It's been a while since I've reported in on the red carpet. This past week however, we saw some fabulosity.
Check it out
The hotness that is Emily Blunt at the LA premiere of Wolfman.
Looking like a slice of perfection. And I would die for this dress! The lovely Camilla Belle on Sunday night at the Audi Oscar event. Rocking a Marchesa dress
and looking beautiful.
Love the dress, love the hair, love the makeup.
Can't wait to see what this weekend brings! Can pretty much guarantee there will be some gorgeous Hererra, Marchesa, Versace... It will be fab!!
My favorite color is purple. I love it in all its many shades, hues and nuances. Love.
So I am super thrilled that this spring is going to show us lots of violets and lilacs, both in clothes and in makeup.
Hermes, showed it in separates
Cynthia Rowley fresh violet with soft movement.
oooh! Alberta Ferretti sweet lilac dress
and I die. Over Burberry Porsum's gorgeous lilac dress and killer fab shoe!
We actually have a makeup tutorial video coming up in the next couple of weeks that is all about how to do a violet eye.
One of my favorite products at the moment to compliment this gorgeous lilac fashion moment is Julie Hewett Shimmie in Pixie.
You can use your fingers to pat it along the cheekbone for a slightly hued highlight. Or wear it alone on the eye, or over an eyeshadow to bring violet eyes to life.
Simply gorgeous!

So, today we are going to have another quick look at some racing stuff from this past weekend, and we're going to have ourselves a fun giveaway. A racing related giveaway. Perfect for race fans and for girls who don't follow racing at all...
First up, if you didn't check in yesterday, 12 of my favorite drivers from the NHRA had a little video chat with my blog readers.
That's you!
I don't know if that's ever been done before for someones blog? You should feel a bit special round about now... If you didn't see it yesterday, or if you want to see it again (and again and again) I've put it at the bottom of today's post. You have to check it out. Its very cool. There's a list of the drivers and links to their websites on yesterdays blog post Weekend At The Races.
I have to congratulate 2 of the drivers on the video for winning this weekend. Cory Mac won Top Fuel Fast Jack Beckman won Funny Car. Congratulations guys! And congratulations Don Schumacher Racing.
If you're on twitter you can follow Cory Mac click here and Jack Beckman at Shoeracing's twitter Click here
Anyway I'll be back to makeup videos in the next couple of days, but today I've got one more for the race fans. If you've never been to an NHRA race before you need to beware of the warmup. Its quite something. If you're walking through the pit area and you hear them fire up one of the cars, get upwind as quickly as you can. Its super loud (earplugs!!) And the fumes will make your eyes pour tears, your nose, throat and lungs burn.
Here's a video I took from inside the DSR Hospitality suite, looking into Jack Beckman's pit. On my handy dandy FlipCam UltraHD from The Flip.com Check out the folks at the fumey end of the car! Crazy!!
And now for our spectacular giveaway!
We have teamed up with the fantastic Drag Strip Girl Designs and are giving away one of these fabulous Drag Strip Girl ladies T shirts!

So this weekend the NHRA rolled into Firebird International Raceway.
Once again we were taken care of by Don Schumacher Racing, who not only have amazing hospitality, but really do seem to enjoy being fantastic hosts.
They take an already fun situation and really raise the bar. Love it!
Courtesy of the fine folks at TheFlip.com I was armed with a flipcam ultraHD so I could get you the goods from behind the scenes.
I decided it might be fun to have you meet some of my favorite drivers. So on Saturday we made you a little movie. You'll see how cool and fun these guys and girls are. Check it out:
Aren't they cool? There were a couple more I was planning on getting for you, but fun, racing and socializing all got me distracted...
Anyway, here are the stars of this little video, (in order of appearance) and I've linked their websites so that you can go check them out.
NHRA races are really fast, exciting, and so loud you can "feel the noise". Here is another clip I got with the FlipCam UltraHD. It shows John Force and Cruz Pedregon racing their Nitro Funny Cars.
Each run starts out with a burnout. Now I'm sure there's some technical thing going on, getting traction for the tires or something, but it always looks like big old macho man posturing, pre race psyching the opponent out . Its brilliant! I looove it!
Tomorrow I'll have some more fun stuff to show you, and who knows, maybe a giveaway too.
Actually, we will do a giveaway. See you tomorrow!
Love the dress, love the hair, love the makeup.
