A glitter conundrum and gay for pay...just another day!

Chuh!
So I have had an LG Viewty (KU990) for ages and when I got it, I didn't get the software cd with it, as Meteor (the provider) were apparently very "rushed" with the high demand for the phone.
SO for months my phone has remained un-customised much to my annoyance and general distress.
However, on searching for a download for the pc suite, I found that most people who bought the phone didn't actually get the software at all, which is annoying as searching for a good download has been difficult.
I have found one but from the comments left on the link, it remains to be seen if it actually will work.
Bah!
I just want some ringtones I can change around and stuff.

In other news, I recieved an e-mail the other day telling me that Malachi Marx has written a book detailing his work in the gay porn and escort industries.
It sounds really interesting because he used to be a high fashion model then started doing porn which would have been career death only a few years ago but these days gives people an edgy credibility.
Now, Mr. Marx is straight in his "regular" daily life but has earned a such a huge amount of money from doing the porn/escort thing, that he can retire from it comfortably which is, I suppose in a way, the dream of today.
His book is called Gay4Pay, funnily enough, and I'm looking forward to reading it.
(hmmm...finding a clothed picture of the man in question proved almost difficult!!)

For a long time, I maintained that I didn't like Gosh Cosmetics very much as I thought they weren't of the greatest quality, and were to be quite honest, grossly over priced.
Recently, however, I have been experimenting with some of their products out of some good word of mouth and the fact that teh nearest counter to me is Benefit and well, thats another story.
Richie Nickel in his fabulous videos mentioned the effects powder by Gosh in Holographic Silver being similar to MAC's 3D Silver Glitter, but more finely milled making it easier to work with.
So I tried it out and it is a LOT less chunkie than it's MAC counterpart though not necessarily easier to work with if you work with pigments as much as I do!
I love using in the inner corner of my eye near the tear duct for an amazing light catching glow.
The first pic is the Gosh powder while the second (and scarily huge) pic is the MAC glitter.
I like both a lot but MAC's is a Pro only product and is pricey while Gosh's glitter is available mostly everwhere and retails in Ireland for €10.
Which is grossly overpriced!
=)

Going to Dublin during the week so I'll be dropping into MAC (as they have Pro discount!) and Illamasqua, as I need a fix!
