Belmont and Damon. Going to see old friend Pat McCurdy play – with Mitchell, Ann Marie, and Rick. I had spent the afternoon downtown at Barney’s – with Eric and Michael – Eric did my makeup and then the two of them gave me a ride to Beat Kitchen. On the way there, Eric regaled Michael and me with a bit he and Mitchell came up with – about a small gay Irish boy whose name is Dungaree (what??) – and Dungaree’s main love in life is the show Doogie Hauser – and Dungaree’s father is a tired defeated vaguely homophobic man, who calls out to his son in the backyard in a thick Irish accent, “Dungaree, come on in the house now … Doogie Hauser’s on …” If you can imagine the thickest most ridiculous brogue imaginable (Michael, who is Irish, was howling, and saying, “Uhm … That’s really more Scottish than Irish”) – then you know what Dungaree’s father sounds like. DUNGAREE?? I love my friends. Dungaree?? For God’s SAKE. I was laughing so hard I nearly cried my fabulous eyeliner off.
Some photos below. And yes, I took a picture of myself in the basement bathroom mirror. What of it. I wanted to try to capture the makeover magic so I can try to re-create it.

Me. You can’t really see Eric’s glorious handiwork in the dim light. But that’s also part of his genius. You don’t look overdone or too made up.
More of me. You can’t really see the EYES which is what was so amazing. Oh well.
Show’s about to start.
Pat.
Flashback to the Pre-Paleozoic Age.
More pre-Paleozoic behavior. Pat looks like a frightening braindead character from Deliverance here. Should Ann Marie and I fear for our lives?
very cool! and mirrors — especially basement bathroom mirrors — are the best places for self-portraits.
sounds overall like an awesome time of things, and you deserve it. ^_^
As soon as I saw your comment about the eye liner I went straight to the pic to see it!! I am a makeup freak! Astoundingly beautiful and yet so subtle in the photo! Very lovely…sounds like you had a blast! Good for you!
Thinking of you….
Mich-L – not only did Erik=x put liner on the inside of my lower lid – but also on the inside of my UPPER lid. !!! Who knew?? It was a scary process and my eyeball kept rolling back into my head like a shark when it is about to attack – but the effect was unbelievable! And yes – subtle – but so glamorous! I never considered putting liner on the inside of the upper lid before – but now I can totally see the possibilities!!
I can vouch for the FABULOUS make up… and also, hair, I have to say. Totally glamorous. The bathroom photos merely *suggest* the beauty.
So fun!
O.K. so It’s been so long since I have SEEN you, the following song is now in my head for the rest of the day:
“Girl, (doon, doon, doon doon.) you’ll be a woman soon….”
Seems like it was just yesterday; you in your dungarees (ha ha), I in my guy with fork shirt.
Sounds like you are enjoying your romp down memory lane hugs to the gang
Philet
Guy with fork!! hahahahahahahaha
Oh, those were the days! I’m getting together with ann marie tonight! Next time we go to Pat – you HAVE to make a little road trip and join us!
I STILL HAVE THAT SHIRT! I’ll take a mirror shot with it later and send it. as for the road trip, HELL YES let give me some notice and I’m there!
You can’t really see the EYES which is what was so amazing.
Good lord I can ONLY see the eyes. I’d say that’s a striking effect.
Also, no offense Phil, but the caption on the very last photo should be “BRAAAIIINNSS”.
