Days of the Dead – Pro Photo Ops, Atlanta 2019
It’s another year and Miss Jaye is ready for more of her horror con adventures! She attended Days of the Dead in Atlanta January 25-27 and took part in some fantastic pro photo ops with stars like Kathy Najimy, Amelia Kinkade and Linnea Quigley from Night of the Demons, 2 different versions of Jason Voorhees, and more! Here are her photos from the Atlanta edition of Days of the Dead: Kane Hodder as Jason Voorhees Nancy Loomis, Sandy Johnson’s assistant, Miss Jaye, PJ Soles, and Sandy Johnson Amelia Kinkade and Linnea Quigley...
read moreBerry Controversial: Kat Von D’s Lolita Collection
Berries and plums are another trend that’s been popping up more and more the last year or so, and the controversial beauty maven, Kat Von D, is more than happy to jump on the bandwagon with her newest shade collection, inspired by one of her best-selling lipstick shades: Lolita. A year or so ago, KVD Beauty did put out a Lolita pressed powder, advertised as appropriate for both eyes and cheeks, but this time around they decided to launch a full 8-shade palette, a liquid eyeliner, and a Glimmer Veil lip topper. I’m terrible with...
read moreSparkle & Shade: ColourPop’s Glitterally Obsessed
I’ve already declared 2019 to be the year of glitter, so was there ever any doubt that I was going to try out and review the ColourPop Glitterally Obsessed glitter gels? Of course not! Did you think I would talk about them and not bring up the obvious drama that surrounded their release? Not a chance. Let’s start with the sparkle, and then dive into the shade. In a holiday season that was filled with a ridiculous number of releases from the value brand, one of their releases was a collab with influencer Bretman Rock. The Wet...
read moreThe Renovation Continues – In Episode 3, Miss Jaye Is “All Out Of Bubblegum”
Kittens, let me be real with you: Miss Jaye: The Renovation is turning into a much more complicated project than I ever imagined! I thought I would just buy a few self help books, make a few snarky comments, and laugh my way to podcasting gold. Little did I know, I had some real work to do and the Universe always finds a way to get you to do the things you need to do whether you want to or not! And thus, The Renovation was born! In this third episode, I read the first book that was recommended to my by someone else: Jen Sincero’s You...
read moreA Little Taste Of Heaven: Lime Crime’s Venus XS Palettes
Do good things really come in small packages? Lime Crime was banking on that idea with their holiday release of the Venus XS quad palettes in three color ways: Rose Gold, Silver, and Solid Gold. Each quad is a little smaller than the typical Venus palette (though it’s closer in size that you might expect – these have quite chunky packaging!) and has a mix of matte and shimmer/glitter shades, retails for $20 (as of this writing, all three are still available in the Lime Crime website), and is available at both the Lime Crime site...
read moreJeffree Star Delivers Out Of This World Alien Palette
It’s my first palette review of 2019, y’all! And I’m really hoping that what I love about this palette continues through 2019: luscious, gorgeous, variations of green! I’m talking about the Alien palette from Jeffree Star Cosmetics. Obviously this palette was released last year, but I didn’t pick it up until the restock, and even then I was already in Arizona for a work trip when it arrived, so here we are finally getting around to looking at it in the new year. And boy, is this thing worth the wait....
read moreLow Buy Year – January Update
Well, it’s the 15th of January and I’ve already used up my 5 item slots for the month AND used my special birthday gift slot. Oy. Let’s back up. If you read my previous post, I decided that 2019 was going to be a low buy year. I’ve set certain limits for myself about the number of products I can buy in a month, gave myself a couple of little “cheat” opportunities, and am working to control my spending. So far I haven’t gone over, but when I had used up 4 of my slots by January 5th and used up the...

This is a post about body positivity. I am not an expert; I’m just someone who has been wrasslin’ around with body image and self-worth issues in a lot of different ways for most of my years on this planet. I’m also not done yet. There are still days where I stand in front of a mirror and I can’t look myself in the eyes or when I avoid physical contact because this body feels like a cage. But those days are fewer than they used to be and I have better ways of dealing with them than I used to, so I wanted to share...
read moreOh Lordt! 2019 – The Year Of The Low Buy!
It seems like everyone is jumping on the trend of Low Buy and No Buy years in the YouTube beauty space, and never one to shy away from an outrageous trend I decided to join them. I’ve been watching a fair amount of videos by Hannah Louise Posten who spent all of 2018 on a No Buy Year (not only with makeup, but several areas of her life). Now, the name is a little misleading: a No Buy year doesn’t necessarily mean you don’t get to purchase anything, and everyone establishes their own rules for their personal projects, but...

It’s a new year, but some things never change: Miss Jaye may be taking on all kinds of new projects, but she still loves stomping stages and she’s getting right back into it for a special appearance with BJ Armani’s Cabaret on December 12th! The show is happening on Saturday, January 12 at the American Legion and Miss Jaye is joining an All Star cast that includes Genevee Ramona Love, Alotta Shots, and Harrie Bradshaw, plus more local and regional favorites.
