NEWS FLASH: In the future, we may not all be white!
The cast for the movie of The Hunger Games has been known for a while, but a certain segment of the fandom is having a hard time coming to terms with something about it: Namely, that Rue and Thresh, both described in the book as dark-skinned, will be played by African-American actors. Worse, so will Cinna, whose ethnicity isn't mentioned, and therefore must be white.

Hunger Games Tweets has been keeping its eye on some of the worse elements. Warning: Some extremely vile, racist language. Did you know that sweet, innocent girls must always be pale and fair-haired? And gay men can't be black? I'm telling you, it's an education.

Now, if you'll excuse me, I must go vomit.

Gold eyeliner is always yes, regardless. It won't be as striking on fair skin, but it would still be awesome.

Ok, I'm sold. I'm putting a trip to Sephora on my calendar next week!

Following up on this, and I know it's been a while, but I wasn't able to get to Sephora at all. I got the gold eyeliner and it's completely invisible on me. Well, there's a slight hint of gold glitter, but that's it. I did get a fairly cheap one by Hard Candy though, so that might be why.

What I think I'll do next is use my usual brown eyeliner, and then go over it with the gold to give a subtle shimmer. I am having fun playing with it though. I have been sort of stuck in a make-up routine for a while, and doing something new is really fun.

Oh, that sounds lovely! I may have to try that myself, it would make sense to put it over something darker like that, I bet that would help a lot. You must be very very fair then, if it's that hard to see on you - but I always imagine you looking like Eowyn from the LOTR movies, so maybe my mental picture of you is pretty accurate. XD

Well, if you only consider skin tone and hair color, yeah, that's about right. I wish I were as pretty as Miranda Otto!
