who were doing it. They had to make something out of nothing, there was no CGI/After Effects/ or other computer trickery to take up the slack. And makeup artists back then had to do everything from monster modeling to beauty. It was a different artform. Also all those old-time makeup artists you're talking about the people who originated and innovated techniques, products, appliances, etc. that artists use to this day. Fred Williams - the artist who worked on the Star Trek TOS - studied under William Tuttle. William Tuttle was the first makeup line to include colors for performers of color and is still some of the best professional makeup for POC to this day.Last edited by Soul Rebel; 09-03-2011 at 09:27 PM.

I don't have any cats right now. My 17 year old adoptee cat that I had for a year died just before I came back to the UK, this January. I miss him, but he had a good run.
I'd slow it waaaay the heck down, educate myself more on immigration and visa laws, and create a really good escape/contingency plan as well.
The thing is, I never really intended to *move* abroad in the first place. I came to England for six months because I needed a break from my US life, found a community and a calling, and just wound up staying, basically. I'd thought about expatriation before but I wanted to go to Africa or the Carribbean and do some sort of social justice work there. I went to the US for two months after my first trip, got a visa, then came back here and stayed. If I had taken six months or a year in the US instead of two, I would have been much better prepared and far more settled...but then again, I probably would have talked myself out of moving to begin with. Also, at the end of my fourth year, I went to the US to get a visa renewed...but ran into health, and therefore financial problems...and wound up spending one long miserable year scraping by in the US before I could return to the UK. It totally screwed my life in the US and in the UK and put me *years* behind where I wanted to be. If I'd had a contingency plan, a better safety net, more financial preparation, that wouldn't have happened. But, hindsight is always 20-20...ultimately I wouldn't change my decision.

I have a question for Cinnamon Biscuit: What brought on the name change? Boredom? Hunger?
