Living in a small town can either make you uber comfortable or keep you on the fritz. Rebecca and Enid are experiencing the latter. Ghostworld is written and illustrated by Daniel Clowes and the comic delves into the lives of two american teens in a small town. The Comic gave way to a movie in 2001 of the same name and starred Scarlett Johannsson as Rebecca and Thora Burch as Enid.  All I have to say is – Rent it!

Rebecca is a blossoming young woman who is interested in boys, etc and is starting to appreciate the finer things in life- something tells me Smith’s Rosebud Salvve light scent can works its way through her life. Where as Enid is down to have fun and mischief- judging by her greenish tinted lips- MAC Spanish Fly is probably her lippie of choice.

Liz Sherman is the original firestarter and lady love of Hellboy- despite in the films being portrayed by Icy -staired Selma Blair.

Anywho, the Bureau of Paranormal Research and Defense know that they have a great sluther on their hands who know how to get the fire started and defuse flaired tempers ( talkin’to you HellBoy) all while looking cool. NARS Machu Picchu is probably Liz’s go to product after flair-ups to ensure her sparkle goes a long way.

I can’t help to think -eyelashes when I think about Aeon Flux. But I do!  Aeon Flux conjures up Avant Garde is a stange alter futuristic reality. While I was too young to follow the show closely ( and frankly to scared of some of the characters in the show). I just know that their clothing seemed like the only freedom the nation of Monica had.

But I digress, a futuristic comicbook/tv show character needs futuristic makeup and Givenchy Phenomen’eyes is just it.

When Water &Power  corporation is monopolizing all the water supply in 2033. Tank Girl ( and Jet Girl) spring to action on adventure to stop them. Though it would be easy if TG kept her charasmatic trap shut right? I bet she’s a big fan of anything Army green from Urban Decay!

In 1995 Tank Girl the comic book was adapted into a film with Lori Petty ( the part fits her so well) and Naomi Watts along with Michael McDowell and Ice-T as a Kangaroo- human hybrid.

p.s. the soundtrack to the movie is pretty kickin’

Oh the future.

I’m sure she goes through Manic Panic bottles like no bodies business.

Can’t wait for Scott Pilgram vs. the world!

Who is the one of the best rockers in Riverdale? Why it’s Val Brown!

Best played by Rosario Dawson in the live action version of the movie as a bassists, although in the cartoon she shook the tamberine better than Eve ( Sorry Eve, but true).

When Josie is all up in her own world or hanging out with Alan, who saves the day? Val does!

I’d like to think that NARS Revolt complements her so well!

When Betty Cooper isn’t fighting with Veronica Lodge over Archie’s attention, she is putting her smarts to good use, who needs some dude who can’t make up his mind anyway? Amiright?

While Veronica is the earlier half of the aughties, lux, decadent, spinning rims.. Betty was the girl who was concerned about the future- whether it be animal , civil or human rights.

I bet she had a Korres lipgloss while lounging in the grassy knoll, dreaming up solutions for peace.

Paul Frank for Lipsmackers!

Sheree’s Sweet Sugar Berry lipgloss.

yum!

San Diego International Comic-Con 2010 will be descending upon us on July 22nd. In anticipation, I have teamed up my favorite comic-book, graphic novel and cartoon inspirations with beauty products which character would probably know and love if they were in the real world today.

Enjoy the series of posts and Hope to see you there!

Lavande Garde will be Lavande Con at the time and will be giving you frequent updates of the San Diego International Comic- Con 2010 happenings.

What I anticipate:

• Spiderman Reboot info
• Pirates 4 info teaser
• Halo movie info
• Tron Legacy teasers ( hopefully Daft Punk will be in the house!)

Anyway, here is my homage of sorts to one of Riverdale’s finest, Veronica Lodge.

Being as fashion forward as Anna Wintour and not missing any trend whatsoever this Summer, Veronica’s fingertips would be pointing and repremanding Archie for his genuine aloofness and sparking pretty with Chanel’s Riviera Nail Polish.
