This year is so important for us as a whole. Our economy is going down, things are headed for the worst and we need change. I encourage people to actively participate in our democracy and effect change! In this spirit, some bloggers and I have gotten together to do FOTD's for this cause. Yes we are beautiful, we are on the computer (alot!), but we are also involved in our communities and are aware of what's going on around us.
During the DNC, I felt proud of my country, proud of Obama and proud of my people! We can do it y'all! Barack the vote! (Where's my t-shirt man?!)
Here's my FOTD:
"Are you registered to vote?"
"Are you registered to vote?"My subtle look with bold lips, putting on the colors of the American flag!

I love the lip color!!! beautiful...
this is such a fun challenge :)
Simply beautiful.
Girl why are you afraid of red lips? You look beautiful!
You are killing that red lip! Love the whole look!
Ohmigoodness Yums!!!! Beautiful! The intensity of the eyes is just out of this world! I don't know why this challenge excited me so much, but it really did. It's great to know that while we enjoy make-up, we can also discuss issues that matter. We ain't just dumb broads wearin' lipsticks!
That is hot!!! I'm loving the lips! Red lips look great on you!
LOVE THE BOLD RED STATEMENT LIP!!!!
This look is so smooth, cool and professional - I want to vote YOU for president!

Don't forget me, i got added to the list late lol www.justkissnmakeup.com
OMG so pretty! i loves it girl :) i need to start adding brown to my e/s combos to blend out the crease like you do...it looks so pretty!
Oh man, you are so pretty! Love the red lipstick look. My FOTD will be up around noon time, don't slap me with a fine please :D

Red looks great on u.. Love the look
FREAKING BEAUTIFUL!!!!
soOoo pretty.. you're gorgeous women! LOUD N PROUDDD =) !!!
Hottness!!!!! Love that red lip gurl...:)
Very pretty, Miss Kia, but is it political? If that was me, I wouldn't have wasted time painstakingly applying all of that makeup --I'd gather all of my eyeliners and then write "Vote for Barack, if you're not a total cock" on my forehead in red, white and blue. True, it's not necessarily 'pretty', but it IS 'pretty political'. Just a thought.
I love your eyeshadow...you must teach me how you did that white liner so perfect on your eye. What do u think is the perfect white eyeliner?
lip color is awesome
i absolutely love it! you've never failed me love. ;) thank you so much for allowing me to participate and thank you again for being an amazing beautiful woman. xoxo ;)
