MAC Archie’s Girls Collection for Spring 2013

 

Betty and Veronica- the names alone are a vivid four-colour flashback to an era of sweet, comic book innocence. Their eternal love triangle, with all-American freckle-faced Archie, is legendary in its teen tension, tight sweaters and two-toned saddle shoe charm. Girl-next door blonde Betty vs. vivacious, spoiled rich-girl, brunette Veronica, an epic rivalry, now in two contrasting MAC Colour Collections, packaged in exclusively designed cases.

Hurrican Sandy & NYC

As most of you know NYC was hit very hard by Hurricane Sandy. I am a true "native New Yorker" born and raised on the UWS of Manhattan and I have never seen or experienced a natural disaster so intense. I was one of the lucky ones, I didn't lose power, but I was a block away from the evacuation zone so my whole apartment building lobby was flooding. Luckily, my super was able to stop the flooding so we didn't have to turn off the power. Words can't express how horrible I feel for everyone that has lost their homes, or a loved one in this tragic disaster. However, New Yorkers are strong and I have faith that we will rebuild this city better then before! I was able to gather pictures from different outlets and wanted to post what was happening. This is Hurricane Sandy through my eyes.

This was what 1st Avenue looked like. You could canoe down it.

A under water Subway Station

Flooding on the West Side Highway

 The flooding at the World Trade Center Build Site

All of the ambulances that were lined up outside of  NYU Hospital when their back up generator gave out.

Flooding on and around the FDR

 

Sty Town under water. I used to live here.

The East Village were one of the worst areas hit.

The carousel in DUMBO, Brooklyn

Taxi's underwater 

And then there is the power loss. All of Manhattan below 42nd St. is still out of power. They will probably be out of power until the end of the week. I was able to find some photos that captured this Erie darkness. For the city that never sleeps it looks pretty tired.

 

Soho NY

The left side is BK the right side is Manhattan

The West Village with no Power

 

Left Side: Manhattan Before Sandy Right Side: Manhattan After Sandy

 

The Flatiron District

 

Totally dark Union Square.

But there seems to be some hope for a rainbow emerged after the storm over the Gowanus Canal.

MAC & Archie Comics 2013

M·A·C Cosmetics and Archie Comics are collaborating on a full colour cosmetics collection celebrating the iconic looks of Betty and Veronica. Coming Spring 2013.

The collection will celebrate the iconic looks of Betty and Veronica!  I can’t tell you how excited I am for this- I was a huge fan of Archie Comics and grew up reading them! I can’t wait to see what the collection looks like!

We want to know who you think should win Archie’s heart. Tell MAC by texting “Betty” or “Veronica” to 898622 to support their favorite girl. Fans of the winner will be the first to hear when the collection is available online Spring 2013. Msg &Data rates may apply http://bit.ly/OCjeVK. 

I was always partial to Betty so I will be voting for her! I wonder if she wins, if the collection would be filled with golds and highlighters, maybe new MSF's? If Veronica was to win I could see the makeup having a new red lipstick for sure and possibly some new black liquid eyeliners!

M·A·C Cosmetics kicks-off the start of San Diego Comic Con with a special event at our Gaslamp store with celebrated American comic book artist and illustrator, Dan Parent of the famed Archie Comics series, which introduced the world to beloved fictional teenagers Archie, Jughead, Betty and Veronica!

Dan will demonstrate illustrations and provide custom sketches for fans who drop into the M·A·C Cosmetics location just steps away from the San Diego Convention Center.

A street team of Archie’s will be walking around the streets of San Diego, encouraging fans to meet Dan at M·A·C Gaslamp. You can follow them with the below handles!

Who will you vote for? I haven't really been excited for a new MAC collection in a while. I even wasn't that thrilled with the summer collection. I can't believe I will have to wait until 2013 to find out who wins! Leave a comment below and let me know who you will vote for!

Until Next Time,
