In the movies, Wednesday's makeup was pretty much nonexistent... Black eyeliner and black mascara and you are good to go. If you want to glam it up a little bit, do a smokey eyeshadow and add some fake eyelashes.

polyvore play: go ask alice

One pill makes you larger,

And one pill makes you small.

And the ones that mother gives you,

Don't do anything at all.

Go ask Alice when she's ten feet tall.

And if you go chasing rabbits,

And you know you're going to fall,

Tell 'em a hookah-smoking caterpillar,

Has given you the call.

Call Alice when she was just small.
