[MsButtahfly]

BTW....I LOVE NYMPHETTE!

[MsButtahfly]

Wow this is sooo pretty!! The colors you select are always on point!!

PS- I saw an adaptation of the musical Purlie here in DC when I was in middle school...you took me back girl! :)

[ElleJoie]

And I saw "Purlie" in New York...Cleavon Little, Melba Moore, Linda Hopkins, etc. One of the "older" (I was in my early 20s then, so everyone seemed "old" to me) ladies who was in our party knew Linda Hopkins personally, and we all took the subway uptown together.

[EmsyJay]

I just can't wait for more of your videos. You have so much to share, and I want to hear more!

[ElleJoie]

Thank you. I need to be spurred on.

[EmsyJay]

Thank you, MsB!

I'm happy to provide the flashback! :)

[lisajoycole]

girl how do u get the colors to go together. I be looking a hot mess do tell

[EmsyJay]

LOL! When I have two colors that look like they might clash a little (for instance, like the cool green and the warm green in this look), I overlap them more than I would with other colors. That way, they create a third color between them that helps relate them. With good blending, you can make pretty much any color combination happen.

Thanks for asking!

[ATLMicki]

Love that lipgloss on you. I'm not a lipgloss person but I'm feeling that. I think I will try my nymphette lipglass with this look.

[EmsyJay]

Oooooh! I have liked Nymphette forever but never bought it! I'll have to give it another look next time I'm in purchase mode.

[TheWorldsDresser]

Who loves Clevon Little? I do. My favorite is the...ummm...let's call it the work song from Blazing Saddles. Keep 'em coming girl! Rock on!

[EmsyJay]

:) You know you just made me go and order Blazing Saddles on DVD! I haven't seen it in years!

Thanks for dropping by!

[pinkpornstar1]

EmsyJay, I am sorry girl I love your video's I didnt mean it like that, I was just watching you and ended up pay attention to the song like a history lesson You always play different music..I got to pick some cotton! yes Its still cotton fields In the south!

[EmsyJay]

There's nothing to be sorry about. Nobody's mad at you, sweetie. There's nothing but love on my pages. :)

[pinkpornstar1]

WEW! thank you

[ATLMicki]

Hey Emsy. That Velvet moss does not treat me good. It comes on too black Is it mainly for the crease? When I tried it at M.A.C, she used it as a liner. I love it in the pot and would love it to show on my lid the same color. Any suggestions?

[pinkpornstar1]

I didnt mean it like that I meant it like we are learning makeup looks and history

[ElleJoie]

Point taken, Ms Pinkpornstar. Daughters and sisters sometimes misunderstand each other. We're all cool here.

[EmsyJay]

Right on, Mother!

[EmsyJay]

:) Thank you, Lidia. <333

[EmsyJay]

Hey, Micki! To get a matte color to look on my lid as it does in the pot, I usually try packing it on over a white or a light neutral base. I also sometimes use a lighter shimmery base of the same color (for example, Corn shadestick with Chrome Yellow eyeshadow). You might even find that a gold base will work with Velvet Moss. Or give Lucky Jade shadestick a try if you have it. Thanks!

[j030977]

LOL at pinkpornstar. Get with that ole negro lift me up music.

Anyway, this is especially pretty. I love greens! Duh.

[EmsyJay]

Thank you, Jen! I love greens, too!

[pinkpornstar1]

This is so pretty! But this song say's the cotton fields is white as snow.:(

[ATLMicki]

Well, cotton is white and so is snow. It's just a word.

I know you aint jumpin on the WISENUBIAN band wagon.

Well let me tell tell ya one thing,

I am black as coal, nappy as wool, "And I'm beautiful!" Now if that makes me brainwashed, then so be it, my mama still loves me!

I love you too Pinky!

[pinkpornstar1]

Sorry didnt mean it Like that guy's

[EmsyJay]

We're all cool, Pink. Don't worry.

[EmsyJay]

Oh, Micki! I know you didn't mention the "W" word on my video! ;)

Pinky's our sister, and her heart is always kind and open. Your mama loves you; I love you; Pinky loves you. No worries, just crossed wires from time to time. :)

[ElleJoie]

You two are riots!

[EmsyJay]

Thank you, Pinky!

Yeah, the song is from a Broadway musical called Purlie, which is based on Ossie Davis' 1961 play Purlie Victorious. The song is about yearning for social justice in a time in which it was lacking in the South and the North. Ultimately, both characters agree that their Georgia home is where they want to be, but they dream of being there and being treated fairly and with dignity.

Thank you so much for watching and commenting, Lidia!
