I don’t get a lot of time to watch tv, and there are some shows it just kills me to miss.
Now while I do my hair and make-up, I watch uploaded versions of the show from ninjavideo.com. Of course, there’s a lot of pausing and rewinding due to noisy hairdryers and having a lash curler in my line of vision.
Aww, I’m glad you’re able to find time to watch them though
Thank god for TiVo!
Hey Cristine,
Gud one!!YES i luvvvvvvv to listen while doing makeup soft romantic music wen going to dinner and trance wen going to pub,and arabic wen to a arabic concert,its kinda funny i always go according to mood.And yes with bright lights of my makeup table just alike a professional one’s!(just letten u know IN ADVANCE!

Ohh, how fun it must be to have bright lights at your makeup table!
I can’t listen to anything most of the time because I’m in a dorm and it would wake up my roommate
LOL, I used to do my makeup in the dark because my roommate would be sleeping!
lol yup! I’m basically in the dark except for my little lighted magnifying mirror
Always something upbeat and fast, but the genre always varies on my iPod!
Ohh, fun, Vee! What are your favorites right now?
I don’t have a TV or radio in my bedroom where I do my makeup. I do have a 3 year old who will fuss when he realizes I am off in my room. And his father always has to see what I am up to. Give a mom some peace!
That’s me, no radio or TV, so I usually do it to nothing at all, lol.
But yeah, give mom some peace!!
Why I cant vote
there are nothing to choose!
I only can see the vote result
I don’t know, Moon! That is so weird
I wonder if it’s something in your browser that disables the code!
(while nervously glancing at watch) “baby you don’t need mascara.. they’re perfect already!”
(tapping foot impatiently) “..maybe i can help you pick out your shoes while you do that..i know you want black stilettoes.. shall i take all your black heels out so you can pick while you put your face on?”
(still glancing at watch) “.. you’re not doing anything to your hair are you..?”
LOL! That was a hilarious story
I actually watch TV during my makeup! But mostly it’ll be on MTV or VH1 cuz I love me some music!!
Oh, cool! I love how there are a ton of videos on in the mornings!
There is always music playing in our house, but while I’m doing my make-up I usually get my husband in the back ground making comments about how complicated all the make-up application seems to him, as well as comments on how long it takes
lol, boys will be boys!
I like to just be alone in the bathroom with no distractions when I am doing my makeup! haha
LOL! How very unique of you
I have certain CDs I do makeup to. It has to be ones I am really familiar with (so I can concentrate on my makeup and still sing along) and not too many really slow songs.
Some favorites:
Metric – Grow Up and Blow Away
Tegan and Sara – So Jealous
The White Stripes – White Blood Cells
Regina Spektor – Begin to Hope
The Dresden Dolls
Sarah Slean – Night Bugs
Arctic Monkeys – Favourite Worst Nightmare
The Organ – Grab That Gun
Hawksley Workman – Last Night We Were the Delicious Wolves
Shakira – ¿Dónde Están Los Ladrones?
Nina Gordon – Tonight and the Rest of My Life
Hey Charlotte! I love how you have so many great CDs you rotate through
I’m usually in such deep concentration that I don’t hear anything.
