OH GIRLS! look fabulous when you're dead

[Lady Cop]

i can barely wait for a makeover!


Cult cosmetics brand Illamasqua has teamed up with a family funeral firm to offer "ritual beauty" to the deceased.

The service - titled "The Final Act of Self-Expression" - is run by Illamasqua make-up artists in conjunction with Leverton & Sons, one of the oldest and most respected funeral homes in the UK.

Potential clients are invited to pre-plan their "final transformation" and "last glamorous look" with a tailored post-life makeover. The service is particularly aimed at people "for whom making-up is an intimate part of their identity." Smoky eyes and scarlet lips are just a few of the options available to transcend elegance and self-expression in the afterlife.

Starting at £450, the post-life makeover is carried out by Illamasqua beauty professionals who have been specially trained by embalmers at Leverton & Sons in the art of working with the deceased. (HAHAHA THEY NEVER ARGUE)

"To wear the most fabulous make-up applied by a professionally trained make-up artist for your final journey is the ultimate statement of celebration.

I don't plan to be viewed so something like that would be wasted on me.

The guys in the morgue will see you naked, you can't change that.

Jesus Christ, Dick, if I'm the slightest bit neurotic I'll spend the rest of my life thinking about that.

Oh Gawd

Zero: inspired by Eva Peron.


now THERE is a story that has long fascinated me.

LC...I agree, 33 at her death and such an impact.

excerpted from this article:
http://everything2.com/user/Taliesin%252...+Per%25F3n

Dr. Pedro Ara, a Spanish pathologist who had made a study of the preservation of bodies. For two years he worked on the preservation of her corpse. Her organs were left intact, and she was soaked in a mixture of acetate and nitrate. Over time, all the fluid in her body was replaced with wax, injected into the corpse. A thin film of wax was laid over the body. Ara was obsessive – a perfectionist, and considered Eva's preservation to be his finest work. He succeeded in his goal magnificently – her body was impervious to decay, amazingly lifelike, and this despite the delay between her death and the beginning of the preserving process. At some stage, two or three wax copies of the body were made.....

re: post#6
WOW! this is new! but lobotomies were common back then.



She was the darling of a nation and died at 33 at the height of her popularity, but now it’s been revealed that Eva Peron probably spent her last few months in a much-altered mental state.


Evidence has emerged that she was given a lobotomy to help her cope with the cancer that eventually ended her life in July 1952.


Peron, lovingly known as Evita, was the second wife of Argentina’s President Juan Peron and had been left in a hugely weakened condition from uterine cancer.

‘We have uncovered evidence that led us to believe she underwent a prefrontal lobotomy to relieve the pain, agitation and anxiety she suffered in the final months of her illness,’ Daniel Nijensohn, an Argentine-born neurosurgeon at Yale University told the Daily Telegraph.
